    A Top Selection Of Central Heating Pumps, Pump Valves & More

    From union connector kits and mounting brackets to top-of-the-range circulating pumps, we’ve got it all!

    Domestic & Commercial Central Heating Pumps

    We stock over 50 models of circulating pumps, ranging from compact domestic circulators to heavy-duty commercial units. These pumps are designed to ensure efficient water circulation in sealed heating systems, underfloor heating, potable hot water circuits, and other applications.

    Best-selling domestic heating pump models include:

    Popular commercial heating pump models include:

    Whether you're replacing a worn-out unit or specifying for a new build, you'll find options with variable speed control, compact sizing, and top-tier energy efficiency ratings.

    Replacement Pump Heads

    Replacement pump heads provide a cost-effective solution when the motor or internal components fail, but the pump body remains in good condition. This allows for quicker repairs without removing existing pipework. Options include the BritTherm H2 15/6 Replacement Pump Head and the Archergas GCR15 Replacement Pump Head, all designed for compatibility with common domestic systems.

    Pump Valves

    Pump valves are essential for isolating the pump during installation, servicing or replacement, helping to minimise system drainage and disruption. Our range includes Pump Gate Valves in 22mm and 28mm sizes, Screwdriver Operated Slotted Pump Ball Valves for secure isolation, and Butterfly Handle Ball Pump Valves for quick operation. Lever handle options are also available for larger connections.

    Pressurisation & Booster Pumps

    Pressurisation and booster pumps are used to maintain water pressure in heating and hot water systems, particularly in larger properties or systems with high demand. Products such as the BritTherm B1 25/4-130 Booster Pump and BritTherm W1 series booster pumps provide consistent pressure support, helping to improve system performance and water delivery.

    Pump Extensions

    Pump extensions are used where additional clearance is required during installation, allowing for easier alignment with existing pipework. Options include the Pump Extension 1.1/2" M/F x 25mm and 50mm variants, both supplied with washers for a secure and reliable connection.

    Mounting Brackets

    Mounting brackets provide additional support for pipework and pumps, helping to ensure a stable and secure installation. Available in sizes such as 22mm and 28mm, these brackets are designed to simplify installation and improve long-term system reliability.

    Pump Unions & Connector Kits

    Pump unions and connector kits allow for secure and removable connections between pumps and pipework. Our range includes standard Pump Unions with Nut & Gasket, as well as specialist options such as Wilo Union Connector Kits for commercial pumps, designed to suit larger installations and specific connection requirements.

    Gaskets, Washers & Nuts

    Reliable sealing components are essential to prevent leaks and maintain system pressure. We stock a range of consumables suitable for pump installation and servicing. This includes EPDM Pump Washers, Fibre Pump Gaskets and Brass Pump Nuts, all designed to provide a tight, durable seal across a variety of applications.

    How To Choose The Correct Central Heating Pump

    Choosing the right central heating pump depends on the system size, the pipework layout and the required flow rate. One of the most important factors is the pump head, which refers to the maximum height to which the pump can circulate water effectively. It is also important to match connection sizes, installation length (commonly 130 mm or 180 mm), and power supply. Always check the specifications of the existing pump when replacing it with a like-for-like.

    For most domestic properties, a 5m or 6m head pump is sufficient, with 5m typically suitable for smaller homes or simple heating systems, and 6m better suited to standard three to four-bedroom properties. Larger properties or systems with more complex layouts, such as underfloor heating or multiple zones, may require 7m or 8m head pumps to maintain consistent performance.

    Replacing A Central Heating Pump

    When replacing a central heating pump, it is important to match the key specifications of the existing unit, including pump head, connection size and installation length. Many modern pumps are designed as direct replacements for older models, making upgrades straightforward. In some cases, replacing only the pump head can be a more cost-effective option, particularly where the existing pump body and pipework are still in good condition. Replacement heads from brands such as BritTherm and Archergas provide a practical solution for quick repairs and maintenance.

    Grundfos vs Wilo vs DAB vs BritTherm Pumps

    When selecting a central heating pump, different brands offer varying features depending on the application and budget.

    Grundfos pumps are widely regarded for their build quality, energy efficiency and advanced features such as AUTOADAPT, making them a popular choice for both domestic and commercial systems.

    Wilo pumps are known for their reliability and strong performance in commercial environments, with a wide range of high-capacity and twin-head pumps for larger systems.

    DAB offers a balance of performance and value, with efficient circulators suited to domestic and light commercial applications.

    Trade-focused brands such as BritTherm and Archergas provide cost-effective alternatives, ideal for straightforward replacements or budget-conscious projects while still delivering dependable performance.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What size central heating pump do I need?

    The size of the central heating pump required depends on the system layout, property size and pipework resistance. For most homes, a 5m or 6m head pump is suitable. Larger systems, underfloor heating or properties with multiple zones may require a 7m or 8m head pump to maintain consistent water circulation.

    What is the difference between a 5m and 6m pump head?

    The pump head refers to the maximum height or resistance the pump can overcome when circulating water. A 6m pump head provides greater pressure than a 5m model, making it better suited to larger systems or more complex pipework layouts.

    Which central heating pump brand is best?

    Leading brands such as Grundfos, Wilo and DAB are all widely used across the trade, with each offering reliable and energy-efficient options. Grundfos is known for advanced features and efficiency, Wilo for strong commercial performance, and DAB for balancing value and reliability. Trade-focused brands such as BritTherm provide cost-effective alternatives for straightforward installations and replacements.

    What does ErP 2015 mean for central heating pumps?

    ErP 2015 refers to energy efficiency regulations that require modern central heating pumps to use less electricity.

    Can I replace just the pump head?

    Yes, in many cases, the pump head can be replaced without removing the full pump assembly.

    How do I replace a central heating pump?

    Replacing a central heating pump involves isolating the system, draining the necessary section and fitting a new unit that matches the existing specifications, including head, connection size and installation length.

    Are central heating pumps suitable for underfloor heating?

    Yes, many central heating pumps are suitable for underfloor heating systems, particularly those with higher head ratings or variable speed control.

    What is the difference between domestic and commercial heating pumps?

    Domestic pumps are typically compact and designed for smaller systems with lower flow requirements, while commercial pumps are built for larger systems, offering higher capacity, greater pressure and more robust construction.

    Do you offer next day delivery on central heating pumps?

    BES offers next working day delivery on a wide range of central heating pumps and accessories, with free UK delivery available on qualifying orders. Click & Collect options are also available for added convenience.
