Underfloor and Radiant Heating
Central heating is a method of whole-home heating in which warm water circulates through a closed network of pipes, carrying heat around the home. These pipes can lead to radiators or they can be laid in the floor for underfloor heating. It is not uncommon to have a combination both radiators and underfloor heating.
Over many years, central heating has developed into an efficient, effective and sophisticated heating system that provides optimal levels of comfort for you and your family. It is the most adaptable heating solution that can be tailored to suit your needs and your lifestyle.
A heat pump can cool a room as well as heat it, allowing you to use it as an air conditioner.
The most important thing when choosing a heat pump is getting one that's the right size for the area/room you're heating. A model with insufficient heat output (kW) won’t keep your home at a desired temperature without working too hard and using too much power. However, an oversized unit costs more than you need to spend, and will reach the set temperature quickly so will be constantly turning on and off, which increases wear and tear.
We can help you work out which is the best and most economical heat pump solution for you.
