What Sunvic does
Sunvic is a privately-held UK heating controls manufacturer operating from a registered office in Hamilton, Scotland (Sunvic Innovations Ltd) and a corporate headquarters in Covent Garden, London (Sunvic Group Ltd). The company designs, sources, and sells a focused portfolio of approximately 22 products covering the hydronic heating control stack: motorized zone valves (2-port and 3-port, in 15mm-1" BSP and compression variants), valve actuators and synchronous motors, digital programmable timeswitches (SUNPRO1000-V2 single channel, SUNPRO2000-V2 two channel), dial and wireless room thermostats (ZEN B/F, TL One, SRF1KIT), and a Bluetooth-enabled thermostatic radiator valve (SYNCTRV). The product line is CE and UKCA certified and built around industry standard backplates for compatibility with existing residential and light-commercial hydronic heating systems.
The company's technology footprint is electromechanical rather than software-defined. Differentiators cited in the data include the Bluetooth-connected SYNCTRV TRV, the SRF1KIT wireless thermostat with 2-year battery life, and a 5-year warranty on the SUNPRO2000-V2 programmable timer. The SYNCTRV represents a first step into connected/smart heating, but there is no disclosed AI, no mobile application, and no API or SDK offering. Products are designed and specified primarily for replacement and new-build residential heating installations rather than large-scale commercial BMS integration.
Sunvic operates a dual-channel go-to-market model combining a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront (sunvic.co.uk/shop) with an authorized UK distributor network including Stearn Glasgow (West Scotland) and H&V North (North/Midlands). Revenue is generated entirely through one-time hardware sales, with no subscription, software, or service component, at unit price points ranging from approximately £15 for a synchronous motor to over £130 for complete valve assemblies with actuators and connected TRVs. End customers are split between residential homeowners purchasing replacement or upgrade components and heating engineers/installers specifying products for new installations. The company is privately funded with no disclosed institutional investors, no disclosed revenue, and no disclosed headcount, and the website currently displays a 'site undergoing updates' banner alongside the relaunched Sunvic Group identity.
