Just had a beer with a mate who bought a new house in Poland 2 years ago. All houses on the development have heat pumps. All run at scops of over 4 with design temps of below -10. No one talks about any A2W problems. They just get it right. Why can’t we?

How far can you install a heat pump from a house? As far as you want - this one is 20 meters away from the plant room (15 away from the house) and still has more than enough flow. Proper design and calculations is the key.

@RichMWPHS @OctopusEnergy Couldn’t agree more @RichMWPHS ! We need more expensive and better quality installations with proper financing. This stuff is and will be expensive to install. Anyone who thinks they can lower the cost of heat pump installations simply doesn’t understand the market or the tech.
