Plumbmaster offers expert advice and a wide range of renewable products, ensuring your home is running efficiently, saving you money, energy and space. Renewable energy products include the Plumbmaster HeatMaster Underfloor Heating System developed by the Plumbmaster team, offering a full supply and fit scheme as well as professional aftercare. WHAT IS UNDERFLOOR HEATING? Underfloor heating works by circulating warm water through a network of cross- linked polyethylene pipes laid in the floors, gently spreading heat through the house. With traditional radiators, temperature variations can occur due to uneven radiator coverage. Not with underfloor heating, as the pipe network covers the entire floor area for even heat distribution throughout. WHY SHOULD I HAVE UNDERFLOOR HEATING? Underfloor heating is one of the most efficient and

conventional sources such as gas. Underfloor heating systems are available to suit different floor types, suspended wooden floors and screed floors. Benefits include comfort, flexibility, energy efficiency, design freedom, safety, health and almost-zero maintenance. ENERGY EFFICIENT: Because it warms your body and not the entire air mass, you feel comfortable at a lower air temperature. As little as 1-2°C lower air temperature could result in a 15-30% energy saving. MINIMAL MAINTENANCE: Simple operating principles and minimal mechanical equipment mean the system requires almost-zero maintenance. Heating pipes are made from smooth lined PE-Xa cross linked polyethylene with an expected life of well over 50 years. Tough and robust, they are corrosion free and resistant to scale build-up. Plumbmaster has 11 branches across Northern Ireland, and two on the Isle of Man, all with their own dedicated trade

place, controlled by individual room thermostats. The system is designed to run at a much more constant level than other heating methods. It even maintains a low-level heat setting at night, ready for the floor to heat up the following day. FLEXIBILITY: With the floor as a large heat emitter only low temperature (35- 45°C) heating water is required. Heating water can be provided by almost any energy source, including renewable sources such as solar, geothermal and

comfortable heating/cooling technologies available, offering many advantages over conventional methods including: COMFORT: Underfloor heating creates a feeling of wellbeing, as it gently and evenly warms the home environment. It produces a high level of radiant heat without causing the dryness usually associated with high intensity systems. Modern control systems enable underfloor heating to provide just the right amount of heat, at the right time and in the right

counter, staff, and delivery fleet, including the recent addition of a new 10-tonne lorry and two new vans. The Renewable Energy Hub, located at the Head Office branch in Newry is home to a range of renewable products including HeatMaster Underfloor Heating, heat pumps, solar panels, smart controls and more.
