Why dont Kensa heat pumps need supplementary electric heaters, as is used on other heat pumps?
Heat pumps should always be sized to meet 100% of the space heating load required by Building Regulations. Other heat pump brands are not as easy to assemble as Kensa heat pumps, so are often too expensive to allow a large enough heat pump to be afforded. To try to get around this shortcoming, some salesmen may try to part-size the heat pump, and offer the balance of heat from direct electric heating. This will give much higher energy bills, and emit a lot more pollution and carbon – pretty obvious really! You don\’t expect your car to have an engine sized at 80% of the required size -so why should your building be any different…….
