The ideal heating partnership: heat pump water heater for underfloor heating
Heat pumps and water underfloor heating are perfectly matched heating technologies. While radiators require high water temperatures (60-70°C) that reduce heat pump efficiency, underfloor heating operates optimally at the lower temperatures (35-45°C) that heat pumps deliver most efficiently.
This perfect temperature match means your heat pump works less hard, consumes less electricity, and delivers better performance whilst your underfloor heating provides superior comfort compared to traditional radiator systems.

Air Source Heat Pump Underfloor Heating and Hot Water
Modern air source heat pumps can efficiently provide both underfloor heating and domestic hot water. Our integrated systems ensure optimal performance for both functions:
Heating Priority Systems: Intelligent controls prioritise heating or hot water production based on demand and external temperatures.
Hot Water Cylinder Integration: High-efficiency cylinders work perfectly with heat pump water heater for underfloor heating systems.
Smart Controls: Advanced control systems optimise the balance between heating and hot water production for maximum efficiency.
Performance and Efficiency
Exceptional performance from heat pump UFH integration
Coefficient of Performance (COP):
- Air source heat pumps with UFH typically achieve COP 3-4
- This means 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity consumed
- Significantly more efficient than direct electric heating
Seasonal Performance Factor (SPF):
- Whole-system efficiency including all components
- Well-designed systems achieve SPF 3+ throughout heating season
- Represents real-world efficiency in UK conditions
Running Cost Examples:
- Typical 4-bedroom house: £800-£1,200 annual heating costs
- Comparable gas system: £1,200-£1,800 annual costs
- Electric radiator system: £2,400-£3,600 annual costs
System Monitoring and Optimisation
Smart Controls: Advanced control systems continuously optimise performance based on weather conditions, occupancy patterns, and energy prices.
Performance Monitoring: Regular monitoring ensures your system maintains peak efficiency throughout its lifespan.
Seasonal Adjustments: We provide ongoing support to optimise system performance as weather patterns change.

FAQ
Heat Pump UFH Integration Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do heat pumps work efficiently in cold weather?
A: Modern air source heat pumps work efficiently down to -20°C. Combined with UFH’s thermal mass, they provide consistent comfort even during cold snaps.
Q: How long do heat pump UFH systems last?
A: Heat pumps typically last 15-20 years, whilst UFH systems last 25-50 years. This makes the combination an excellent long-term investment.
Q: Will a heat pump provide enough hot water as well as heating?
A: Yes, modern heat pumps easily provide both heating and hot water. We size systems appropriately and integrate high-efficiency cylinders for optimal performance.
Q: Can I keep my existing radiators in some rooms?
A: Yes, hybrid systems work perfectly. UFH for main living areas combined with radiators for bedrooms or bathrooms offers flexibility and optimal comfort.
Q: What maintenance do heat pump UFH systems require?
A: Annual servicing maintains optimal performance. UFH systems require minimal maintenance, whilst heat pumps benefit from regular filter cleaning and professional annual checks.
