Why Underfloor Heating & Heat Pumps Are the Perfect Pair

Consistent Low-Temperature Heating

Air source heat pumps operate most efficiently at lower flow temperatures (typically between 35–45°C) compared to traditional boilers. Underfloor heating systems are designed to operate at these lower temperatures, spreading warmth gently and evenly throughout your property.

This synergy means:

  • No energy is wasted trying to produce excessive heat
  • The system can operate more efficiently all year round
  • You’ll enjoy a more comfortable and consistent indoor climate

The Key Benefits of Combining Heat Pumps with Underfloor Heating

  • Lower Energy Bills

    With underfloor heating requiring less energy input, your heat pump doesn’t need to work as hard, reducing electricity consumption and keeping monthly bills in check.

  • Greater Comfort

    Underfloor systems distribute heat evenly from the ground up, eliminating cold spots often associated with radiators. This makes every room in your home feel more comfortable, no matter the season.

  • Cleaner Design & More Space

    Say goodbye to bulky radiators. Underfloor heating is completely hidden, giving you more freedom to design your space and furnish your home.

  • Environmentally Friendly

    Pairing two low-carbon heating technologies helps you reduce your home’s environmental footprint and futureproof your property against rising fuel costs.
