Panasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions wowed the crowd at InstallerSHOW 2024 with its latest innovations, new partnerships, and significant investments in UK training centres. These efforts are set to revolutionise and speed up the UK's journey to Net Zero.

Over the past three decades, EnviroVent has partnered with social housing providers to solve issues of condensation and mould, providing turnkey solutions from property survey to installation and servicing, utilising directly employed engineers, a unique offering in the market.
EnviroVent historically recognised that social housing providers required an indoor air quality solution, long lasting and future proofed, for both existing housing stock and new build. By the early 2000s, the company developed the Lifetime Range® of sustainable ventilation solutions to last the lifespan of the property. This included the patented Filterless Extract Fan range, which won the Queen’s Award for innovation and has sold over two million units into the UK market to date.

Thermal Stores have been an effective and highly efficient hot water solution in the UK for almost 40 years. However, many installers today revert to recommending an unvented cylinder solution for mains pressure hot water, mainly due to a lack of awareness and understanding of thermal store technology.
McDonald Water Storage have seen thermal store popularity rise however, particularly in apartment applications, as they overcome many of the frustrations both installers and housing providers have with unvented cylinder installations, including the hidden costs of the difficult G3 requirements and ongoing annual maintenance.
Leading British ventilation manufacturer Vent-Axia has launched its new Lo-Carbon Revive 7 fan raising the bar on energy efficiency for social housing providers.

This gives social housing landlords confidence that the new Lo-Carbon Revive 7 can tackle the issues of condensation and mould, while improving the efficiency of housing stock and comfort for residents. Meanwhile, its new slimmer profile means the Revive 7 is even easier to install in a wider range of locations.
