ThermaSkirt’s availability through the heat pump distributor makes it easier for installers, housebuilders and developers across the UK to get a complete heat pump heating system from one supplier.
From its 15,000 sq ft warehouse in Bamber Bridge, near Preston, Freedom Heat Pumps supplies a complete service, including the products, assisting with heat loss calculations and system design, quoting and then timely delivery.
Since it was established 2010, Freedom Heat Pumps’ ethos has been to provide knowledgeable, sensible technical support to the renewable heating trade. The last few years have seen the company expand rapidly as heat pumps have become more popular, and in 2022 it became part of Certas Energy, part of the DCC Group, as part of its energy transition roadmap. Managing director Chris Higgs explains: “[the acquisition] gives us stronger avenues into much larger business opportunities and we are well positioned to take advantage of a range of new growth opportunities.”
The benefit for Freedom Heat Pumps in offering ThermaSkirt is that it is the perfect partner for heat pump installations. It cleverly the problem of the need for larger radiators to achieve the required heat output for lower temperature heat pump installations. A real game-changer when it comes to performance and aesthetics, ThermaSkirt combines sleek, discreet skirting board design with the efficiency of radiant heating.
ThermaSkirt is very flexible to specify and install, and can be installed on a room-by-room basis. It can be used alongside the existing radiators to make up the shortfall in heat loss calculations or completely replace radiators in those rooms. And for new build properties where underfloor heating is installed on the ground floor, it is an effective and energy efficient solution for heating the upper floors.
At DiscreteHeat, our installers tell us it would be more convenient to buy their ThermaSkirt from the same place as they buy their heat pumps, so this is a great new partnership for both our companies. And, as part of a heat pump package, homeowners are eligible for a 0% VAT rate, since the government removed VAT from the installation of energy saving materials and heating equipment in until 31 March 2027.
