Works with your existing system

You don't need to rip out your current heating. A heat pump connects to what you already have.

  • Radiators work fine with a heat pump. Some may need upsizing. We check every one during the survey.
  • Underfloor heating is the ideal pairing. UFH runs at low temperatures naturally.
  • Hot water cylinder included with every installation. Heated by the same system.
