Retrofit Mitsubishi Ecodan Heat Pump in a renovated home 

Hi Mike, No extra insulation required, email us at info@dorewoodman.co.uk with the details of what you are looking to get done r.e ufh and we can help you with extra information on the routed pipework. Many thanks, Jason Dore Woodman Ltd

We have linked the Ecodan with the WiFi interface and MELCloud app, with the 1st and 2nd floor on radiators we installed the mitsubishi controller to work with the app to enable control remotely if required. With the underfloor heating we had 3 zones to control and as this is set up slightly differently and with the options presented to the client the Heatmiser control was added. We also installed the NeoHub to allow further remote access via a mobile/tablet at the clients request. I hope that helps.

@@dorewoodman Thanks you for your response on the stats. Can I ask 2 more questions please... 1. After studying the FTC menu options, it appears that the DHW cannot be scheduled with ‘On’ ‘Off’ times. Octopus have a £0.05 kWh, 4 hour night period and would seem sensible to undertake DHW heating during this period using the pump (up to 50C) and then use the legionella function to raise this still further to 65 - 70C thereby giving plenty of hot water for the following day? Doing this could reduce the size of hot water cylinder required, Could you install a third party timer to operate the DHW pump or the MV? 2. Do you restrict your ASHP installations just to the south east? Many thanks Mike

@@MichaelSmith-fx2ci There are timing schedules that can be set either on the FTC controller and/or from the MELCloud app to enable you to integrate a program to suit your tariffs and we would certainly encourage implementing that to suit. As for the time period to produce the hot water, of course that will be determined by the amount of hot water you have, the temperature at the time of recharging and the period of time set aside for recharge. For example, you have an 8.5kw Ecodan with a 210 litre cylinder, the target temperature for hot water is set to 50 degrees and by the time the heat pump comes on from the program schedule the cylinder temperature has dropped to 30 degrees the recharge is only approx 35 to 40 minutes, so whether the program is on for 1 hour or 4 hours it will only charge for the period required until it reaches temperature. As for the legionella cycle, if you set that up to the max which is 65 degrees but you are do that very regularly to get use from the solar pv, that temperature is extremely hot so caution is advised. Safety measures such as Thermostatic Mixing Valves should be installed for each bathroom to protect against scolding and it could cause Thermostatic Shower Valves anti scold components to activate and you will then need to change the valves over. I would just err on the side of caution and consider what you require and when and set up a schedule to suit. In answer to your question for area served, yes we only currently operate in the South East, where are you based Michael?

@@dorewoodman Hi Jason, many thanks for the very comprehensive response. I will take another look at the timing scheduling options. I actually live in Shropshire so sounds like I will have to source a local installer. What you’ve told me in your responses and info in your other video presentations, really sends out a positive professional image of your company. I wish you and your company all the very best for the future.

@@MichaelSmith-fx2ci thank you for your kind words. I hope that you manage to find a reputable company that will cater to your needs and advise accordingly. Good luck and all the best to you.
