Hi Roy , is this compatible with solar thermal
Thanks for the question John. We can offer Solar thermal compatible cylinders on special order. If you're interested, please contact our sales team at [email protected]
Hello Roy, is the iHP X available for other countries like Kenya. I have a client who needs one for his water heating needs. Thanks
Thanks for the question, unfortunately iHP X isn't available outside the UK just yet :)
Hi, I have a commercial project to replace two small 145l gas fired calorifiers. This looks like it would be a viable alternative without replacing flues, lowering our carbon footprint and hopefully supporting lowering energy. Have you two in tandem with single dhw secondary return?
Thanks for the question, it does sound like our iHP would be suitable for your project. For us to give a more accurate answer, can you please fill out this form and select "New sales enquiry" www.mixergy.co.uk/contact/. That goes straight to our sales team, they'll be in touch to find out more about your requirements and can advise further.
Why can't the hot pipe from the plate heat exchanger be at the top of the cylinder with the cold return to the plate heat exchanger? Then the cylinder will heat top down. There will still be a large heat differential between the flow (hot) to the cylinder and the return (cold). Then useful hot water is available at the taps quicker.
Hi John, many thanks for your question. The plate heat exchanger is positioned at the bottom of the cylinder and using full circulation to achieve the highest efficiency possible. For more information on how we work with heat pumps, check out this article >> mixergy.co.uk/news-and-insights/how-mixergy-cylinders-work-with-a-heat-pump/
Could you explain this concept of a “heat pump” on top of the cylinder? I am not familiar with this setup. To be fair, in a home equipped with smart meters you can use your in-house energy monitor to determine how much electricity and gas a regular boiler is using when heating. So I presume this would be the same with this Mixergy system.
Thanks for the question, an integrated pump cylinder means the heat pump is attached to the cylinder, heating the water for the home. Our iHP also has the same benefits as our other cylinders with smart tariff integration, smart controls and it uses machine learning to understand the needs of the home. Check out this more in-depth article on how integrated heat pump cylinders work, and why our iHP is different mixergy.co.uk/news-and-insights/introducing-mixergys-new-award-winning-heat-pump-cylinder-the-ihp/
@@mixergyltd6286 interesting thank you. I presume that somehow, you have to have a hole somewhere in a wall of the property to allow outside air intake?
That's right, a hole will need to be put in place to allow for the ducting to intake the outside air.
The monthly service charge puts me off buying one
Hi Chris, Mixergy doesn't require a monthly service charge to operate. We offer an optional Care Plan subscription, which makes it easier to maintain the warranty of the cylinder. For more information on our Care Plan, see here mixergy.co.uk/mixergy-tank/mixergy-care-plan/
What is the correct size and model for 5 bed flat in london ? Using electricity
Hi there, please get in touch with our team via our website, and they will be able to answer your question. Many thanks 🙂 mixergy.co.uk/contact/
had to watch the video muted, phew that music. lol. I would like to find out some more information regarding your tanks specifically the heating times to heat a full tank (300L) from cold to 45'C. With the aim of having a spontaneous bath of even hot tub (1000 L). Would it be be necessary to slowly fill a bath / hot tub to keep some heat in the tank . Or fully empty the tank then, fill cold and reheat. How much energy would be used in heating a full tank to 45'C from cold say 5'C?
Hi there, please can you get in touch with our team via this page on our website. We'll be able to answer your questions much earlier. Many thanks 🙂 mixergy.co.uk/contact/
Is there a mixergy stockist in Northern Ireland?
Hi Hugh, yes, you can source Mixergy at PTS www.ptsireland.co.uk/

That's really clear and useful thanks! Please can you do another one that explains how Solar PV divert to a Mixergy Tank works?
Yes, this will be a video coming soon!
What about your Cube X? Any updates or videos on that?
We'll be releasing some more information and videos about Cube X in the summer months@@grantmackinnon2197
Well done guys. I was wondering myself when someone would use AI to heat water.
Thanks Andrew!
Brilliant. 👏🏻
Thanks!
Great information well done 👍🏼
Thanks!
Excellent vid
Thanks Martyn!
Very good video - I like this new series of videos. They are clear and informative. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback Jeff, and glad you like them!
Inspiring and forward looking. If only there was more going on like this wonderful example of what can be done - today!
Thank you Jeff!
Great to see this video - really clear and useful. The question I would have is whether your advice on using PV power with the tank is valid when you have a heat pump, especially in the summer. We heat our 210 litre tank from about 20% to 75% daily, with the top of the tank reaching 44 degrees (and the heat pump running to about 50 degrees maximum flow temperature). The daily heating in the summer typically uses about 0.7 kWh of electricity - very efficient. I am certain that the immersion heater in the Mixergy would consume significantly more energy for the same water heating. We do get 11p / kWh from Octopus from our export, so the 'cost' to us of heating the tank is about 8p. If the Mixergy used 2 kWh of energy to heat the tank to the same level (my guess) it would cost us 2 * 11 = 22p in lost export. When we change tariff at the end of the year, the export rate will be rising to 19p / kWh, and so the cost would be more. We will be buying another Mixergy for our other property, and this will also have solar panels and a heat pump. I will be getting the embedded PV diverter, but I am not sure that I will ever use it. Any thoughts? (P.S. We do have a Tesla Powerwall at both properties).
Ideally, with a heat pump, heating the tank to 100% gets the most out of the Mixergy and the heat pump. With Mixergy using PV to heat the tank, the idea is that the house and all other devices (including batteries) are satisfied first, and then the excess can be used for heating your water (Mixergy). In theory, the immersion does use more electricity to heat up, but when using the immersion on PV you can set specific percentages and specific temperatures and also, it does not use power from the Grid, it is free generated power. This means during the summer, you could heat only 30% of the tank for free rather than the higher charge percentages required when using a Heat Pump and sell the excess if required. If the property has a lot of reliance on electricity, i.e. Batteries, EV chargers, large appliances like hot tubs, pools, electric storage heaters etc. then it may be that there is very rarely any excess solar power available to heat the Mixergy. And then, you must consider the size of the Solar array. It's all about finding the balance that suits each property, everyone has different requirements.
@@mixergyltd6286 Thanks very much for the detailed reply. I think you make good points, and we feel that the flexibility that the Mixergy gives in terms of heat source and controls means that it will cope with the different changes in energy price levels and individual requirements, and the changing needs during the year, mean that Mixergy is just perfect. At the moment we might not use our PV diverter but who knows next year?
We have had a Mixergy tank for two years now, connected to our heat pump. We heat to 75% once per day at around 1 pm when I think the heat pump will be most efficient. The 120 litre tank is enough for us to do all we need in terms of washing up and a daily bath. Our electricity use for the heat pump varies between 0.7 kWh in summer to 1.8 kWh in winter - amazingly efficient. We love the way it can be easily and quickly heated when our circumstances are unusual - such as when we have grandchildren to stay. It is a brilliant piece of technology and so simple to use.
Great to hear Jeff, and thank you!
I'm considering replacing the existing combi boiler with an ASHP + Mixergy tank. would I need also a buffer tank for the ASHP to operate efficiently or does the Mixergy tank also act as a buffer tank ? thanks
Thanks for the question, to help us advise you better, please email our team at [email protected] with your intended set up.
I have a large 4 bedroom house, in summer the loft gets very warm. If I put the intake vent at the top of my loftspace and the cold outlet at the bottom, would this save me even more by using this free heat energy? Would this also work in winter?
Please drop us an email with any questions you may have - [email protected]
This will be the final piece in my removing gas from my home. Hoping to hear when it’s available to install and finding a competent installer in south Devon.
Please send us an email, we can share updates with you on this - [email protected]
Do you know what the COP is in winter if drawing air from the outside?
Hey Noah, it depends on the set-up of the ducting, including bends and lengths. Check out this FAQ in our Support Hub, which has our COP calculator support.mixergy.co.uk/ihp-faq
Would be good to know: 1) Sound emissions when running 2) If existing gas boiler can supply back up if needed? 3) Any ducting requirements for airing cupboards in homes?
We have technical information and specs that we can share. Drop us an email for more info - [email protected]
When will a spec sheet be out. Particularly interested in running noise levels, capacities and recharge times versus your “traditional” cylinders
Please send us an email, and we can provide this information [email protected]
Did you get a data sheet? cant find anything online.
@@69sauly please drop us an email and we can send you a copy!
50dba according to their spec sheet. Their spec sheet also states they are using refrigerant R134a which, was banned in car AC & commercial systems a few years ago. Seems an odd choice of refrigerant. Nevertheless I'm still interested in one.
Production models use a different refrigerant.
Revolutionary!
Thanks!
A fantastic piece of equipment
Thanks!
I have a traditional underfloor heating system? We have underfloor heating on the ground and first floor and radiators on the second floor can a Mixergy Hot Water Tank work with it?

Thank you Edward 🙂
Great video - thanks. Interesting product and co-existance with a heat pump. Great tech.
Thanks John!!
Small world - I've seen you comment on Twitter on EV Puzzle. I'm looking at a Mixergy tank for a new-build PassivHaus, trying to compare this to Mitsubishi ASHP and pre-plumbed hot water cylinder.... difficult to know pros/cons of the different systems
@@SimonApperley it is tricky to find the information and performance data. Would you really need heating in a PassiveHaus though? energysavingtrust.org.uk/passivhaus-what-you-need-know/
@@johntisbury apparently yes, according to the specs a peak of 6Kw, though that is presumably in winter with limited solar gain
