What Are The Benefits Of Underfloor Heating?
Installer Show 2023 - NEC, Birmingham
With 2023 well underway, we’re preparing for our fourth year at the InstallerSHOW. As the UK transitions away from traditional gas boilers and moves towards a sustainable future, more and more heating engineers are looking to pivot into the growing heat pump market. Our aim for the InstallerSHOW is to reach plumbers, gas engineers and heating installers who would like to expand their service offering, and show them how easy it is to offer an MCS accredited heat pump installation, using our MCS Umbrella Scheme.
Recap of 2022 & Outlook for 2023
2023 has started in exactly the same manner as 2022 finished – absolutely manic. Demand for heat pumps and our services has never been higher, meaning that as a business we’re undergoing quite the transformation. As we recap on the achievements of last year, we also look ahead to the opportunities that the coming year presents us with.
Can Anti-Freeze Valves Replace Glycol in a Heat Pump System?
Anti-freeze valves and glycol are two different components that serve similar purposes in a heat pump system. Glycol is a type of anti-freeze that is commonly used in heat pump systems to prevent the water in the system from freezing in cold weather. Glycol is specifically designed to lower the freezing point of water, which is necessary to prevent damage to the system in cold conditions. Anti-freeze valves, on the other hand, are designed to automatically open and drain out the water within the system when the water drops below a certain temperature.
Alto Energy Office Hours During Christmas 2022
With 2022 wrapping up, we thought it would be a good time to recap how our year has been. The last 12 months have been a blur with everything moving at lightning speed. We’ve partnered with a record number of heat pump installers and have expanded our team significantly to keep up with heat pump demand. This year alone, our team has grown by 62% and doesn’t show signs of slowing.
SETTING YOUR SAMSUNG Gen6 HEAT PUMP TO RUN ON THE BACK UP IMMERSION HEATER
In the rare event that your Samsung Gen6 stops working and leaves you without hot water, you can use the heat pump control panel to turn on the immersion heater to produce hot water. The immersion heater is essentially a back up electric boiler that can produce hot water at times of need. It should not be left running permanently and should be used sparingly due to the significant increase in costs.

The UK, like many other countries, is striving to decarbonise all sectors of the economy to meet net zero targets. This goal, along with the on-going issues with energy prices means that there is a growing demand for products that will make homes energy efficient. Whilst many new builds are being developed with energy efficiency in mind, it’s important to remember that the biggest benefit will be seen by retrofitting most of the UK’s homes with products that will reduce energy consumption.
Energy Efficient Homes Are Selling for a Premium
Last month, Santander released a new report stating that UK House Buyers were willing to pay a premium for energy efficient properties. The study which surveyed 2,300 buyers found that energy efficiency was one of the most desirable features of a home, ranking higher than a large garden or a home office. Right now, buyers are placing a 9.4% premium on green properties, which is great news for anyone who has installed or is intending to install a heat pump at their property. On average, buyers were willing to pay £26,600 more for a green property which is considerably more than the cost of installing a heat pump.
