Why Choose a Heat Pump
A smarter way to heat your Leicester home
Air source heat pumps extract warmth from the outside air — even in winter — and deliver it into your home far more efficiently than a gas boiler. Pair one with wet underfloor heating and you have the most efficient, comfortable heating system available today.
Lower Carbon Footprint
Replacing a gas boiler dramatically cuts your household carbon emissions — helping meet the UK's net-zero targets and future-proofing your home.
MCS Certified Installation
All our engineers hold full MCS certification — the industry gold standard — making you eligible for government grants and ensuring top-quality workmanship.
Ideal with Underfloor Heating
Wet underfloor heating runs at the low flow temperatures heat pumps love — making the combination up to 25% more efficient than a heat pump with radiators alone.
Low Maintenance
Very few moving parts mean minimal servicing. A simple annual check is all that's needed to keep your system performing at its best for 25+ years.
Increase Property Value
A better EPC rating and renewable heating make your home more attractive to buyers. A heat pump is a sound investment that adds real market value.
Underfloor Heating Leicester
Wet underfloor heating — designed to work perfectly with your heat pump
We don't just install heat pumps — we design and install complete wet underfloor heating systems that are engineered from the ground up to work in harmony with your air source heat pump. The result is a heating system that is quieter, more efficient, and more comfortable than any radiator system.
Wet underfloor heating circulates warm water through pipes beneath your floor, delivering gentle, even heat at exactly the low flow temperatures (35–45°C) where heat pumps are most efficient. No hot spots, no cold spots — just luxurious warmth underfoot throughout your home.
- Bespoke system design tailored to your property and heat pump
- Works with screed, floating floor, and low-profile systems
- Compatible with tiles, wood, LVT, carpet and stone finishes
- Dramatically improves heat pump efficiency (COP) vs radiators
- Frees up wall space — no radiators needed

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Does wet underfloor heating work well with an air source heat pump?
Absolutely — it's the perfect combination. Wet underfloor heating operates at low flow temperatures (35–45°C), which is exactly where air source heat pumps run at their highest efficiency. Together they can be up to 25% more efficient than a heat pump paired with standard radiators, giving you lower running costs and a more comfortable home.
Can you fit underfloor heating in an existing home (retrofit)?
Yes. We offer both standard screed-based systems for new builds and renovations, and low-profile retrofit systems that fit within existing floor structures without significant raising of floor levels. We'll assess your property and recommend the best solution for your situation.
Is my Leicester home suitable for an air source heat pump?
Most properties are suitable. Good insulation (loft and cavity wall) helps maximise efficiency, but many homes throughout Leicester and Leicestershire qualify as-is. Our free survey will confirm suitability and recommend any improvements before you commit to anything.
How much does a heat pump and underfloor heating cost in Leicester?
Costs depend on property size and the scope of the underfloor heating installation. The government's Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) currently offers grants of up to £7,500 towards heat pump installation. Contact us for a free, detailed quote for your specific property.
Can you also install solar panels and air conditioning?
Yes. Airtech Renewables offers the complete package — air source heat pump, wet underfloor heating, solar panels and air conditioning — all installed and commissioned by our team. Using one installer means everything is designed to work together seamlessly for maximum efficiency and savings.
Will a heat pump work through a cold Leicester winter?
Yes. Modern Stiebel Eltron heat pumps operate efficiently in temperatures as low as -20°C. They extract latent heat energy from the outside air even when it feels very cold — perfectly suited to the UK climate.
Do I qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
Most homeowners in England and Wales with a valid EPC (within the last 10 years) and no outstanding recommendations for loft or cavity wall insulation qualify. As MCS certified installers we handle the grant application process for you.
