Rinnai Applied Head of Design Sean Ehlen evaluates the importance of heat pump system congruity utilising Seasonal Performance Factors (SPF) as the expected performance. Advanced evaluations and verified methodologies are the preferred modes of measurement. A heat pump’s capabilities should be based on actual operating conditions and locations to yield accurate pictures of on-site performance.

Something new is coming. Comfort is about to change. Ferroli UK is preparing to unveil a new renewable heating product on 1 November 2026. The launch comes after the Ferroli Group introduced its new brand identity on 15 September 2026, bringing a new logo, colour palette, typography, photography and tone of voice, together with the international claim “Feel well. Live inspired.” The new identity is already live across Ferroli’s digital channels at ferroli.com and will extend

Rinnai Director Chris Goggin confronts the question surrounding heat pump installations: how does the idea of heat pumps being classified as the primary solution towards domestic and commercial decarbonisation compare to the direction of the UK low carbon heating and hot water technology market? Heat pumps are a huge part of the UK's plans to lower carbon emissions, but to fulfil the aims of the UK Department of Energy Security and NetZero, heat pumps must become more accessi

New report finds buyers routinely underestimate renovation costs while overlooking the potential six-figure added value offered by new build homes Home buyers choosing a renovation project in the hope of getting better value could face costs of over £170,000 to bring it up to the standard offered by today’s new build homes, research by the Home Builders Federation (HBF) shows. The report reveals a significant gap between the perceived value of a ‘fixer-upper’ and the reality

Rinnai Director Chris Goggin evaluates the new potential path of UK emissions reductions under Prime Minister Andy Burnham. As NetZero has become increasingly polarising both domestically and internationally by some mainstream media outlets, the UK’s pursuit of carbon neutrality must be adapted to match both public demand and market forces. Continue reading to see the how and why of NetZero being altered to combat diminishing political and public support fuelled by global eco

Ideal Commercial Heating has launched a new white paper exploring how hybrid heating systems can support the decarbonisation of commercial buildings while addressing the practical constraints faced by specifiers and building owners. Titled The Future of Sustainable Commercial Heating: The Role of Hybrid Systems, the document examines the decision-making process behind commercial heating decarbonisation projects and highlights why hybrid systems are being adopted as part of a

With the UK having experienced four heatwaves so far this year, Vent-Axia has sponsored a new white paper exploring the growing challenge of overheating in UK buildings. The report, Solutions for Mitigating Overheating in Residential and Commercial Buildings, examines how architects are responding to rising temperatures and tighter regulations when designing newbuild properties. It also highlights the increasingly important role ventilation can play as part of a wider overhea

Rinnai Director Chris Goggin reviews UK Natural gas policy and discusses long and medium-term sustainability. Natural gas remains integral towards daily UK commercial operations, so what can current policy reveal when thinking of sustainability and how does energy security and market volatility influence these observations?

Ideal Commercial Heating has launched a CIBSE-approved CPD titled ‘Low carbon hybrid heating system considerations’, designed to help specifiers and building services engineers navigate the complexity of designing heating systems that meet the needs of users while reducing carbon emissions. The CPD provides a practical, real-world overview of how hybrid and bivalent systems can support the decarbonisation of commercial buildings, while addressing the constraints that often li

Rinnai’s Peter Seddon explains how heat pump technology in commercial applications can improve system efficiency and contribute towards national decarbonisation targets. Heat pumps are fast becoming a widespread and viable option for business owners who require heating and hot water. Find out how investing in a heat pump can benefit commercial projects. Heat Pumps are a viable technology that efficiently provides warmth and heated water. Although the UK is still reliant on fo

Rinnai Director Chris Goggin looks at and discusses the potential next generation of energy technology ideas and appliances that could deliver economic and efficient power to residential and commercial properties in the near future. New and original approaches will replace traditional and well referenced methods of heating and hot water provision. History is saturated with case histories of a process and pattern of technological replacements. Join the free Rinnai newsletter f

Rinnai Director Chris Goggin espouses the financial and ecological benefits of adopting hybrid technology in heating & hot water delivery. Hybrid systems are an innovative decarbonising solution that provides a first step towards the limiting of emissions on projects that may not be able to fully adopt decarbonising technology.

Rinnai Director Chris Goggin explores the financial and ecological benefits of hybrid technology in heating and hot water delivery. Hybrid systems offer an innovative approach to decarbonisation and can provide a practical first step for projects that are not yet able to adopt technologies such as heat pumps as a standalone solution. UK energy policy is focused on reducing and eventually eliminating the use of fossil fuels. During the transition away from coal, oil, petrol an

Specify & Build met with Qvantum UK to learn why its water-to-water heat pump has been created for apartment developments. As the Future Homes Standard moves the newbuild housing sector away from fossil fuel heating, heat pumps are increasingly being positioned as the default route to decarbonisation. While air source systems have become the most familiar option, apartment developments often present different challenges. External space can be limited, acoustic considerations
