♻️ Back to one of our previous heat pump installs!

We recently returned to this installation to make a few tweaks to suit the customer’s preferences — and it was great to see the job all finished now everything around it is complete! 👌

This was a large bungalow, heated by a Viessmann Vitocal 150-A Air Source Heat Pump, paired with a Viessmann unvented cylinder and Viessmann Divicon.

The system was designed to run fully open loop, allowing the heat pump to circulate directly around the heating system without unnecessary hydraulic separation, helping to keep flow temperatures low and efficiency high. 📈

⚙️ Why the Viessmann Divicon?

The Divicon provides a neat, integrated heating circuit solution, incorporating the pump and hydraulic components into one compact unit. It helps keep the installation tidy, serviceable and allows us to achieve the hydraulic design the system was intended to run on.

And the reason for our return visit?

The customer’s complaint was that the bungalow was actually getting TOO HOT! 😂🔥

Not a bad problem to have from an air source heat pump!

A few small adjustments later and the system is now better matched to the customer’s preferred indoor temperature.

What’s even more pleasing is that the performance figures are now coming in. While these are taken from the Viessmann controller and may be a little optimistic compared to independent metering, the system is currently averaging a SCOP of around 5.5. 👏

For those not familiar with SCOP, that means for every 1kW of electricity used, the heat pump is producing around 5.5kW of heat over the course of the year — exactly what good design, low flow temperatures, open-loop hydraulics and proper commissioning are aiming to achieve.

Low flow temperatures. Open-loop design. Weather compensation. Real-world efficiency.

That’s how we like to install heat pumps. ♻️🔥

🎥 Another Heat Geek video is live – this time featuring Ross’ install!

Ross made the switch from an oil boiler to a Heat Geek Zero Disruption heat pump… and after the £9,000 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, he paid just £500 for the Plus package! 🤯🔥

Yep… oil boiler out ➡️ heat pump in for £500!

This is a great real-world example of just how accessible switching from oil to a properly designed heat pump can now be.

We loved being involved with this one alongside Heat Geek, and the video gives a great insight into Ross’ installation and the whole process.

If you’re currently heating your home with oil or LPG, it could be well worth seeing what a Heat Geek system would cost you.

Most people assume installing a heat pump means spending thousands ...

💧 Something a little different for us!

A 2” water meter fitted for a commercial client, allowing them to accurately monitor and keep track of their water usage across the site. This installation needs some work however, it seems the installer ran out of clips… 10 points if you can spot the way it’s been propped up!

Not every job is boilers, heat pumps & bathrooms! 😅

Another commercial job completed and another service we can offer to our customers across Cornwall & Devon. 🔧💧

🔥 Another Heat Geek Zero Disrupt heat pump commissioned & handed over this morning! 🔥

Another customer taking full advantage of the new £9000 boiler upgrade scheme grant which is now available for Oil & LPG customers! ✅

This one is a great example of why proper design comes before unnecessary upgrades.

🌡️ 39°C design flow temperature at -2°C outdoor temperature
💧 Open-loop system
♻️ Existing cylinder retained
🔥 ZERO radiator changes required

What makes this one particularly interesting is that the customer had previously been told by another company that they would need to replace the cylinder AND upgrade all of the radiators to have a heat pump fitted.

The Heat Geek Zero Disrupt approach proved otherwise.

By properly assessing the property, existing system and emitter outputs, we’ve been able to retain the cylinder, keep every existing radiator and design the system to run at just 39°C at -2°C outside.

And this is where Zero Disrupt really is in a league of its own — it’s not just about fitting a heat pump. The design and performance are backed by real-world data and the Heat Geek efficiency guarantee. 📊⚡

Less disruption. Less unnecessary work. Lower flow temperatures. Better efficiency.

Another one complete for JRD Plumbing & Heating Ltd ✅
