Underfloor heating is one of the most energy efficient ways of heating any type of building.  It is ideally suited for use with low energy efficient heat sources such as ground source heat pumps.  Underfloor heating is quick and easy to install, is low maintenance and provides even warmth and comfort in the home or office.

Heat pumps (sometimes called geothermal heat pumps), take energy from the ground, air or water to provide heating and hot water for all building types.  No additional electric immerser is required

IHS supply ground, air and water source heat pumps integrate perfectly with our underfloor heating systems but can also be integrated with existing heating systems.  They also provide complete domestic hot water requirements.  Heat pumps are a great combination with underfloor heating as the low temperatures required by one and generated by the other fully complement each other. 

The Hygienik Hot Water tank from IHS is both a thermal store and buffer tank.  It is heated by the ground source heat pump and provides both domestic heating and hot water.

The Hygienik Tank lies at the heart of every renewable energy system we design and supply – it’s extremely versatile as it’s onto it that a huge range of other heat sources and emitters such as underfloor heating, ground source heat pumps, solar panels can be added.

IHS now offer a broad range of solar panels and systems from TiSUN and IDM in Austria.  TiSUN's range includes solar hot water and heating sets, solar stratified tanks, solar module collectors and a wide choice of control units and accessories.

All our solar products integrate fully with our underfloor heating systems, ground source heat pumps and heating and cooling systems.  They can also integrate very well with biomass, wood burning stoves and oil and gas boilers.

Road Energy uses the heat absorption capacity of black tarmac on roads, carparks and airport runways to heat and cool all types of buildings.  Some of our customers have even used Road Energy in their tennis courts to heat their swimming pools!  Hot and cold water stored underground is circulated in a network of pipe under the tarmac surface and called up as required to heat or cool a building.

Other benefits include frost and ice free roads and airport runways.  The Road Energy System can also be connected with heat pumps and underfloor heating systems for heating and cooling.

IHS has identified a significant skills gap in the market - particularly in the area of ground source heat pump installation. We've set up a series of one day training seminars which can be individually tailored to train members of the trade in underfloor heating, heat pumps, domestic water and solar systems.

We also offer consultancy services in thermal imaging and energy investigation and reporting.
