A magnetic filter was installed to ensure any future debris is effectively collected and removed from the system.
Our engineers also replaced 3 radiators with compact high efficiency radiators, along with the award winning Daikin Madoka controller, this sleek yet compact controller allows you to easily and effectively control your heat pump from your phone. In fact setting and finetuning your controller is simple and helps you attain higher energy savings and more comfort. The system can host up to three different temperature schedules, and enables you to restrict menu functions individually. You can also set your outdoor unit to a quiet mode and track the energy consumption.
Our customer was then issued with an NICEIC Electrical Installation Certificate, and the system was registered for building regulations. The heat pump was also registered for its manufactures warranty.
Our customer is now delighted with their highly efficient and reliable new heating system.
