Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Westgate-On-Sea
3 Panasonic 5KW Air Source Heat Pumps, 3 x 160 Litre Pre Plumbed e.CYL Cylinders,5 0L Integrated Buffer Tank
The brief...
At Wilsons, we had the pleasure of installing 3 Panasonic 5KW Air Source Heat Pumps in a property located in Suffolk. The job also included 3 x 160 Litre Pre Plumbed e.CYL Heat Pump Cylinders, each with a 50L integrated Buffer Tank. Here’s a breakdown of what we did…

Installed components:

3 x Panasonic 5KW ASHPs
These units provide efficient heating by extracting heat from the outside air, even in colder temperatures. They’re a great eco-friendly solution for year-round comfort.

3 x 160 Litre Pre Plumbed e.CYL
These cylinders store hot water produced by the heat pumps, ensuring the property has a reliable supply of hot water whenever needed.

50L Integrated Buffer Tanks
These buffer tanks ensure optimal performance and efficiency by maintaining a consistent temperature and preventing system fluctuations.
Heat pump installation
- Site Survey & Preparation:
We first conducted a thorough site survey to determine the best locations for the heat pumps and cylinders. This ensures optimal performance and easy access for maintenance.
- Heat Pump Installation:
The Panasonic air source heat pumps were installed outside the property, connected to the property’s heating system. We ensured proper insulation and positioning to avoid any interference with the environment.


Tank set up & testing
- Cylinder & Buffer Tank Setup:
Inside, we installed the e.CYL heat pump cylinders and integrated buffer tanks. These units were connected to the heat pumps and the property’s heating and hot water system. The pre-plumbed design meant the setup was quick and efficient.
- System Testing & Calibration:
After installation, we thoroughly tested the system. We calibrated the pumps and cylinders to ensure the entire setup was working at peak efficiency, delivering both heating and hot water as expected.
