How FLO approaches heat pump system design
- 01
Establish demand
Calculate the building and room-level heat requirements using property-specific information.
- 02
Match distribution
Check radiator, underfloor and pipework performance at the intended temperatures and flow rates.
- 03
Select equipment
Choose the heat pump, cylinder, controls and supporting components around the design conditions.
- 04
Document the system
Set out the specification, assumptions, scope and commissioning requirements before installation.

Questions people ask
Why does flow temperature matter?+
Lower flow temperatures can improve heat-pump efficiency, but the emitters must still deliver the required room heat. The design balances both.
Can existing pipework be reused?+
Sometimes. Pipe sizes, layout, condition and required flow rates must be checked rather than assumed.
Is system design included with installation?+
A property-specific design should form the basis of the final installation proposal and commissioning plan.
