Underfloor Heating Integration with Heat Pump
Underfloor heating works best with a heat pump when the system is designed and set up for low-temperature heating. This service integrates or optimises wet underfloor heating so your heat pump can run efficiently, keep rooms at a steady temperature, and avoid common issues like uneven heat, noisy circulation, or frequent heat pump cycling.
More information
What this service covers
This service focuses on making wet underfloor heating and your heat pump work as one properly balanced system. Depending on whether you are installing new underfloor heating or improving an existing setup, work can include:
- System design checks, including heat loss, pipe spacing, and zoning
- Manifold supply and installation, with actuators and isolation as required
- Underfloor pipe circuit layout and connections to the manifold
- Pump and blending considerations (where applicable) to suit low flow temperatures
- Controls integration, including thermostats, wiring centres, and zone control
- Commissioning, flushing, filling, and inhibitor dosing
- System balancing and flow rate setting per circuit for even heat
- Fault-finding and repairs for leaks, blockages, air locks, or poor circulation
- Performance optimisation to reduce cycling and improve comfort
When this service is right for you
This is most relevant if you are fitting a heat pump and want underfloor heating that can deliver the required heat at lower flow temperatures. It is also a good fit if you already have underfloor heating but rooms warm up unevenly, some loops stay cool, or the heat pump seems to run inefficiently. Landlords and small commercial sites often choose this service to improve comfort while keeping running costs and callouts under control.
How integration and optimisation is delivered
Work usually starts with a review of your current heating layout and how the heat pump is controlled. If underfloor heating is being installed, the pipe circuits and manifold are planned to match the building’s heat demand and zones. If it is an existing system, the focus is on correcting circulation, control settings and hydraulic balance, then commissioning the system so each loop receives the right flow.
After commissioning: keeping performance consistent
Once the system is running, fine adjustments may be recommended to flow rates, thermostat schedules, and heat pump settings to maintain stable temperatures. You will also get clear guidance on how to run underfloor heating with a heat pump, including what to expect from warm-up times and how to avoid over-correcting with the controls.
