Heat pumps
Renewable energy solutions for sustainable buildings using natural sources such as air, ground and water to provide heating, cooling and hot water.
Heat pumps are the perfect partner for heating and cooling systems designed to work at lower water temperatures, helping to support the design and construction of more energy-efficient buildings.
What do heat pumps mean for you?
All in one soluton
Heat pumps can be used to both heat a home or building as well as provide hot water.
Environmentally friendly solution.
No carbon dioxide output helping to reduce carbon footprint of your home.
Saving money on energy bills
Being more efficient than traditional sources, heat pumps consume less energy overall.
High output low noise
Heat pumps are a clean and quiet way to heat and cool your home.
Types of heat pumps
Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
For new residential dwellings, monobloc and split system heat pumps are ideal solutions for efficient hot water generation and space heating.
Hot Water Heat Pumps (HWHPs)
A low-carbon technology for heating hot water, designed to be installed within a building.
Featured product
Edel
Our Edel RF Hot Water Heat Pump (HWHP) is a low carbon technology for heating hot water. This heat pump can create hot water up to 60°C, is high performance with low operational noise and is suitable for installation within service cupboards, garages and utility rooms.
Ambient loops
This system uses a network of water heat pumps connected to an ambient loop and can improve the energy performance of a building.
Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs)
ideal for projects where early consideration can be given to groundworks and infrastructure.
Water Source Heat Pumps (WSHPs)
This variation is best suited to developments that are located near a large body of water.
We offer a wide range of CPD UK and CIBSE accredited CPDs covering different aspects of the design and specification of heat pumps. All CPDs can be delivered online or in person.

How does the Zeroth Energy System address domestic hot water demand and reduce primary energy use in apartments?
Domestic hot water (DHW) is typically the dominant energy load in modern, well insulated buildings. Ambient loops, such as the Zeroth Energy System can significantly reduce the annual CO2 emissions and primary energy use of large residential properties in two ways:
Balancing the DHW demand and output
Heating water to the required temperature at the point of use
We will consider how the technology achieves these reductions and what the impact is on modern developments.
How do ambient networks that use in-apartment heat pumps work?
Ambient networks typically consist of in-apartment water-to-water heat pumps connected via a central loop to a central plant. Each heat pump uses ambient water from the central loop to provide heating, hot water and even cooling into the apartment. For domestic hot water use, the heated water is stored in an unvented, integrated cylinder that sits below the heat pump module in the apartment, whilst the heating circuit could use emitters such as radiators, fan coils or underfloor arrays.
How do I know what capacity fan coil I need?
Working out what capacity fan coil unit you need requires a lot of factors to be taken into consideration from the outset of a project, including solar gains. These include building orientation, geographical location, envelope construction materials and infiltration alongside internal gains such as lighting, equipment and occupancy. These will have to be considered with any potential plans to install solar shading, as they all have an impact on the predicted performance of a building.
