From plans to specification
The design process considers building fabric, heat loss, room use, plant space, manifold positions and pipe routes before equipment is selected.
Sustainable comfort. Greener futures.
System Design and Specification
AquaTherma designs low-temperature heating systems around the building, heat loss, floor build-up, flow rates, emitters, controls and future support needs.

Benefits
Measured, practical reasons this service may suit the right property and design.
Helps prevent underspecified or overcomplicated systems.
Aligns heat pump selection, UFH layout, zoning and controls.
Supports homeowners, self-builders, architects, developers and installers.
Turns plans and project constraints into a practical specification.
How it works
Straightforward explanations of the technical decisions that shape comfort, efficiency and long-term performance.
Integrated, not isolated
Heat pumps, UFH, MVHR, hot water, controls and future servicing are considered together so the final system works as a coherent whole.
Built around real installation
A good specification should be clear enough for pricing, installation, commissioning and handover, with fewer surprises on site.
Process with AquaTherma
A predictable route from enquiry and design through to quotation, installation or support, commissioning and aftercare.
1
Consultation
We discuss the property, project stage, comfort goals and the systems already being considered.
2
Heat loss survey
The design starts with the building, its fabric, heat loss and practical installation constraints.
3
Design and specification
Heat pump, UFH, MVHR and controls are specified to work as one low temperature system.
4
Installation
AquaTherma can install directly or provide commissioning support where appropriate.
5
Handover
The system is checked, commissioned and explained so settings and comfort are understood.
6
Ongoing support
Servicing and support help keep filters, fluids, controls and system performance in good condition.
Common questions
Answers to the practical questions that come up before committing to a renewable heating project.
Do heat pumps work with radiators?+
Yes, when the radiators, heat loss and flow temperatures are designed correctly. AquaTherma focuses on low temperature design so radiators, UFH and hot water work efficiently as a complete system.
Is underfloor heating better for a heat pump?+
Underfloor heating is often an excellent partner for heat pumps because it can deliver comfortable heat at lower water temperatures. The detail still needs to be designed around the property and floor construction.
What is SCOP?+
SCOP means Seasonal Coefficient of Performance. It is a seasonal efficiency measure that describes how much heat a heat pump delivers compared with the electricity it uses.
Do you cover my area?+
AquaTherma works across Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Leicestershire. If you are nearby and unsure whether your project is covered, send your postcode and the team will confirm.
Are you MCS certified?+
Yes. AquaTherma is MCS certified and is also a RECC member.
Do you work with developers and heating engineers?+
Yes. AquaTherma works with homeowners, self-builders, developers and plumbing or heating engineers, including design and commissioning support where appropriate.
