Low Loss Headers
What Are Low Loss Headers?
A low loss header is a crucial component in modern heating systems, designed to improve efficiency and maintain balance between the flow and return circuits. It acts as a connection point for your boiler and heating system, ensuring consistent water flow and temperature control across all heating zones.
At Home Heating Systems Ltd, we install low loss headers to enhance the performance of your heating system, ensuring it operates at peak efficiency while reducing wear and tear. If you’re considering upgrading your heating setup, a low loss header could be the key to a more reliable, energy-efficient home.
The benefits of a Low Loss Header
Installing a low loss header in your heating system offers a range of advantages, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency:
Improved System Efficiency
Low loss headers balance the water flow between the boiler and your heating circuits, ensuring your system operates efficiently without overworking the boiler or pumps.Enhanced Boiler Performance
By separating the primary and secondary circuits, a low loss header reduces wear and tear on your boiler, extending its lifespan and minimising maintenance costs.Consistent Temperature Control
Enjoy steady heating throughout your home with a low loss header’s ability to maintain balanced temperatures across all circuits.Perfect for Larger Systems
Ideal for homes with multiple heating zones, underfloor heating, or mixed heating systems, low loss headers ensure each circuit receives the right amount of heat without compromising pressure or flow.
When Do You Need a Low Loss Header?
A low loss header may be the perfect solution if:
- You have a larger heating system with multiple zones, such as radiators, underfloor heating, and hot water systems.
- Your boiler frequently short-cycles or struggles to keep up with demand.
- You’re combining multiple heat sources, such as a gas boiler with a heat pump or solar thermal system.
- You want to upgrade to a more energy-efficient system and reduce strain on your boiler and components.
