Installation case study — Cascade heat pumps
Two heat pumps. Three jobs.
A high heat loss property, a full domestic hot water demand and a swimming pool to warm — solved with one intelligently split cascade rather than three separate systems.
A period cottage, a tight courtyard and an R290 heat pump that has to sit somewhere compliant, quiet and out of the way. Siting designed first, system designed around it.
A modern house, sound fabric and every reason to expect a heat pump to perform. Whether it does comes down to the system designed around it, not the unit bolted to the wall.
Four case studies, four different manufacturers. Not indecision — the result of specifying against the property every time instead of against a supplier agreement.
Some heat pump systems genuinely need added water volume. Plenty have one fitted that should not. Here is how to tell the difference, and what to ask the installer who is quoting you.
