Gas boiler with heat pump cylinder


Recommended Posts

Hi guys

 

Might be a silly question, can I use a heat pump unvented cylinder with a gas boiler? Was thinking about being heat pump ready in the future. Was looking at Newark Cylinders. 

 

Thanks

Yes the only difference is the coil size, it's way bigger, so you excellent heat transfer. You could flow at low temps heat to 48-50, get very little heat loss at the same time. If you are future proofing make sure you size for a typical heat pump i.e. how many litres it holds, will be bigger than a normal gas boiler cylinder.

I'm planning on a 210l cylinder which matches up with the chart exactly, got 2 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms but 3 of us in the house. 

 

Thank you 🙂
