Country houses and period homes are beautiful, quaint and offer a peaceful and convenient living environment. However, as they are usually old and large, they might not be well-equipped to deal with extremely cold winters.Â
To avoid having a chilly and uncomfortable living situation during the winter season, you need to take a few essential precautions to heat your country house. There are several heating options that can help to keep you warm and ensure maximum comfort for you and your family.
As one of the leading manufacturers of renewable energy heating systems in the UK, our experts at JL Phillips can provide you with a wide range of green heating solutions.Â
In this article, we’ve compiled a list of a few helpful country home heating tips to help you have a warm and toasty winter.
Let’s have a look.
1. Install a Heat Pump
When it comes to heating period homes and country houses, heat pumps are one of the best green heating options for you. You can choose to install a ground source or air source heat pump, depending on the architecture and nature of your property. While ground-source heat pumps are often the better option for country houses, they do occupy a lot of space compared to ASHPs.
Domestic air source heat pumps carry heat from the air outside to your home’s central heating system. These heat pumps can also be used for water heating and they are compatible with various types of heating systems. Aside from being highly effective, ASHPs are also energy efficient and can help to lower your energy bills.
Our experts at JL Phillips are one of the best ASHP providers in the country. We can provide you with high-quality, green and energy-efficient heating solutions for your country house.

2. Install Underfloor Heating
Over recent years, underfloor heating has become one of the most popular heating systems for houses. This kind of heating system provides several benefits, including space-saving and gentle, consistent heating. This renewable and energy-efficient heating system is also suitable for all types of properties.
In underfloor heating systems, warm water is circulated through a series of flexible and strong tubes that are installed under your floors. This heating reaches every corner of the room, covering a large surface area and providing you with warm floors throughout your country house.
Underfloor heating systems are safe, healthy and environmentally friendly. As the tubes are installed beneath the floor, there are no hot and sharp edges and they don’t cause any space constraints. At JL Phillips, our underfloor heating systems can also be installed along with our ASHPs as they work well together.Â

3. Install a Biomass Boiler
A biomass boiler is an efficient heating system that uses organic materials like wood pellets, chips, or logs in a wood-burning stove or boiler to generate heat. The fuel for biomass boilers can be bought in bulk or in small quantities and stored in your home’s garage. You can also choose your preferred type of fuel depending on factors such as availability of space, storage facilities and cost.
There are numerous benefits to installing biomass boilers, which makes them a great heating solution for your country house or period home. This heating system not only offers an efficient and low-carbon form of heating but also gives you the ability to control the budget for your heating costs.
Our biomass boilers can be manually fed or fully automated and they can also be easily plumbed into your existing central heating system. What’s more, if your country house is located in a rural area and has no connection to the gas grid, installing a biomass boiler could also make you eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS).
