When it comes to low-temperature heating systems like those powered by heat pumps, much of the conversation revolves around the heat pump itself. But there’s a critical component of the system that often goes under-appreciated: the heat emitters.
In this episode of Homeowners’ Q&A, we explore the pivotal role that radiators and underfloor heating play in these systems. With insights from industry experts like Sune Nightingale (Firepower), Rob Nezard (UK Radiators), and Rob Stevens (heat pump expert and consultant), we delve into why quality radiators are essential for efficiency, comfort and cost-effectiveness.
The discussion also highlights practical advice for homeowners – how to assess whether your current radiators are compatible with a heat pump, the impact of pipe sizing on performance and the difference between K2 and K3 radiators. Whether you’re retrofitting or planning a new build, this episode offers invaluable guidance for optimising your low-temperature heating system.
