A 7kW heat pump in a Holland Park side passage
We replaced a gas boiler in Holland Park W14 with a 7kW Vaillant aroTHERM plus air source heat pump in three days, with the £7,500 grant taken off the price. The outdoor unit fits a narrow side passage, and the cylinder is a short pipe run away. Space is what most west London houses lack, and a side passage is often the answer if the unit gets the clearance it needs.
The side passage was narrow, so the unit was placed where it still has the clear space in front of the coil that the manufacturer specifies, without blocking the way through.
The cylinder is close to the outdoor unit, which keeps the pipework short, the heat losses low and the installation quicker.
