LTHHW & ASHP packageDesign it right. Size it properly. Get the efficiency.
A heat pump only performs as designed if the system around it runs at low flow temperatures. LTHHW covers the emitter sizing and system design that make the difference between a working installation and a complaint.
- LCL Awards Level 3 LTHHW qualification
- Developed with CIPHE and the Heat Pump Association
- Available bundled with air source heat pump training
Low temperature heating explained.
Designing systems around heat pumps? These answers explain what LTHHW covers and why it matters.
Low temperature heating and hot water in dwellings covers designing and sizing heating systems that run at lower flow temperatures, which is the condition heat pumps need to work efficiently. It covers emitter sizing, pipework and system design.
In practice, yes. A heat pump only delivers its rated efficiency if the heating system around it is designed for low flow temperatures, and MCS expects both competences.
The package deal covers air source and LTHHW together.

Experienced plumbing and heating engineers moving into low carbon work. It assumes existing knowledge of wet heating systems, so it suits installers upskilling rather than newcomers.

If you already hold an air source heat pump qualification, take the standalone LTHHW course at £475 + VAT. If you need both, the package at £950 + VAT is the more efficient route.
Booking them together means one block of time away from the tools rather than two, and the two subjects reinforce each other, since emitter sizing and flow temperature decisions are exactly what determines whether the heat pump performs as designed.
Most engineers going for MCS certification need both competences, so the package is the usual starting point.

Often, yes. A heat pump runs at lower flow temperatures than a boiler, so existing radiators sized for 70 to 80 degrees will not deliver enough heat output at 45 to 55 degrees.
Working out which emitters need upsizing, which can stay, and how pipework and system design affect the outcome is exactly what the LTHHW qualification covers. Getting it wrong is the most common reason a heat pump underperforms and the customer ends up disappointed with running costs.
The LTHHW course covers heat loss calculation, emitter sizing and system design for low flow temperature operation.
