Baxi has launched a complete end-to-end range of products and services, including new AquaHeat heat interface units (HIUs), to provide a single point of contact for customers involved in heat network projects.

From carrying out initial feasibility and design studies to supplying prefabricated centralized energy centers and HIUs to driving efficient system maintenance and system optimization, Baxi offers total customer support at every stage. 

Heat networks

Heat networks are an important part of the drive to decarbonize heat and hot water services in residential and commercial buildings. The government has a target to supply 20% of heat in buildings from heat networks by 2050, up from 2-3%. 

Through the Heat Network Transformation Program, which includes initiatives, such as Heat Network Zoning and tighter industry regulations, it is ensuring that high-performance, low-carbon heat networks can contribute towards reaching net zero.

UK new build and renovation projects

Baxi is offering a raft of services to support customers with the correct implementation

With heat networks set to be implemented across a growing number of UK new build and renovation projects, Baxi is offering a raft of services to support customers with the correct implementation. 

Perfect for use in new build or retrofit multiple occupancy buildings, campus heating systems, and district heat networks, Baxi’s comprehensive heat network solutions and services will support residential, public sector, and commercial property developers and building owners in delivering low-carbon buildings.

Baxi Packaged Solutions

At the heart of Baxi’s heat network proposition is Baxi Packaged Solutions. Established prefabrication specialists, the business excels in designing and manufacturing pre-packaged plant rooms for centralized energy centers, as well as prefabricated utility cupboards for use in individual dwellings within the property.

These typically use heating and hot water solutions from Baxi’s respected brands including Remeha and Heatrae Sadia as well as heat pumps from the wider BDR Thermea Group manufacturing facilities in Europe.

Baxi’s heat network service

As part of its heat network range, which includes thermal substations, Baxi is also launching AquaHeat, a new heat interface unit (HIU) for use in multiple occupancy projects such as apartments. The twin-plate HIUs are available in two outputs and can deliver indirect space heating and Domestic Hot Water (DHW) for new build and older homes. An indirect heat-only model is also available for use in commercial premises. 

Baxi’s heat network service is further enhanced by the UK launch of Mercurius Connected – a digital innovation developed and already available in Europe – that will be able to remotely monitor, troubleshoot and optimize the HIUs.

Baxi’s Integrated Thermal Solutions unit 

Baxi is also drawing on expertise and experience from its parent company BDR Thermea

Baxi is also drawing on expertise and experience from its parent company BDR Thermea, which acquired heat network specialist, Fortes Energy Systems, the market pioneer in manufacturing and supplying HIUs and thermal substations in northern Europe, last year.

Baxi’s Integrated Thermal Solutions unit – headed up by Sales Director and heat networks advocate Stephen Hart – provides customers with feasibility studies and system design before installation, in addition to training, remote and onsite commissioning and ongoing service support.

challenge of decarbonizing heat

Stephen Hart said: "It is clear that heat networks will be one of the key routes to decarbonization. Listening to our customers, it is equally evident that having a single point of contact will help them with the challenge of decarbonizing heat and delivering low-carbon buildings."

He adds, "By offering an end-to-end heat network solutions service backed with expert advice – from design to after-sales support – we can make the process simple, straightforward and successful for our customers."
