How to find your pump

If you have underfloor heating or radiators, there is at least one circulator in your home. Here are the most common places to find it:

In your technical room

Probably where you also have your washing machine. It is either visible on the piping or inside your boiler, heat pump or central heating unit.

In your basement

Likely where your washing machine is located as well. It can be either visible on the pipes or inside your boiler, heat pump, or central heating unit.

As part of your underfloor heating

Usually there is a separate circulator for your different underfloor sections in the home. Each section has its own circulator in a cabinet where the pipes are connected.

Let’s assess whether you need to replace your circulator pump

On the front of the pump, you’ll see the energy consumption either printed or shown on a display

If your circulator shows energy consumption of more than 5W, it is one of the world’s 200 million inefficient circulators that could be replaced to save energy at home. 

If you can’t find number values, it’s likely your pump runs in the outdated “fixed speed” setting with 1 or 3 modes.

The EU prohibits new sales of these pumps because they’re so inefficient – and we recommend replacing them for optimal home comfort.
