Cast iron boilers
Cast iron is a material that has been used for a long time in commercial boilers. Learn how it has developed over time and why it is still a material of choice in the heat exchanger of our boilers.
Changing boilers from atmospheric to condensing
Refurbishing a commercial heating system can bring many challenges. In this article, we're looking at older heating systems and what needs to be considered when preparing them for a change from atmospheric boilers to condensing boilers.
Combine but also separate the old from the new for an efficient heating system
To help support the installation of our latest Stratton mk3 wall-hung condensing boiler onto existing heating systems, we've also introduced a range of Plate Heat Exchangers, for increased boiler protection and performance.
Commercial boiler flue systems
How much do you know about different flue types? We have compiled this page for you to find out more about available flues and what they look like.
Commissioning commercial boilers
Commissioning is an essential procedure to ensure your commercial boilers and/or water heaters have been correctly installed and setup. What does it involve and what other benefits does it offer?
Efficient heating system design with built-in boiler controls
An often overlooked aspect of energy efficiency is correct monitoring of external factors which influence the temperature in a building, understanding the usage of premises and how to set up boiler controls correctly. We look how these can assist to set up an efficient heating system.
Energy legislation
Over the last few years, the government has introduced legislation to achieve carbon savings targets. Do you know which legislation exists? Have a look at this page to learn about it and what's behind the acronyms.
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.
