Nibe Fighter Exhaust Air Heat Pump

[tweakyboy]

Hi,

Any of you guys installed any of these units?

We've installed around 100+ of them, personally I think they are a very good unit. The only problem with them is the size and weight!

Cheers

i installed 4 in flats a couple of years ago you're right they are big and having to accomodate 5 inch ducting can be a pain but do like the way they work they like to eat electricity though. give me gas anyday

not impressed with them at all and I believe that they are not really fit for purpose

eating electricity is not what they are supposted to be about

With those big immersions in them I can not believe that these units are even on the MCS List under exhaust air heatpumps, having pulled them apart I am also not that impressde with the build quality of them.

I fitted one of these exhaust air units into my own house and I can only agree with the comment above. My house is at 21 degrees and this is being shown on a thermostat by the front door, so not the warmest place. I have a log burner just ticking over in the living room. The exhaust air heat pump has the fans on full so is using lots of power to produce just 38 degrees in the hot water tank, and this is a good performance from the heat pump as this is evening and the last heavy hot water use was 9 hours ago.
I would have been better putting a heat exchanger on the small log burner, the exhaust air heat pumps are a waste of energy.
