The solution for housebuilder’s electricity grid capacity constraints

Networked heat pumps

No more struggling with additional grid capacity.

Our solution uses the same amount of electricity as gas-heated homes, unlike individual ASHPs, which require double the capacity.

By leveraging our networked heat pump solution, you can reduce grid strain and avoid the need for costly upgrades while meeting your carbon goals.
