ErP-compliant boilers
The Energy-related Products Directive was one of the major legislations which has almost eradicated atmospheric boilers from the market. Learn more about the directive and its requirements here.
ErP-compliant cast iron boiler
Think the Energy-related Products Directive saw the end of cast iron boilers? Our cast iron boilers changed this, they can not only condense but are also ErP compliant. Find out how we've achieved this.
Exploring the options and benefits of a modular boiler system
The efficiencies of modern modular condensing boilers compared with older atmospheric boilers have improved vastly over the last 40-50 years. By dividing output capacity with greater fuel efficiency, this means that there is often the opportunity to reduce the total number of boilers used in an installation.
For an efficient, space-saving solution, the only way is Upton
With challenges such as financial demands and space constraints being a key consideration for many heating and hot water projects, compact modular condensing boilers such as the Upton boiler from Hamworthy is a game changer for both commercial new build and refurbishment projects alike.
Heat Pumps Role in the Net Zero Goal
The UK Government has a net zero goal in place for 2050, which requires greenhouse gas emissions to be reduced to as close to zero as possible, with any remaining being balanced out by removing an equivalent amount.
How does a calorifier work?
Find out how a calorifier, or indirect fired hot water cylinder, works as part of an indirect fired hot water system.
How to Maximise Energy Efficiency from Heat Pump Systems
The energy efficiency of air source heat pumps is not in doubt; they are up to three times as efficient as a gas boiler. But to maximise the energy efficiency of a commercial heat pump solution, there are four key aspects that need careful consideration: building fabric, building services, heat pump system design, and usage.
How to size a low loss header
Understand how to size a low loss header to maximise efficiency in residential and commercial heating systems
Hydraulic separation in heating systems
When it comes to refurbishments, it is important to protect new equipment. This can be done by hydraulically separating the primary and secondary circuit. We look at different methods to achieve this.
