A bundle integrating the Passiv Smart Thermostat with Haier heat pumps will be exclusively available from Plumb Centre.
The collaboration means Haier customers can benefit from intelligent, heat pump specific controls straight out of the box. The Passiv Smart Thermostat delivers effortless comfort through its dedicated app and award-winning in-home controls, while improving efficiency by 17%—as verified by the Energy Saving Trust. It can also optimise energy use in line with time-of-use tariffs and rooftop solar generation.
For installers, the partnership reduces complexity on-site, making heat pump installation quicker and easier. The Passiv Smart Thermostat removes the need to configure a weather compensation curve, saving time and reducing setup errors.
Ian Rose, Sales and Strategy Director at Passiv UK, said: “This partnership is about making smart, low-carbon heating simple and accessible. Haier’s scale and competitiveness in the heat pump market, combined with seamless Passiv integration, means more households can benefit from lower bills, smarter control and future-ready flexibility, without added complexity.”
The offer of an exclusive Haier and Passiv Smart Thermostat bundle forms part of Wolseley’s (the parent company of Plumb Centre) ongoing commitment to support installers through the energy transition by offering state of the art innovation.
Alex Andreou, Commercial Director at Plumb Centre, said: “Installers want heat pump systems that are easy to commission and even easier for customers to understand. This Haier and Passiv partnership removes friction on both sides. With Plumb Centre’s national reach and technical support, we’re helping the trade deliver simpler installs with demonstrable customer value.”
Dimos Vasilakis, Head of HVAC UK and ROI at Haier, said: “Our focus has always been on delivering highly efficient, easy-to-use heat pumps. By partnering with Passiv, we’re taking that a step further – giving customers intelligent control that maximises performance while keeping things simple.”
