Yes, heat pumps work well with radiators, providing a relatively low flow temperature is used.
In many cases, existing radiators are large enough to allow a lower flow temperature, particularly if improvements are being made to the energy efficiency of the building. Many traditional heating systems are operated at a high flow temperature, but turn on and off regularly. A heat pump operating at a lower temperature but more continuously can be just as effective.
Alternatively, low-temperature radiators can be installed such as the Jaga Strada or Dimplex SmartRad. These can provide around 3 times as much heat output than a standard radiator of the same size, which allows a low flow temperature to be used. These radiators are fan-assisted, so a power supply is required.
Are you considering a water-source or ground-source heat pump project ?
Renewables First have considerable experience and full project capability, from initial feasibility study through to system design and installation.
The first step towards a water-source or ground-source heat pump project is tell us about your project. The best way of doing this is via our tailored online Enquiry Form.
Once complete, one of our engineers will evaluate the site potential before contacting you to discuss the next stage of your project.
