Heating, Radiators & Heat Pumps

Cold rooms are rarely about power — they're about a system that's never been balanced. We measure, adjust, and show you the numbers.

Background

Why we do it this way

Nine in ten cold-room jobs have the right heat source and the wrong distribution. Balancing the system costs a fraction of a new heat pump and fixes it more often than people expect — we always start there.

What we do

Heat pump installation

Sized to your home's actual energy needs, not the catalog spec.

Balancing

Flow measurement and valve adjustment, room by room.

Radiator replacement

New radiators, valves and thermostats, correctly sized.

Service and troubleshooting

Annual servicing, plus diagnosing alarms and downtime.

Underfloor heating

Water-based, for bathrooms and new builds, with controls.

Measurement report

Flow and return temperatures before and after, in writing.

The process

From first call to finished job

Walkthrough

We measure the system and review your latest energy bill.

Proposal

Balancing, replacement, or a new heat source — with savings estimated.

Installation

By a licensed installer, with refrigerant reporting where required.

Follow-up

We return after a month to confirm it's doing what we promised.

Questions & answers

Frequently asked questions about heating & heat pumps

Almost always poor balancing — hot water overheats the nearest radiators and leaves the rest lukewarm. A room-by-room adjustment fixes it, for a fraction of a new heat pump.

Usually yes on direct electric or oil, especially with the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant — payback in five to eight years. With efficient gas heating already, the maths is weaker, and we'll say so.

Yes — every engineer on gas work is Gas Safe registered. Heat pump and electrical work is MCS-certified and NICEIC-registered.

Once a year — filters, flow, pressure, and a controls check. Skipping it costs efficiency, and most warranties require the service history.
