Demand profile
Separate space heating, hot water, process and ventilation loads by time and zone.
Commercial heat pumps
Could a heat pump cut the cost of heating your site?
FLO starts with your site's heating demand, working hours and existing equipment before suggesting a heat-pump route.
Every property is different. The free survey checks what is possible before you commit to a system.
The answer you need
How is a commercial heat-pump project different from a domestic replacement?
The design must represent operating hours, simultaneous loads, ventilation and hot water, distribution temperatures, electrical capacity, resilience and installation phasing while the building remains usable.
The property-specific checks
What will FLO check for your property?
We use these details to work out what is practical, what needs more investigation and what the next step should be.
Distribution
Test existing temperatures, emitters, air systems and plant interfaces against the new duty.
Continuity
Plan redundancy, temporary services, phasing, controls and maintenance access.
The next step with FLO
What will your assessment and quote cover?
FLO starts with your property, then explains the recommended work, the price, important exclusions and the next steps in writing.

Good to know
Questions you may have.
Can a commercial heat pump use existing emitters?+
Possibly, but output at the proposed temperatures and the hydraulic arrangement must be checked across real operating conditions.
Is bivalent heating always a compromise?+
Not necessarily. A documented hybrid strategy can address peak demand or resilience, but its control and carbon logic must be explicit.
What data should we provide first?+
Fuel and electricity data, operating hours, plant records, drawings, comfort issues and planned site changes create the most useful starting point.
What might change the recommendation?+
A product quote is not a decarbonisation plan. Investment decisions need energy evidence, operational agreement and clarity about enabling work, tariffs and network constraints.
