This is the Greener Pod.
The Greener Pod is a factory-assembled, weather-rated housing designed to protect the heating plant while keeping a compact 0.7 m² footprint. The hot-water cylinder, hydraulics and controls are built and tested together in the factory, then delivered as one unit — so the installer connects it rather than building a plant room on site.
A plant room, built in a factory.
Built and tested
Cylinder, pumps, valves, expansion and controls assembled and quality-checked before it leaves us.
0.7 m² outside
1800 × 1000 × 700 mm, sited outside or in a suitable garage — no airing cupboard lost indoors.
Weather-rated
Insulated envelope, frost-protection heater and a lockable full-front door for service access.
About the size of a slim wardrobe.
It stands 1.8 m tall and takes up 0.7 m² of ground — roughly a wheelie bin and a half — so it fits along a side return, against a garage wall or at the end of a driveway.
Anthracite or walnut, no extra cost.
Vertical slatted cladding with aluminium capping, designed for a 30-year life. Choose either finish at no additional cost. Smart Status Lights, a discreet light strip that shows the system is running, can be added for £349.
Nobody builds a car on the driveway.
A traditional heat pump plant room is assembled from loose parts in a cupboard, in the cold, under time pressure. The Pod moves that work into a controlled environment where every unit is built and checked the same way — leaving the installer to connect flow, return, water and power.
