Heat Pump Installation in Broad Chalke, Wiltshire

We recently completed an air source heat pump installation in Broad Chalke, Wiltshire, helping a homeowner move away from fossil fuel heating and towards a more efficient, low-carbon alternative. The project involved a dual-unit Mitsubishi Ecodan setup, combining an 11.2kW and a 6kW unit to meet the full heating and hot water demands of the property.

About this Heat Pump Installation in Broad Chalke

Following a full site survey and heat loss assessment, we designed a system using two Mitsubishi Ecodan air source heat pumps working together to deliver the output required for this property. A dual-unit configuration of this kind is used where a single unit cannot meet the full demand on its own, ensuring the system performs reliably even during the coldest periods of the year.

Alongside the heat pumps, we installed a 300 litre high gain unvented hot water cylinder with a secondary return pump to provide fast, efficient hot water delivery throughout the home.

We carried out the following works as part of this heat pump installation in Broad Chalke:

• Supply and install an 11.2kW Mitsubishi Ecodan air source heat pump as the primary unit in the dual configuration
• Supply and install a 6kW Mitsubishi Ecodan air source heat pump as the secondary unit to meet peak demand
• Supply and install rubber feet for vibration isolation on both units
• Supply and install a 300 litre high gain unvented hot water cylinder to provide a generous stored hot water supply
• Supply and install a secondary return pump and timer to ensure hot water is available quickly at all draw-off points
• Supply and install a magnetic primary filter to protect the system and maintain efficiency over time
• Supply and install a 3-port diverter valve to manage flow between the heating and hot water circuits
• Supply and install all associated plumbing accessories to complete the system pipework
• Carry out second fix electrical installation of the heat pumps (first fix installation not included in this scope of works)
• Add inhibitor and biocide to protect the system internally
• Carry out full commissioning of the system and provide an MCS certificate

The completed system provides this Broad Chalke home with reliable, low-carbon heating and hot water throughout the year. Mitsubishi Ecodan heat pumps are designed to perform efficiently across a wide range of outdoor temperatures, making them well suited to rural Wiltshire properties where winter temperatures can be demanding.

This heat pump installation in Broad Chalke is a good example of how a carefully specified dual-unit system can meet the needs of a larger or more demanding property where a single unit would not be sufficient.

Why Choose the Mitsubishi Ecodan?

The Mitsubishi Ecodan is one of the most established and well-regarded air source heat pump ranges available in the UK. For this Broad Chalke installation, specifying Ecodan units gave us confidence in both performance and long-term reliability.
