ULTRA-QUIET OUTDOOR UNIT The outdoor unit needed to be quiet enough not to be heard due to its placement in close proximity to their neighbour’s bedroom. Fortunately, the Ecodan Hot Water Heat Pump operates discreetly with a sound pressure level as low as 45dBA*. HYDRONIC UNDERFLOOR HEATING WITH MULTIPLE ZONES During winter the large basement level would often be very cold and the chill would creep into the main upstairs living area. With an Ecodan Hot Water Heat Pump, the family can enjoy warm ambient air rising from the underfloor heating when working downstairs, hosting guests or doing laundry. And with a love for the ocean, water sport equipment and wetsuits can dry quickly in the garage without needing to air outside. THE SOLUTION FOUND IN A CONVENIENT PACKAGED SYSTEM An Ecodan Air-to-Water Heat Pump System with a packaged 200L cylinder was chosen to achieve an effective and efficient solution that delivers both hydronic underfloor heating for the ground level, as well as the home’s potable water heating, all from a single heat pump system. The chosen packaged system conveniently comes pre-plumbed and pre-wired. This solution incorporates a 200 litre water cylinder that provides improved performance and fast heat-up times through the use of the onboard Plate Heat Exchanger Technology. Not being able to install the new cylinder in the original upstairs hot water cupboard, the homeowners needed to utilise a storage cupboard in the basement, resulting in a tidy installation.

A WARM AND COSY GROUND FLOOR WITH LOW CARBON BENEFITS This Rothesay Bay family now enjoy the inviting warmth of the new ground floor area which has proven to be a real asset over the past year of lockdowns, using it as a comfortable home office when not in use as a rumpus room or entertainment area for the whole family. Now with reliable potable hot water supply to meet their washing and cooking needs, the owners also enjoy a passive heating effect into the upstairs living area from 16
