What mattered on this project
Good heat pump performance comes from proper design, not just the outdoor unit.
01 — Heat loss
The system should be sized around the property’s actual heat demand.
02 — Radiators
Emitter sizing affects the flow temperature needed to keep the home warm.
03 — Optimisation
Controls, weather compensation and flow temperatures affect long-term efficiency.

Installation FAQs
Will every heat pump installation look the same?
No. Every home has different heat loss, radiators, hot water requirements and controls.
Will I need radiator upgrades?
Not always. Some homes already have suitable radiators, while others benefit from upgrades to support lower flow temperatures.
Why does flow temperature matter?
Lower flow temperatures can help improve heat pump efficiency and reduce running costs.
