Fabric first, then the heat source.
Most retrofits fail on flow temperature, not on the box outside. We start from what the emitters and insulation can carry today, then pick a heat source that suits it.
Explore heating, cooling, solar and storage at our Energy Centre in Belfast, Northern Ireland. A place for homeowners, installers and project teams to compare the options.
Serving Northern Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales and the Republic of Ireland.

Visit our Energy Centre in Belfast, Northern Ireland to explore heating, cooling, generation, storage and controls in context. Bring a client, bring a drawing, or come with the question you have not yet resolved.
SHC will confirm your tour time, access and what is available to see before you travel.
The technology floor
Air and ground source, sized against real heat loss and matched to emitters that can run at low flow temperatures.
Roof and ground arrays, inverters and export metering, specified alongside the heating rather than after it.
Home and light-commercial batteries, with the tariff and load conversation made visible before anyone commits to a size.
System and combi boilers, hybrids and flueing, for properties where the fabric is not ready for low-temperature heat.
Off-grid heating that still has to be safe, efficient and serviceable, plus a route to convert later.
Split and multi-split cooling that shares the same controls and metering as the heating side.
Zoning, weather compensation and monitoring, so the system runs the way it was designed to on paper.
Air quality and recovery for airtight builds, coordinated with the heating design from the start.

For installers
Distribution, product knowledge, training and somewhere to bring your client. SHC is designed to support the installer relationship, not compete for the installation work.
Explore the system and ask SHC about an application, manufacturer or supporting component.
Bring the application, system or project question into a conversation with the distribution team.
Request Ariston, Intergas or Navien training at the Belfast Energy Centre. SHC confirms the dates and course details with you.
Choose your trainingUse the Energy Centre to help a customer understand the system while you remain at the centre of the relationship.
For new builds
Heating, hot water, solar, storage and controls are connected decisions. Considering them together at design stage gives the project team a clearer brief and makes the handover conversation easier to plan.
