Air source heat pump advice

[lenny]

Im looking into installing a air source heat pump. Is it possible to install diectly a ufh system? The system requires about 4kw. I have been told it must be installed with a thermalstore. The problem I have is lack of space for the thermalstore.

Thanks

Len

The 'Renewable' bit about GSHP is supposed to be solar. ie the ground is reheated by the sun.
I have been researching heat pumps and found that they have a bad name in the UK because many installations haven't been done properly. Sizing the pump and collector is the key to success.

Hello Solar Tido,
You are right it appears that most people do not know what they are doing.
Our installation was a botched job. NICEIC have found numerous problems. Mitsubishi have found problems, however guess what, BOTH Bray and Ecoliving state there is nothing wrong AND claim it's installed properly!!. The whole industry needs one hell of a kick up the rear. These guy's just do not give a dam, they only want to sell these things without any care or thought.
