Heat Network Technologies & Design Support

SAV Systems is a long-standing leader in the UK’s heat network sector, not just as a technology supplier, but as a solutions partner, working with local authorities, housing developers, and ESCOs to deliver low-carbon, high-performance communal and district heating schemes.

SAV connects UK clients directly to market-leading manufacturers of specialist components from across Europe, providing access to the best-performing technologies in the industry, combined with expert support to ensure they’re applied effectively.

TRUSTED HEAT NETWORK PRODUCTS. DIRECT FROM LEADING MANUFACTURERS

SAV works exclusively with manufacturers who specialise in their core technologies, and who are widely regarded as best-in-class across Europe.

Danfoss is a global leader in energy-efficient heating solutions, supplying trusted technologies for communal and district heat networks. Their flagship product, the Danfoss FlatStation Heat Interface Unit (HIU), is the most widely installed HIU in the UK, known for enabling low return temperatures and precise control in residential applications.

In addition to HIUs, Danfoss manufactures a full range of pre-fabricated district heating substations for larger buildings and commercial-scale systems. These compact, high-performance units support efficient heat transfer and hydraulic balancing across a wide range of flow temperatures.

All Danfoss products for heat networks are designed and manufactured in-house in Denmark, ensuring premium build quality and consistency. Their broader portfolio includes pressure-independent control valves and TRVS (PICVs & PI-TRVs), balancing valves, and smart temperature controls, these are essential components for optimising the efficiency and reliability of heat networks.
