A pivotal part of an air source heat pump installation is the customer handover. This procedure involves the installing engineer showing their customer how their new heat pump works and demonstrating the parts of the system an end-user needs to understand in order to achieve and maintain the desired comfort levels with their heating and hot water. To support this key stage, Grant UK has developed a Handover Guide for their Aerona³ air source heat pumps which will be supplied with each unit alongside the installation manual and will support the installer onsite with their handover processes.

With sustainability and good quality high on the agenda for this new development, making the right specification choices was very important to the developer. Andy Denton, director of Marshgate Properties commented: ‘Selecting sustainable energy options is high on our list of important aspects for the homes we build. We had already installed Panasonic Aquarea Heat Pumps on a previous project a year earlier and have been impressed with the units and their performance. This, together with UK Alternative Energy’s professional approach and proficient installation team, has proven successful for the heating and hot water provision for this latest project.’With the new development’s rural location, mains gas was not an option as an energy source. Marshgate Properties has chosen to continue specifying the Panasonic Aquarea range of renewable air source heat pumps, making the move away from fossil fuels, and to help reduce the carbon footprint of each property, as well as providing on-going efficiencies for residents.
