Air Source Heat Pump - Tech Review and Our Home Experience

Air Source Heat Pump - Technical Review and Our Experience
True and honest technical geek review. 

It has been five months since our air source heat pump has been installed, at our home farmhouse, and we came off the grid and onto this greener more eco energy, so we felt it's a good time to do a detailed technical review the performance and efficiency of Global Energy System's Caernarfon 18kW Eco Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP).

If you’re interested in an air source heat pump from Global Energy Systems, you can use this code when you contact them and you’ll get £200 off your installation (and we’ll get some Amazon vouchers): GESRFAF000160

As part of the installation, because we have bivalent system (if the air source heat pump is struggling, the oil boiler will kick in to get flow temperature up) we have additional monitoring equipment installed which we use to take readings to send back to the Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive department.

It's because we have this equipment installed that we can monitor how well the pump is performing and whether it's meeting the performance ratios that we were promised by Global Energy System's sales team. In addition to this, we have access to the Ecolink platform that's hosted by Global Energy Systems which provides a detailed breakdown of our energy usage.

This video explains how much heat we're generating versus how much electricity we're consuming, which provides us with a coefficient of performance (COP) for this pump, and we'll also show you how much noise the pump generates.

Since this heat pump has been running over spring and summer in the UK, we'll be doing a follow up video in autumn to show the performance of the ASHP when temperatures start to drop, followed by another video in winter that will be the pump's biggest test. Once we've completed a year, this will give us a clear indication of whether ASHPs are more efficient than oil boilers.
