At Senior Plumbing and Heating, our engineers are specialists in the installations of central heating pumps and we work with reputable pump suppliers such as Grundfos.
The circulation pumps we install work by pressurizing the water and delivering it around the system. The pumps have a water inlet and outlet. The diameter of the inlet and outlet determine the flow rate of the water. We install pumps with pressure dials so you have control over how high or how low the pressure of your central heating system is. Depending on your property (Commercial, apartment or House) and the number of radiators you have, our engineers can set the optimal pressure that can provide you with consistent hot water without overrunning your utility bills.
Installing a heat pump also takes no time at all and a homeowner can expect benefits such as:
This is a rotor pump and we mostly rely on Grundfos as their heating pumps are highly reliable and are a maintenance-free option. The pumps are of a canned rotor type and will heat up all the radiators, coils and cylinders. Installation of these pumps is generally easier and their simplicity in design allows for quick installation and upgrades. For improved circulation of heated water, the pump can vary its speed controls allowing for greater efficiency compared to other options. Grundfos 15/60 pumps go for 250 pounds plus V.A.T.
These are generally used for domestic hot water applications. Made out of bronze, these heating pumps will be of benefit to you if your taps, faucets etc. are a distance away from the heating cylinder and you notice you have to wait longer before you get any hot water. The bronze heating pumps, therefore, continuously pump the domestic hot water around the system and back to the domestic cylinder. These pumps go for £500
These are pumps designed for larger houses particularly those with three stories going up. Again we opt for Grundfos as their 8-meter heating pumps ensure optimal efficiency with minimal energy consumption. These pumps automatically adjust performance but some Grundfos Pumps such as the Alpha 3 come with a Bluetooth option called the GO Remote App. The pumps typically operate at a 10bar pressure as a larger house requires more pressure compared to the 9 bar pressure in the 6-meter heating pumps. They are also bigger and have a heavier motor. These pumps go for 500 Pounds plus VAT.
We have been installing hundreds of HomeBoost heat pumps this year and there is a clear reason why. They are one of the most reliable and cutting edge heat pumps on the market. It recognises when the pressure and flow of your water supply are low and will boost the incoming mains water. This can be done directly or indirectly through your combi boiler. It’s max output is 12 litres per minute.
Next, we connect the pump to the main water supply and refill the heating system. Again, we check for leaks or any signs of leakage as they can cause electric shock or future problems with the boiler.
