Frequently Asked Questions

What kW size heat pump do I need for a 110 m² (1184 sq ft) house?

For a 110 m² (1184 sq ft) building with Standard Double-Glazed Insulation (55 W/m² Base) in UK & Temperate Maritime (-5°C Design, UK/IE/NZ), the peak space heating load is 5.74 kW (52.2 W/m²). Including domestic hot water allowance, a 6.3 kW (21,496 BTU/h / 1.79 Ton) heat pump is recommended.

How many kWh of electricity does a 6.3 kW heat pump use per year?

With a Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP) of 4.1 over 1800 full-load equivalent heating hours, the heat pump consumes approximately 2,520 kWh of electricity per year to deliver 10,332 kWh of heat — saving 7,812 kWh/year compared to direct electric radiators.
