Choose a heat-pump system to explore
These pages introduce popular systems supplied by JMG Renewables. The right model and output depend on your heat loss, available space, emitters, hot-water demand and installation design.
Daikin Altherma 3 small monobloc
A compact outdoor-unit option for suitable homes with lower design heat loads and limited outdoor space.
Daikin Altherma 3R split
A split configuration that can provide additional design flexibility where the indoor and outdoor components need separate positioning.
Daikin Altherma 3 large monobloc
A larger monobloc option for properties whose calculated heat demand requires greater output.
Vaillant aroTHERM
A well-known residential heat-pump range focused on efficient heating, refined controls and considered acoustic design.
Panasonic Aquarea
A broad residential range with configurations and capacities designed for different property and heating requirements.
Grant Aerona 290
A Quiet Mark accredited R290 monobloc range with 4, 6.5, 9, 12 and 15.5kW options and high seasonal efficiency.
Monobloc or split: what is the difference?
Monobloc heat pump
The main refrigeration circuit is contained within the outdoor unit. Water pipework connects the outdoor unit to the heating system inside the property.
Often considered for: straightforward domestic layouts and installations where suitable insulated water pipework can be routed safely.
Split heat pump
The refrigeration circuit is divided between outdoor and indoor equipment, with refrigerant pipework connecting the two components.
Often considered for: installations where the equipment layout or pipe route benefits from a split-system design.
Neither type is automatically best for every home. JMG will assess space, pipe routes, noise considerations, electrical supply and system temperatures before recommending a design.
Compare the featured ranges
| System | Type | May suit |
|---|---|---|
| Daikin Altherma 3 small | Monobloc | Suitable lower-load homes and compact outdoor locations |
| Daikin Altherma 3R | Split | Layouts requiring flexible positioning of indoor and outdoor equipment |
| Daikin Altherma 3 large | Monobloc | Properties requiring a higher calculated heating output |
| Vaillant aroTHERM | Monobloc range | Customers seeking a premium residential system and integrated controls |
| Panasonic Aquarea | Model dependent | A range of property types, capacities and design requirements |
| Grant Aerona 290 | R290 monobloc | Properties requiring a broad output range, high seasonal efficiency and Quiet Mark accredited design |
Important: this comparison is an initial guide. Model, capacity and flow-temperature performance must be confirmed through a full system design.
Boiler Upgrade Scheme support
Standard heat-pump grant
Eligible homeowners may receive £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water heat-pump installation.
Eligible off-grid oil or LPG homes
A higher grant may be available for qualifying off-gas-grid properties currently heated by oil or LPG.

The existing description of one fixed 6kW heat pump and 150-litre cylinder has been replaced because equipment must be selected for the individual property and household.
From survey to aftercare
Survey
We assess the property, current heating, electrical supply, hot-water demand and suitable equipment locations.
Design
Heat-loss calculations and system temperatures determine the appropriate capacity, cylinder and emitter requirements.
Grant and quote
You receive a written quotation and, where eligible, JMG manages the installer side of the grant application.
Installation
The system is installed, commissioned and handed over with controls guidance and aftercare information.
Designed and supported by JMG Renewables
MCS-certified installation
System design, commissioning and documentation completed for applicable MCS requirements.
Grant application support
Clear guidance through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme process, subject to eligibility and approval.
Servicing and aftercare
Ongoing heat-pump servicing and maintenance options after installation.
Air source heat-pump FAQs
How do I know what size heat pump I need?
A room-by-room heat-loss calculation is required. The result depends on the property fabric, design temperatures, emitters and hot-water requirements—not floor area alone.
Will all my radiators need replacing?
Not necessarily. Existing emitters are assessed against the proposed system temperatures, and only the upgrades required by the design should be included in the quotation.
Is a monobloc or split heat pump better?
Both can work well. The right choice depends on available space, pipe routes, design output, installation requirements and the selected manufacturer.
Does the grant make the installation free?
No. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme contributes towards an eligible installation, but the final customer contribution depends on the complete system design and quotation.
Do you service systems after installation?
Yes. JMG Renewables offers heat-pump servicing and maintenance options to support efficient, reliable operation.
