As heat pumps become an increasingly popular choice for energy-efficient heating, many people are looking for the best way to maximise their performance.

Using SPC Fan Convectors with Heat Pumps
For SPC Fan Convectors to work optimally with heat pumps, they require our enhanced coil. Our traditional standard coil are designed for higher-temperature boiler systems, typically around 80°C. However, as more buildings transition to lower temperature hot water (LTHW) systems, efficiently generated by heat pumps and condensing boilers, SPC has developed enhanced coils that provide effective heat output even at these reduced temperatures. Choosing the right heat emitter is crucial for maximising a heat pump’s efficiency, and SPC Fan Convectors offer fast, responsive, and energy-efficient heating that perfectly complements modern heat pump technology.
Why Choose SPC Fan Convectors for Heat Pumps?
Heat pumps operate at lower flow temperatures than traditional boilers, requiring heat emitters that can effectively distribute warmth at these lower temperatures. SPC Fan Convectors are designed to do just that, offering several benefits:
- Flexible Installation Options – SPC Fan Convectors can be installed in a variety of ways, including low-level floor or wall mounting (exposed, cased, recessed, or concealed), horizontal or ceiling installation, and high-level wall mounting for downward airflow.
- Energy-Efficient EC/DC Fan Motors – All SPC Belgravia Fan Convectors utilise energy-efficient EC/DC fan motors, significantly reducing overall running costs and providing long-term savings.
- Low Surface Temperature (LST) Control System – Designed with safety in mind, SPC Fan Convectors include an Active LST control system to ensure surface temperatures remain below 43°C, making them ideal for environments with vulnerable occupants, such as schools and healthcare settings.
- Enhanced Fresh Air Control – Certain SPC Fan Convectors are designed not only to provide heat but also to manage fresh air efficiently, meeting regulatory requirements such as BB93, BB101, and EFA FOS.
SPC’s Advanced Proportional Controller – Modulo v3
For even greater energy efficiency and control, SPC offers the Modulo v3 Proportional Controller, designed specifically for fan-assisted heaters requiring precise airside control via 0 to 10V analogue signals.
Key Features of the Modulo v3:
- Energy Saving – Proportional speed control optimises fan performance for maximum efficiency.
- Precise Thermostatic Control – Ensures enhanced comfort with accurate temperature regulation.
- Automatic Fan Speed Control – Adjusts Fan Convector speed based on the difference between sensed and setpoint temperature.
- User-Friendly Thermostat Interface – Simple touch activation and adjustments for effortless control.
- Tamperproof Security Option – A ventilated, lockable, transparent cover is available to restrict thermostat access when needed.
- Optional Relay Box for On/Off Control – Provides additional control over water valves in heating systems.
