Heat Saviour – Frequently Asked Questions

What is Heat Saviour and how does it work?

Heat Saviour is a pre-assembled 600 mm-square retrofit module that sits beneath your hot-water cylinder and hydraulically links any air- or ground-source heat-pump to your existing heating loop via a plate heat-exchanger. Its dual-circuit design keeps the refrigerant/glycol side entirely separate from your radiators, protecting the pump from sludge and allowing installers to use standard, readily available components.

How does Heat Saviour cut installation time and cost?

Because it arrives fully built and avoids wholesale pipework changes, Heat Saviour can trim labour by about 20 % and save homeowners up to £2,000 on a typical retrofit. Less time on site also means less disruption—and makes the government’s £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme voucher stretch further.

Do I need to replace my radiators or pipework?

Usually not—the dual-loop layout lets the new heat pump run independently of your existing central-heating circuit, so most homes keep their current emitters and pipes intact. Only badly undersized or single-pipe systems will need additional work, which your installer will flag during the survey.

How much space does the unit require?

Heat Saviour is designed to slide into a standard 600 mm × 600 mm airing-cupboard footprint beneath a conventional hot-water cylinder. That makes it a good fit for UK homes where cupboard real-estate is tight.

Is it compatible with any heat-pump brand?

Yes—the plate-exchanger interface works with all MCS-approved air- and ground-source heat-pump models, so you’re not locked into proprietary parts.

Does Heat Saviour improve reliability and maintenance?

Keeping the glycol loop separate slashes sludge ingress and cuts glycol use by around 80 %, leading to fewer filter blockages and call-backs. Installers can service the pump without draining the whole heating system, reducing downtime for occupants.

Is there built-in backup heating?

Yes—a factory-fitted electric immersion element can be switched manually or via remote controls, keeping the house warm during pump maintenance or extreme cold snaps.

How does Heat Saviour benefit Boiler Upgrade Scheme applicants?

By shaving thousands off the upfront plumbing bill, Heat Saviour often leaves the £7,500 BUS grant covering most—if not all—of the remaining equipment cost, making a heat-pump swap financially easier.

What warranty does the product carry?

Hewer FM offers a lifetime parts guarantee on the Heat Saviour module itself, plus the standard manufacturer warranty on any paired heat-pump.

Has Heat Saviour been used in real homes yet?

Yes—more than 1,000 social-housing properties have already been fitted with the unit, with zero post-installation call-backs reported to date.
