# UK's first unified home energy system achieves SCOP rating of 5!

 

Today marks a year since my own home energy system achieved a SCOP (Seasonal Coefficient of Performance) rating of 5 which is considered exceptional. For context, the average SCOP rating according to Open Energy Monitor is currently 3.7 which is good. While many will measure COP over a small period of time the true measurement of SCOP can only be measured over a full year. 

We are delighted to announce that not only is it Scotland's first PV-T system with a battery, creating a multi-source heating system, but it is now the UK's first heating system to achieve a SCOP rating of 5 for a whole year! It is also featured as number one on the independent [Open Energy Monitor ](https://heatpumpmonitor.org/)website, a site that compares anonymous live data from real-world heat pump installations.

My original 12-year-old heat pump had a rating of 2.5 which was very poor. It was badly designed, had several flaws, and was badly commissioned consequently my energy bills that first November were about £1k. After fitting what is Scotland’s first PV-T system with a battery, and creating a multi-source heating system, my bills the following November were only £150.

I wanted to take this opportunity to say congratulations to @Damon_BPHR  owner of Blakemore Plumbing and Heating, for being the first air source to have achieved a SCOP of 5.0 with space heating and DHW combined!  A brilliant achievement.

I would also like to credit @TrystanLea and @glynhudson for creating the Heat Pump Monitoring Data Comparison [website](https://heatpumpmonitor.org/), a site that compares anonymous live data from real-world heat pump installations. 

Finally, I want to applaud those engineers who have installed a COP-5-rating heating system and invite you to join the 50 Club!
