For a central heating option with a low environmental impact, pellet boiler brings you both high performance and ease of use. Circulating hot water throughout your home to provide both heating and hot water on demand. Underfloor heating is especially useful under hard and cold flooring finishes like concrete, vinyl and tiles but can be installed under carpet and even timber floors. Thermostatic timers with online app access allow for controlled heating where and when you want it.

The heat from the pellet boiler is distributed throughout your home in an underfloor system of pipes, allowing you to enjoy a cosy warmth underfoot.
