Electric heating is continually becoming an increasingly viable option for heating properties in the UK. New Government legislation heralds a change in how SAP determines a properties ERP Rating – to almost the same as gas. This change allows widespread use of electric radiators and electric boilers, which are widely understood as having low installation costs, no flue requirement, low maintenance, rapid heat up times and high efficiency. This modern method of heating is shaping up to be a popular choice for the future of home heating within the UK.

Electric Heating Systems are 100% efficient at the point of use. If you pay for 1kW of electricity, you will benefit from 1kW of heat. This is much higher than alternatives which can lose heat through flues etc. When paired with solar PV panels, efficiency of electric heating systems improves, and the carbon dioxide produced reduces.

Managing the housing stock of a tenant population comes with its own unique set of challenges. In relation to heating and hot water, many of these challenges arise because of a lack of visibility into what is happening within the full heating ecosystem. Constant visits and calls to every household to assess the situation isn’t practical or cost effective, paving the way for connected appliances and remote monitoring.

The new Logic2 range has launched with a range of new features and components that:

1. Make Logic2 even easier for your engineers to install and service

2. Reduce the number of unnecessary engineer call outs

Over the next few years, the prevalence of low-carbon heating technologies will rise significantly, bringing big changes in how the UK’s buildings are heated. Hydrogen is one of the key energy sources forming part of this conversation.
The UK Hydrogen Strategy gives clear direction on the Government’s commitment to the role this low carbon fuel source can play in meeting its target of becoming net zero by 2050 and builds on ambitions previously outlined in the Government’s 10-Point Plan and Energy White Paper. However, it highlights the uncertainty remaining on the scale and demand we can expect to see in the future, with hydrogen expected to form between 20-35% of the UK's energy consumption by 2050 and no final decision on the role of hydrogen in buildings until 2026 after the hydrogen village trial in 2025.

Navien has launched Navien Choice – a fantastic new loyalty scheme open to all oil and gas boiler installers. There is a whole catalogue of high quality rewards available, from wireless speakers and pizza ovens, through to PlayStation 5 consoles, iPhones and holiday vouchers – as well as barbeques, perfect for the summer months. Installers can sign up at www.navienchoice.com to immediately start benefitting from the scheme.

A Yorkshire-based boiler manufacturer has overtaken the competition and developed a stainless steel gas boiler flue suitable for use in high-rise buildings.
 
Sime Ltd has responded to the new ‘Class A’ requirements in line with the revised Building Regulations relating to fire safety and is pleased to announce that its stainless steel flues are now available.

Since its launch in February 2011, Evomax has established itself as the commercial boiler of choice in the UK. Following on from this success, Ideal Commercial are very proud to announce the launch of Evomax 2.
