Kieran McCarthy: What to keep in mind when installing a heat pump

Building engineer Kieran McCarthy explains your options for heat pumps in a new home

"Heat pumps are great in that they are a very efficient source of heat with electricity being the only fuel input, but the downside is that they run at quite a low running temperature compared to a gas- or oil-fired system."

Hi Kieran, I am just starting my self-build in Newbridge, do you need an MVHR (mechanical ventilation heat recovery) with a heat pump or is it a personal preference?

Thank you,
