FAQ

What are the benefits of low temp heating?

  • Slower corrosion rates
  • Less O2 released to attack metals
  • Less Thermal Shock to the system and components
  • Better on the expansion vessel as the membrane is kept cooler
  • Reduces cavitation at pump and fittings
  • Less noise/ creaking in the system
  • Increased comfort through reduced heat gradient in the room
  • Increased comfort through steady emitter output
  • Safer
  • Cleaner Air within the house
  • Less loss through pipes in unheated areas
  • higher comfort at lower room temperatures

What is weather compensation?

The first thing to understand is that weather compensation is a more gentle approach that’s proactive. It alters the radiator output before the house drops in temperature, therefore not needing a higher temperature to ‘catch up’ with property heat loss.

The benefits of weather compensation over room compensation are that room temperatures are based on heat loss rather than one area, which may not reflect the rest of the property’s needs, less wear on the appliance, longer appliance run times, no knee-jerking and the lowest possible flow temperatures from the appliance and there for the maximum efficiency from condensing or COP.

Why have underfloor?

The advantages of underfloor heating include consistent heat distribution, energy efficiency, comfortable heating experience, space optimisation, design flexibility, and reduced dust circulation.

Why have an air source heat pump?

Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) represent a sustainable and cost-effective solution for year-round comfort. Extracting ambient air heat, even in cold weather, ASHPs deliver 3-4 times the efficiency of gas boilers, significantly reducing energy costs.

  • Environmentally friendly
  • Low maintenance
  • Efficient models
  • Eligible for various grants
  • Safer than combustion boilers
  • Long lifespan
  • Minimal noise
