Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyT Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Maybe the experienced plumber can buy one from the plumbers merchants where he will have an account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, I was in my local plumbers merchants and asked which ASHP they stocked, answer was none! Loads of boilers but not a single ASHP.

PeterW Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Nibe are expensive for what they are. Look at alternatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me ideally it would be able to reverse for cooling and have simple controls in the 5kw range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of boilers but not a single ASHP. They can sell any old boiler to the plumber that buys the heating pack and throws them in with little thought. No point in having a heat pump sitting on a shelf, doesn’t mean they can’t buy in for you just like any other non standard item Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balraj Appadu Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 Thank you i have been looking at alternative but currently the lead times on many ASHP in excess of 6 weeks for some even like 6 months for Ecodan. As I do not to pay for excessive installation costs given RHI needing MCS certification - licence to print money as far as I am concerned( in excess of £2K for installation with a preplumbed cylinder!!, I am trying to find something which my plumber can install Any ideas for a 7-9kW ASHP with cooling and heating function easy to fit thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpmiller Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I've recently bought a Cool Energy 9.5kW unit and it was easy to instal and has a pretty intuitive controller. Temperatures can be set freely for heating or cooling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is probably a good day for internal and external for two people, and another day to sort your internal pipework and wiring etc. Commissioning is half a day, and you potentially need to link into a heating system too, so that’s day 4 complete. So at £2k, that’s £500 a day for two people to run a business, pay for tools, van, insurance and the tax and NI. Doesn’t sound expensive to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
