The Best Heating Options for Extensions and Garden Rooms
Extensions and garden rooms are often the coldest spaces in a property — especially when connected to older heating systems.
Many homeowners discover that extending existing pipework is expensive, inefficient and disruptive.

Adding radiators to an existing boiler system can:
- Reduce efficiency

- Operate independently
- Work well in occasional-use rooms

- App-based control
- Reduced wasted energy
