Passiv UK and Ample have partnered to ensure heat pumps installed through Ample are intelligently controlled, remotely monitored, and optimised for every home.
As part of the partnership, Ample has selected the Passiv Smart Thermostat as its preferred smart controls provider for all Ample-backed heat pump installations. Passiv’s technology will enable compatible heat pumps to be optimised, including making use of time-of-use electricity tariffs and rooftop solar generation where available.
Ample will also use Passiv’s remote monitoring capabilities, the Passiv Portal, across its heat pump installations, providing visibility of system performance after installation and helping ensure systems continue to operate as expected. This enables issues and opportunities to be identified remotely, reducing unnecessary callouts and helping systems to be supported more effectively.
Ample’s approach is about giving homeowners and installers greater support throughout the whole life of a system, not just the installation. That makes this partnership a natural fit. Ongoing support with Passiv’s smart controls and remote monitoring will help ensure every installation is set up correctly and continues to perform at its best.Ian Rose, Managing Director at Passiv UK
With the Passiv Smart Thermostat, homeowners remain in control through the Passiv Programmer, Thermostats and app, while Ample installers and support teams can access system information remotely through the Passiv Portal.
The Passiv Smart Thermostat’s ecoHeat function has been verified by the Energy Saving Trust to improve heat pump efficiency by 17% and can reduce household heating bills by up to 30%. Additional savings can be achieved through Passiv’s smart tariff optimisation, solar integration, and through participation in demand-side response programmes through Passiv’s flexibility service, Greener Grid Payments. The Passiv Smart Thermostat is compatible with 20 leading heat pump brands.
We want to ensure the transition to a heat pump is as straightforward as possible for both homeowners and installers. Passiv stood out to us because of its ability to intelligently optimise heat pumps for the home and for its powerful remote monitoring capabilities. Bringing those smart controls together gives us the tools we need to guarantee homeowners a truly delightful experience with their heat pump long after installation.Alex Godsell, Co-founder of Ample
