Eco Heating Pipes​ FAQs

Many suppliers can seem to offer cheaper solutions that ‘look’ similar. In most cases this can only be achieved by compromising on either quality or quantity: Reducing the quantity of pipe: This means you will need to pump higher temperature water to get the required heat, which pushes up your heating bills. Using cheaper imported pipe: Many pipes imported from the Far East is of questionable quality and will likely deteriorate quickly. Using undersized heat pump: It must operate at higher loads to provide the required heat, which will burn it out much sooner than its expected lifespan. Using less thermostats: This means you lose control of heating each of your rooms individually, thus compromising your comfort. Purchasing a ‘cheaper’ option can prove very costly in terms of running costs, maintenance costs and replacement costs.
