Not only is it one of the widest ranges on the market, with monobloc, split and high- temperature models ranging from 4.3kW to 24kW units, but this can be extended by cascading the units to meet higher capacity applications. This range and flexibility enables the systems to be used in New Build, retrofit and commercial applications, and also meet all European accredited standards. With a standard controller across all Yutaki models and in combination with the Hi Kumo mobile app and Hi Kumo Pro remote maintenance platform, ease of installation, commissioning and operation are central to the design of Hitachi’s heating range.

RHI applications deadline extended “Following the disappointing closure of the Green Homes Grant Scheme in March, we are pleased to see a relaxation of the RHI Regulations around accreditation applications e ective from 1st April this year in response to delays caused by the Covid pandemic. All Hitachi heat pumps are MCS accredited and installations can be used to claim RHI payments to ensure a payback against replacing fossil- fuelled systems. “This, along with the introduction of the Future Homes Standard and proposed Clean Heat Grant scheme are all welcome and positive moves to encourage the uptake of renewable heating technologies,” commented Kevin Lucas, National Sales Manager, Heating .
