    Hi I am building a new house and am looking for a plumber with good knowledge of air to water systems.
    I have a fair idea of what I want but am getting very mixed advice from who I've spoken to so far on how to go about it.

    One recommends heating a buffer tank during the day when cop is higher.
    Another says to connect directly into the heating system and run on night rate electricity.

    Out of ideas bar flicking through the yellow pages.

    Has anyone had a system installed recently that they are happy with and can recommend heat pump/installer??

    Sorry if this is a repeat thread

    Thanks

    I wont pick a side, but if you go on the night rate electricity then your day unit rate is higher which will cancel out the savings in many homes.

    I would recommend they look at a combination of Solar PV with the air to water heat pump.

    Thanks,

    I was thinking against the night rate alright.
    Hadn't thought of solar pv, great idea.
    Ill look into that.

    Thanks a lot

    You could contact Unipipe Ireland, They supply NIBE heat pumps and would size a discuss your options and solutions. They would also have a list of approved installers in your area. I can PM there number to you if you wish!
