The most popular heat pump in the UK is a monobloc air source heat pump, which sits outside your home and connects to your homes central heating pipework to heat your radiators.<\/p>\n<p>Just like a fridge, a heat pump uses electricity to run a compressor which will compress gas that has been heated by the outside temperature to higher temperatures, before transferring the heat to your radiators. This is what results in the 300% efficiency, or commonly known as coefficient of performance (CoP) of 3.0.<\/p>\n<p>Because of this, heat pumps are growing in popularity as they significantly reduce the costs of heating a home with electricity compared to traditional electric heating.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n        \n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t<div

when a certain amount of generation\/export has been detected.<\/p>\n<p>You can do this so that the hot water tank (immersion heater) will heat when generation is low (for example less than 2kW) and then once higher generation is available (in this case above 2kW) you can have eddi activate the heat pump in domestic hot water, so you know you are covering all, or a large majority, of the heat pumps power requirements and getting more from your PV generation.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div

eddi?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">With SG-Ready heat pumps you can utilise the in-built hot water timer to control your hot water schedule, as well as to set a desired hot water temperature. In the heat pump controller, you have the ability to set the PV offset which eddi can enable. We recommend setting this to 75\u00b0C only if a suitable blending valve is available to prevent scolding risk. If you are unsure if a blending valve has been fitted, instead use 60\u00b0C and consult a competent heating engineer to confirm a blending valve has been fitted before increasing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">With this configuration the heat pump can be used to provide an initial charge overnight to a minimum temperature, ensuring that when surplus is available the tank can be charged to a higher temperature, using solar or wind electricity generation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>We recommend fitting a PT1000 sensor to your hot water tank for improved visibility of the tank temperatures within eddi and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/app-energy-monitor\/\">myenergi app. <\/a><\/em><\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div id='block-simple-content-block_c6b63f307061b6fa8cf2a9c762d41dd7'  class='flexi-block simple-content-block pt-8 lg:pt-16 pb-8 lg:pb-16 '>\n\n    <div class=\"container mx-auto wide-container\">\n\n        <div class=\"content-inner bg-white rounded-2.5xl \">\n\n            <div class=\"mx-auto first-mt-0 last-mb-0 max-w-[90%] xl:max-w-[990px]  \">\n\n                <h3 style=\"text-align: center\">How do I install an eddi?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;text-align: center\">For this installation you will only need to utilise one of the relays on the relay board that will be connected to the SG-Ready \u201cSwitch On Recommendation\u201d or PV Ready connection for activation of hot water boost mode for solar PV.
