Heat Pumps Today

Stiebel Eltron has assisted New Heat Solutions to undertake a complete mechanical package for OCB Construction Ltd on a new build project in Epsom, Surrey. Stiebel Eltron and New Heat Solutions collaborate on renewable heat project in Surrey www.acrjournal.uk/heat-pumps 23 I N S T A L L A T I O N S "Mark McManus, Managing Director of Stiebel Eltron UK, said: “We’re seeing so many more new projects putting sustainability at the heart of their design, and rightly so if the UK is to meet its net-zero targets.” The package included all heating and hot water requirements for the 2,600sqm single-occupant property, with a high temperature air source heat pump unit for increased energy e ciency. The property, which is made up of 6 bedrooms, features underfloor heating throughout the entire ground floor with convector style radiators throughout the first & second floors of the property. The system features Stiebel Eltron’s WPL25 AS air to water heat pump, combined with a glass lined Stiebel Eltron unvented cylinder and classic bu…er vessel, providing hydraulic separation between the underfloor heating and radiator circuits within each apartment. The air-water heat pump boasts an energy e ciency rating of A+++ and was also chosen due to its higher peak flow temperatures, which can reach over 65°C for colder days and months. Stiebel Eltron and New Heat Solutions completed the project in five months and as part of the handover process for residents, provided a thorough, yet easy-to-understand tutorial of the low-carbon heating system. We have estimated that that the homeowner will save around £260 annually on their energy bills compared to if they would have elected to use a fossil fuel system, whilst having a low carbon system which is better for our environment and future proofs this beautiful residence.
