With the increasing demand for air source heat pumps (ASHPs), Baxi is helping new build developers complete their projects faster with the launch of the Baxi ASHP Pre-plumbed Cylinder.
Designed specifically to work with Baxi ASHPs, the Baxi ASHP Pre-plumbed Cylinder provides optimal heating and hot water performance while helping end-users save energy.
The cylinder helps speed up projects as much of the pipework, fittings and wiring is already in place, reducing installation time for appointed contractors on site.
Rob Pearse, Residential Business Director at Baxi, said: “Shorter install times can be a huge benefit to new build developers. With large-scale projects involving multiple dwellings, reducing installation time of components on site can ensure developments meet deadlines and homes can be delivered in line with demand. By front-loading much of the electrical and plumbing work offsite, we can support new build
projects with quicker and smoother integration of heat pumps.”
The new cylinder is available in capacities of 170 to 300 litres to meet the needs of a wide range of properties and also features a compact footprint, enabling installation into an airing cupboard or smaller space.
=Due to its extra-large coil specifically designed for use with heat pumps, the new Baxi ASHP Pre-plumbed Cylinder delivers faster heating times and increases the availability of hot water for users. The cylinder is also well-suited to larger homes with multiple bathrooms thanks to high flow rate of 76 L/min and its in-built back-up immersion heater.
The pre-plumbed cylinder is also equipped with Bluetooth connectivity so that engineers can wirelessly connect to the Baxi Commissioning Tool via the Baxi Start App. If used alongside the Baxi uSense 2 Smart Room Thermostat, the homeowner can access remote comfort control.
The intuitive integrated controller enables direct control of domestic hot water and central heating. With the addition of an optional accessory kit, heating can be controlled across 2 zones, enabling further savings on energy and bills.
Manufactured from “Duplex” stainless steel for superior quality and corrosion resistance, the tank comes with a two-year warranty as standard, with 10-years on the inner tank.
Rob continued: “The new build sector has an incredible opportunity to lead the way in low-temperature heating and hot water. We’ve created our new pre-plumbed cylinder to make sure that projects go smoothly and get completed faster. With our new Baxi ASHP Pre-plumbed Cylinder, housing providers and developers can be sure that residents will have the reliable heat and hot water they need.”
