Underfloor heating pump

What is an underfloor heating pump?

An underfloor heating pump, also known as a circulation pump, is a key component of your heating system. It works alongside your central heating pump to circulate warm water through the network of pipes installed beneath your floor, providing a gentle, even heat that rises from the ground up.

A hot water pump provides warm water to your taps and showers, while a boiler pump circulates hot water from the boiler to your radiators or underfloor heating. 

An underfloor heating pump, however, is built for one specific purpose: to deliver warmth exclusively to your floors. 

If you're upgrading your space or building a new home, an underfloor heating pump is ideal for creating a cosy, comfortable interior where you can walk barefoot all year round.

Why do you need an underfloor heating pump?

Water in a water-based underfloor heating system won’t circulate efficiently on its own. Without proper circulation, some areas of your floor may stay cold, and your heating system won’t perform at its best. An underfloor heating pump helps by keeping water flowing evenly through all the pipes. This ensures a consistent warm temperature throughout your home.

Investing in a good, energy-efficient pump helps your system work better. It also keeps your home warm and welcoming.

Benefits of our range of underfloor heating pumps 

Save money on energy costs

Modern underfloor heating pumps use the latest technology to be far more energy-efficient than older models. For example, the DAB Evosta 2 is 70% more efficient than regular circulation pumps. This helps you save energy while keeping your home warm. Doesn’t true comfort start with energy and cost savings, after all?

Even and consistent heating

No more warm rooms and cold spots. Our pumps ensure every area of your home receives the right amount of warmth. Features like AUTOADAPT on the ALPHA2 pump automatically find the optimal setting for balanced comfort.

Compact and versatile designs

Designed to fit most standard installations, our pumps are easy to replace or upgrade. Their compact size makes them a practical and hassle-free choice for any home.

Easy and safe operation

Installation and use are simple. Pumps such as the ALPHA2 have dry-running protection to avoid damage. With its waterproof design, the DAB Evosta keeps running smoothly, so you can relax and enjoy cosy floors.

How to choose the right underfloor heating pump 

Choosing the right pump doesn’t have to be tricky. Think about your home, your system, and what you want from your pump. These questions will help you decide whether you need a simple replacement, a smarter model, or one that saves energy.

Are you looking to reduce your energy bills?

Modern pumps are built with the latest technologies to save you money in the long run. They use significantly less electricity than older models, which means they can quickly pay for themselves in energy savings.

For example, the DAB Evosta 2 is a popular choice for its high efficiency and ability to save you money from the moment you install it.

What are you looking for: a simple replacement or a smarter solution?

If you want a simple replacement, the Grundfos Alpha1 is a great choice. It has a straightforward, one-button operation and comes in standard sizes like 130mm or 180mm for a perfect fit.

If you want a smarter solution, the Grundfos Alpha2 GO is built for a hands-off experience. Its AUTO-ADAPT feature automatically finds the perfect setting for your system.

How much power do you need?

The pump's power is measured by its max. delivery head (in metres). For most standard homes, a pump with a 6-metre delivery head is enough to circulate the water efficiently.

If you have a larger home or a complex system with many long pipes, you might need a stronger pump. This will help ensure that every room heats up evenly.

For these larger systems, a model like the DAB Evosta 3 80/180 X offers a higher delivery head.
