Understanding the Problem

What Is a Heat Interface Unit?

A Heat Interface Unit (HIU) is the device inside your flat that connects it to a communal or district heat network. It transfers heat from the building's central system to deliver your heating and hot water โ€” without the need for an individual boiler.

HIUs are standard in modern apartment buildings, mixed-use developments, student accommodation, housing association properties and district heating schemes across London. If you live in a flat built after 2000, you almost certainly have one.

When an HIU develops a fault, it can affect your hot water, your heating, or both. Because most plumbers and boiler engineers have limited HIU experience, faults are frequently misdiagnosed โ€” or worse, dismissed entirely. Our engineers are trained specifically on HIU systems.

Important: If a standard boiler engineer has told you "nothing is wrong" with your heating system, it's likely because they couldn't find a boiler โ€” not because the HIU is fine. Always use an HIU specialist.

Common Problems

HIU Faults We Fix

No hot water or poor hot water temperature
Heating not working in the flat
HIU making unusual noises
Low or fluctuating pressure
Leaking HIU components
HIU displaying a fault code or error
Hot water temperature inconsistent
Heating on but no hot water (or vice versa)
HIU cutting out intermittently
Slow hot water recovery time

Temperature sensor accuracy and response
Incoming primary flow temperature and pressure
HIU controller fault codes and settings
Strainer/filter blockage
