New-build and self-build heating
Build the heating into the plan, not as an afterthought.
Send your plans early and Nimbus can help shape the heating before the build gets expensive to change: heat pumps, underfloor heating, hot water, controls, zoning and boiler options where needed.

Decisions that save money later
The best time to fix heating problems is before they are built in.
New homes should feel warm, easy to control and sensible to run. That means thinking about hot water, flow temperatures, room comfort, controls, pipe runs and service access before the first-fix stage is gone.
Heat pump ready from day one
Choose the heat source, cylinder space, emitters and controls before floors and walls make changes expensive.
UFH, zoning and comfort
Underfloor heating can be planned with the floor build-up, manifold locations and room controls instead of being forced in late.
Hot water and cylinder planning
Cylinder position, recovery expectations, pipe runs and family use are planned alongside the heat source.
Gas or LPG options where they fit
Some projects still need a gas or LPG boiler. Nimbus can keep that option clean while protecting future low-temperature choices.
What to send
What helps Nimbus price your system properly.
You do not need every answer on day one. Plans, floor build-ups, plant-space ideas and programme dates are usually enough for Nimbus to guide the next step.
Project detail 1
Plans, room schedule and intended floor build-ups.
Project detail 2
Preferred heat source, fuel availability and hot water expectations.
Project detail 3
UFH zones, manifold locations, cylinder position and plant space.
Project detail 4
Build stage, builder contact point and target installation window.
Project detail 5
Photos, drawings or sketches of proposed heating areas where available.
Start the plan
Send the project basics.
Use the form for first contact, then send plans or photos by WhatsApp if you have them. Nimbus can then tell you whether the next step is a quote, a site visit or a narrower UFH, heat pump or boiler discussion.
New-build heating FAQs
When should a self-builder talk to Nimbus about heating?
As early as possible, ideally before floor build-up, plant space, cylinder location and pipe runs are fixed. Early design avoids expensive compromises later.
Is a heat pump the default for a new-build home?
It is often a strong option because new homes can be designed for lower flow temperatures from the start, but the final choice still depends on the project, budget, hot water demand and planning constraints.
Can Nimbus plan underfloor heating for a new-build?
Yes. Water-based underfloor heating is often worth considering early for new-builds and self-builds, especially where comfort, open-plan rooms and heat pump readiness matter.
Can the quote include grant support?
Only where the property, technology, design and live official criteria support it. Nimbus checks the MCS-supported process and current scheme position before showing any quote deduction.
