FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers about heating, cooling, plumbing and the current product families in the catalogue, with a focus on heat pumps and low-temperature systems.

Topic

Heat pumps and low-temperature heating

What should I check first before choosing a heat pump?

Start with the building, insulation, emitters, domestic hot water and the existing heating source. A heat pump works best when the whole system is considered together.

Can a heat pump work with existing radiators?

Yes, but the radiator size, room load and target water temperature must be checked. The right answer depends on the building, not only on the product.

Is underfloor heating always necessary with a heat pump?

No. Underfloor heating is a strong match, but many projects also work with radiators or mixed systems when the temperatures are planned correctly.

Do I need a buffer tank or hydraulic separator?

Sometimes, but not always. It depends on the system volume, control strategy and whether the heat pump is serving more than one circuit.

Can one heat pump cover heating and domestic hot water?

Often yes, if the system is designed for both uses. The hot-water strategy should be checked at the same time as the heating circuit.

What should I send for a heat-pump quote?

Send floor area, insulation level, existing emitters, photos of the plant room if there is one, and any drawing or material list you already have. A short note is enough to start the discussion.

Topic

Radiators and boiler rooms

When are radiators a better choice than underfloor heating?

Radiators are often the practical option in renovations, upper floors or spaces where floor work is limited. They are also useful when the project needs faster installation.

Can existing radiators be kept in a retrofit?

Sometimes yes, especially if the sizing and condition are still suitable. We check whether the existing emitters can support the new system temperature.

What products usually belong in a boiler-room order?

A boiler-room order can include the heat source, controls, valves, pumps, safety devices, flues and related accessories. The exact list depends on the system type.

Do I need thermostatic valves and room controls?

In most projects, yes. They help the system work more evenly and let you control comfort room by room.

Do you support oil and gas boiler-room projects too?

Yes. The catalogue includes boiler-room related product families, so we can discuss oil, gas or hybrid setups where they are still the right fit.

What if I only know the room size and not the full heating load?

That is still a good start. We can begin with the room size, building type and existing system, then narrow the options before any purchase decision.

Topic

Cooling and air conditioning

When should I choose air conditioning for a project?

Choose air conditioning when the main need is cooling, fast response or a targeted room-by-room solution. It can also support heating in many spaces.

What is the difference between a split and a multi-split system?

A split system serves one indoor unit with one outdoor unit. A multi-split connects several indoor units to one outdoor unit, which can suit more than one room.

Can cooling be planned together with heating?

Yes, and it is often better when the project is designed as one system view instead of separate decisions. That is especially useful in renovation work.

What information do you need to size an air-conditioner?

We need the room size, use of the space, number of rooms and whether it is a new installation or a replacement. Photos and a drawing help a lot.

Do you offer current air-conditioning products in the catalogue?

Yes. The catalogue includes current air-conditioning products, including Midea models where published.

Can you help replace an existing unit like-for-like?

Yes, if we know the existing unit details, the space and the installation constraints. We can then compare the current options with the right replacement path.

Topic

Plumbing, pressure and water treatment

Why does water pressure drop in a house?

Low pressure can come from the water source, the pipe size, the building height or a system that no longer matches the demand. The correct fix depends on the cause.

When is a pressure pump or booster set needed?

A pump or booster set is used when the available pressure is not enough for the building or the number of usage points. It is selected after checking the water source and flow needs.

What should I know before choosing a water storage tank?

Check the available space, the expected water use and the installation location. The tank should fit the system, not just the empty corner where it will be placed.

Do you supply fittings, valves and installation accessories?

Yes. We support plumbing work with fittings, valves and related accessories, including ICMA and Mangas product families where applicable.

What is the difference between a water filter and a water softener?

A water filter is mainly used to capture particles or improve water quality in specific ways. A softener is used when hardness is the issue.

Can you help with plumbing renovation lists and small repairs?

Yes. Send the list, the damaged part or a photo and we can guide you to the right replacement or the closest current product.

Topic

Solar hot water, drainage and support

Is solar hot water still relevant in Cyprus?

Yes. Solar hot water still makes sense in Cyprus, especially when the system is planned with the rest of the domestic hot water setup.

What should I send for a drainage or sewage enquiry?

Send the pipe sizes, the number of points, the building type and any drawing or sketch you already have. Photos also help.

Do you work from drawings, PDFs and photos?

Yes. That is often the fastest way to understand the project and match the right catalogue products.

Can I ask for only part of a project?

Yes. You do not need to send a full system if you only need one part, such as the heat source, the emitters or the plumbing materials.

How quickly can you respond to a material list?

A clear list usually gets the fastest reply. The more complete the list, the easier it is to check the right products and availability.

Can I collect products from the store or arrange delivery?

Yes. Store pickup and delivery can be discussed depending on the order and the project location.

Need a quicker answer?

Send us the project details and we will point you to the right product or system.

A short list, a drawing or a few photos is enough to start the conversation.
