    Hello I am in the middle of trying to decide what heat pump to install in a new build. Several I have looked at will not comply with Part L and mean I would have to install PV or Solar which I will not do.
    Apparently the big issue in my case is the heating of the hot water to a lever that kills legionella.

    I understand the Daiken will do this , but I have just read up on the new Dimplex A Class heat pump 8 KW. It will do it also. The reason I'm tempted to go with the dimplex, is, it is made in Ireland and it seems to have been designed for our weather. It seems well designed and not complex.

    Would anyone here on the forum have any comments or experience or even better a comment on running costs ? My house 210 sq m UFH and low temp rads

    Have you researched Nibe heat pumps ? I have nibe 1245 which had a few teething problems but the heat pump is very user friendly and very programable . My heat pump once a month heats the hot water to over 65 degrees to prevent legionnaires disease.

    I know someone who is doing a build currently and is using a Ochsner heat pump, he said its expensive but he is getting compliance using that solely. He has no chimneys etc, just the heat pump. His one has the VHS-M HORZONTAL SPLIT EVAPORATOR its meant to be the most efficent option in their range.

    Similar enough to me I guess, no one in the Galway area seems to have Dimplex heat pump although they claim to have installed 300 plus last year.
    Still looking for anyone with an A class Dimplex air to water ?
