Sunamp thermal batteries are a low carbon, reliable, space-saving alternative to traditional hot water cylinders.
Lower emissions
You’ll cut carbon emissions and reduce maintenance costs across your housing stock.
Quick installation
Tried and tested in high-rise apartments and low-density housing in the UK, installation is quick and there’s no need for residents to move out.
Scalable
Ideal for large-scale retrofit or new-build projects where space is at a premium.
Space-saving: up to x4 smaller than hot water cylinder being replaced
There’s often limited space inside homes which rules out installing bulky hot-water systems (and the associated pipework) when looking to replace gas boilers.
The solution is an integrated system with a Sunamp thermal battery fitting neatly in a closet and being charged by grid electricity.
Energy efficiency improves by storing heat generated when electricity is cheaper and releasing it when it is needed. Residents enjoy hot water on demand while using less fossil fuel.
Instead of having the old boiler in the kitchen, you’ve got this new technology in the cupboard. It’s unobtrusive and it works. And that’s the bottom line.

Lower maintenance costs
Thermal batteries require no regulatory annual maintenance – unlike domestic gas boilers and unvented cylinders – and greatly simplify installation.
No legionella testing is needed since each battery holds less than 1 gallon of water.
What’s more, the batteries’ compact size releases storage space in each home which helps you meet mandatory space standards.
