Frequently asked questions

The Tyneham range of air source heat pumps have noise levels as low as 64 dB(A).

The coefficient of performance (COP) refers to the efficiency of a heat pump and directly relates to the energy output from a heat pump. It is the ratio of heat produced, relative to each unit of electricity consumed in the heat pump.

The seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) is the average COP carried over the annual heating season (the full year).

Yes, Tyneham heat pumps can be up to 494% efficient. (A7/W35)

Yes, as long as heat pumps are sized correctly, they will work well with radiators.

Yes, a heat pump will work with different emitters like underfloor heating or fan coils. To see how this works, read our Cambridge Primary School case study HERE

Yes, Tyneham heat pumps can be integrated with most renewable energy sources such as PV.

Heat pumps traditionally cost almost the same as gas boilers but should be significantly cheaper to run in comparison to oil, LPG or direct electric boilers.

As long as the heating system has been designed correctly, Tyneham heat pumps can be fitted into most types of property including new build, refurbishment and retrofit and have a wide range of commercial and industrial applications.

Yes, Tyneham heat pumps can operate in temperatures as low as -20°C.

Yes, all Tyneham heat pumps come with a 2-year warranty (extended to 5 years if commissioned by Hamworthy Heating). For more information on warranties visit HERE.

A buffer tank is typically an insulated vessel of water; it doesn’t usually contain any coils or heat exchangers; most will have top and bottom connections, and some will have a baffle plate internally.
