Heat pumps

What is a heat pump and how does it work?

A heat pump extracts heat from the air or ground outside and transfers it into your home using electricity. It works like a fridge in reverse and is highly efficient even in cold UK temperatures.

Are heat pumps suitable for UK homes?

Yes — especially well-insulated homes. Air source heat pumps are most common in the UK, and they work effectively in our climate year-round.

Will a heat pump save me money on energy bills?

Heat pumps can reduce your heating bills, especially if you're switching from oil, LPG, or direct electric systems. Savings depend on your current system, insulation levels, and energy usage.

Do heat pumps work with radiators or underfloor heating?

Yes — but they work best with low-temperature systems like underfloor heating. If you have radiators, you may need to upgrade to larger ones for maximum efficiency.

Are heat pumps noisy?

Modern heat pumps are very quiet. The outdoor unit produces a soft hum, similar to a fridge, and can be installed discreetly.

Underfloor Heating

Is underfloor heating better than radiators?

Underfloor heating provides more even warmth, frees up wall space, and is often more efficient when paired with a heat pump.

Can underfloor heating be retrofitted?

Yes — though it’s easier in new builds or renovations. We offer low-profile retrofit systems designed to work with existing floors.

How long does underfloor heating take to install?

It depends on the size and type of project. New builds may take a few days, while retrofits vary based on floor access and preparation.

What types of flooring work with underfloor heating?

Tile, stone, engineered wood, and some carpets work well. We’ll guide you on the best options during your consultation.

Is it expensive to run underfloor heating?

It’s highly efficient, especially with a heat pump. Because it runs at lower temperatures, it can cost less to operate than traditional systems.

Unico Systems

What is the Unico System?

It’s a small-duct, high-velocity heating and cooling system that uses compact, flexible ducts to distribute air evenly and quietly throughout your home.

Is Unico suitable for UK homes?

Yes — it’s ideal for period homes, listed properties, or homes with limited space for traditional ductwork.

Can Unico be used with a heat pump?

Absolutely. Unico pairs well with air-to-air heat pumps and can provide both heating and cooling.

Is Unico noisy?

No. Despite using high-velocity airflow, the system is engineered for quiet operation and uses sound-absorbing insulation.

Will I lose space with the Unico System?

Not at all. It’s designed to be space-saving and discreet — the small outlets and hidden ducts preserve your home's look and layout.
