Heat Pumps - post here.

Yep, in my defense I had a 2 year old shouting at me at the time 😅

Hi

I was just wondering if anyone has any experience or knowledge of the Immergas Magis heatpump range?

Thanks in advance

I had a quote of €3000+vat for a 8Kw monoblock if that helps

Any chance you could PM the supplier? Is that for the HP or fitting included?

Beware of Heat Pumps imported from China as they don't have certification and if you are going for a grant it will not be paid without it.

Midea even do Chinese is up there with the best and one of the quietest on the market. Also Midea is one of the largest heat pump Aircon company's in the world. If you Google them you will see. Sure Grants heat pump is Chinese also probably most of the components on others are made in China too. :-). The Midea also has a 10year warranty. I don't have any affiliation with them.

I just moved into a new build and the heat pump is great. I programmed for the water to be heated to 65 degrees and in the kitchen sink it can be too hot to touch.

The weird thing is the showers get to a nice temperature but nowhere near what I get tin the sink. Is something wrong?

That's good to hear they do get great reviews what size unit? How big is the house? Are you running rads or UFH?

Is there somewhere I can get a ball park on getting a HP installed in our house or a similar thread to this one?

I am getting PV in next month and was wondering if there is value in going the whole hog.

Thanks

Hi there,

Can anyone PM regarding a decent installer in the South Wicklow area.

I'm just beginning to shop around, I'd also like recommendations, we have a 180 Sq m two story house, 4 bed, with underfloor heating on the ground floor. It's powered by LPG Flogas at the moment, and the boiler is around 10 yrs old. We also have solar water heater already installed so I'm only looking for a heat pump to do heating, no hot water for showers or hot taps.

We have a few rads in the 1st floor, I guess these probably need to be replaced to be a little larger to account for the lower temps.

I'm very familiar with heat pumps having had one installed in our house in the Netherlands, and when we came home to Ireland we rented a house that had a Daikin Heat pump already installed.

For us with a Daikin, the optimal usage since the house was A2, was to run the heat pump intermittently, had night saver installed, and ran the pump only in the morning for a few hours just before the rate changed to the day rate, and also for a couple of hours in the evening, this was sufficient to keep the house warm at around 20-21 (we prefer not so hot). I also set the heat pump to be dynamic depending on the temperature outside, and in general only kept the water in the rads between 35-45 depending on the outside weather. For the hot water I had it set to 40-45 depending on the weather with the heating done mostly at night with a 30 min boost during the day. Then had the tank go to 60 once a week just incase for 2 hours to avoid any potential problems with keeping the hot water tank at low temps. Figured I'd share this here since bills for hot water and heat were the lowest of everyone in the estate with these optimisations :-)

We are also thinking of getting Solar PV to compliment this new setup, as we are already driving a 2016 30 Kw Leaf, and plan to route the extra power to the battery during the summer months (not sure about getting a battery, is anyone using to get charge night-saver during the night and for discharge during the day, probably overkill but would love to see a spreadsheet to see if there is actually a sweet spot?)

Thanks,

D..

Anyone able to comment on ecoforest pumps?

hi I’m in process Of ordering a heat pump the one I was ordering was a stiebel eltron heat pump but I’ll have to wait to long with delays the other one is a Mitsubishi heat pump has anyone had any experience with Mitsubishi heat pumps?

Speaking of grants, what happens if you go for a hp not yet on the harp db as i do not see any of the modern r290 systems from nibe, vaillant or veissmann on it.

The harp db is not the issue, the issue is does the rig comply with the two relevant EN standards and meet the 300 % efficiency test when in DEAP, so hardly an excellent question.

Excluding stuff because its not in a database will not fly under EU laws

Harp just has the spec sheets for easy access for assessors.

Its not the vendor, its the EN standards
