Heat pumps and Heat Saviour

Physics

A heat pump moves heat from outside air into your home instead of burning fuel. One unit of electricity can deliver around three to four units of heat when the system is designed well.

  • •Lower flow temperatures mean higher efficiency
  • •Bigger radiators or underfloor heating help it run cooler
  • •Heat Saviour may form part of a suitable integration design, checked at survey

PassivGlas vacuum glazing

Supplier stated

A thin vacuum gap stops heat travelling through glass by conduction and convection, so slim units can perform like much thicker glazing.

  • •Can suit heritage frames where thick units will not fit
  • •We model the whole installed window, not the centre of the glass
  • •Quieter rooms and fewer cold spots near windows

VorteXtract

Supplier stated

Removes trapped gases and air from wet heating water. Clean, gas free water helps pumps and heat exchangers work as designed.

  • •It is a heating water product, not ventilation
  • •No automatic saving is credited in our calculator
  • •Benefit is confirmed per property

Breathe specialist ventilation

Physics

Warmer, tighter homes need controlled fresh air. Quiet continuous extraction removes moisture before it turns into condensation and mould.

  • •Targets kitchens, bathrooms and drying areas
  • •No heat recovery saving without tested product data
  • •Healthier air for children and older residents

Amporah Gateway Pro

Modelled

Coordinates solar, battery, heat pump and EV with the grid. It saves on your bill and can earn payments for helping balance the network.

  • •Modelled mid case value £2,365 a year per home
  • •Pre-launch figures, never guaranteed
  • •Separates measured results from predictions

Air, considered properly

Breathe ventilation

Controlled fresh air and moisture management belong in the whole-building plan. The suitable unit, airflow, noise and installation detail are confirmed during your technical survey.

Product visuals and airflow illustrations, not measured performance evidence. Heat recovery and energy savings require tested data for the specified product.

Part of the room, not in the way.

Amporah’s Breathe installation concept shows the linear unit beneath a living room window. Placement and suitability depend on the building survey.
