Designed for Low-Temperature Heating Systems.
We design and install underfloor heating systems for homes and commercial buildings across Northern Ireland. Our systems are designed for low-temperature heating, making them ideal for air source heat pumps and modern energy-efficient homes.
Every system is properly designed with zoning, pipe spacing and flow temperatures calculated to ensure reliable long-term performance.
More Than Just Laying Pipe
Our Approach.
Underfloor heating performs best when it’s designed as part of the wider low-temperature heating system. Pipe layout, spacing, flow temperatures and system hydraulics all need to work together to deliver steady heat and efficient operation.
That’s why every UFH system we install is properly designed as part of the overall heating system — not simply laid out and connected.
A Design-Led Approach to Underfloor Heating
Our underfloor heating systems are designed around the building fabric, heat demand and intended use of each space. This includes:
- Pipe layout and spacing calculations
- Room-by-room heat output design
- Manifold positioning and zoning strategy
- Control selection and system balancing
By designing the system in detail, we ensure consistent comfort, efficient operation and predictable performance.
Designed for Low-Temperature Efficiency
Underfloor heating is ideally suited to low-temperature heating systems.
When designed correctly it delivers steady, even heat across the space while operating efficiently at lower flow temperatures.
This makes UFH particularly effective when paired with air source heat pumps, reducing energy demand while improving comfort and system lifespan.
Floor Build-Up & Practical Design Considerations.
Every building presents different constraints, so floor build-up plays an important role in how an underfloor heating system performs. When designing UFH systems we consider insulation levels, available floor depth, structural requirements and the type of floor finish to ensure the system delivers the correct heat output.
As heat pump specialists, our systems are designed to operate efficiently at low flow temperatures, which means the relationship between pipe spacing, screed depth and insulation becomes critical to overall performance.
We assess insulation levels, screed depth, pipe centres, manifold locations and floor finishes during the design stage to ensure the system performs as intended and integrates properly with the wider heating system.
This design-led approach helps deliver steady heat distribution, efficient system operation and long-term reliability.
System Integration
Underfloor Heating Designed to Work With Heat Pumps.
Underfloor heating is rarely a standalone decision. As heat pump specialists, we design UFH systems to integrate with the wider heating system, ensuring efficient low-temperature operation and balanced heat distribution across the property.
Our systems are commonly integrated with:
• Air source heat pump systems
• Solar PV and battery storage
• Smart zoning and control strategies
• Whole-home energy design
This integrated approach ensures the heating system works efficiently as part of the overall energy strategy rather than in isolation.

Underfloor Heating vs Radiators for Heat Pumps.
When installing an air source heat pump, the type of heat distribution system plays a significant role in overall performance. Both underfloor heating and radiators can work with heat pumps, but underfloor heating is often the most efficient option.
At Newell Heat & Power, we design heating systems around the building and heat demand rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. In many new builds, underfloor heating is the most suitable solution for heat pump systems, but radiators can also be used where appropriate.
Every heating system we install is designed to ensure efficient operation, reliable comfort and long-term performance.
Underfloor Heating
• Operates efficiently at low flow temperatures
• Provides even heat distribution across the room
• Works particularly well with modern insulated buildings
• Reduces energy demand and running costs when paired with heat pumps
Radiators
• Can work with heat pumps if correctly sized
• May require larger radiators or additional units
• Often operate at higher flow temperatures than UFH systems
