You are not alone. Millions of UK homes face the same challenge. HydroTop™ was designed specifically to solve it.
Heat pumps are the future of home heating, but for a huge number of UK properties, installing one has felt impossible. Not because the technology doesn't work, but because there's simply nowhere to put the external unit.
If any of these sound familiar, HydroTop™ may be the answer you've been looking for.
You've been told there's no suitable wall or garden space for an external heat pump unit.
You're worried about the noise a heat pump would generate for you or your neighbours.
You live in a conservation area or a terraced property where an external unit isn't permitted.
You don't want a large external unit dominating the front or rear of your home.
A heat pump installer has already visited and told you a conventional installation isn't viable.
Your property type makes conventional external unit placement particularly difficult.
HydroTop™ is a roof-integrated casement system that houses your air-source heat pump within the roof void of your home. The only visible external element is a low-profile aluminium cap sitting no more than 150mm above the roofline, barely noticeable, and in most cases requiring no planning permission.
The heat pump unit sits inside your loft space, protected from the elements and accessible for servicing without anyone needing to go outside. No noise disturbance. No visual impact. No compromise on your garden or external space.
HydroTop™ is compatible with all major heat pump manufacturers, so you get the benefit of a roof-integrated installation without being tied to a single brand or product.
The low-profile cap sits flush with your roof. Neighbours and passers-by won't know it's there.
Designed to meet Class C of the GPDO. In most cases no planning application is required.
With the unit housed inside the roof, there's no external noise disturbance to you or your neighbours.
All maintenance is carried out from within the loft. No outdoor access required, whatever the weather.
