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.
Changing heating system design with wide temperature differentials
Wider temperature differentials are increasingly used to design commercial heating systems. We investigate how this affects heating system performance and what you need to understand when designing these systems.
Cleaner Heat Cashback
The Government has introduced a commercial boiler scrappage scheme for London to cut carbon and NOx emissions in the capital to improve air quality and energy efficiency in non-domestic buildings. We take a look at the criteria for a replacement, how the application works and how you can become a Hamworthy-approved installer.
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.
Condition Improvement Fund
Looking to fund your school boiler refurbishment? The Condition Improvement Fund could be right for you. Learn more about how it works, who is eligible and what projects can be funded.
Driving condensing boiler efficiency
In 2015, we saw the introduction of the Energy-related Products Directive. What is the aim of this legislation and what impact does it have on the commercial heating and hot water market?
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.
Energy Technology List
You can benefit from tax deductions if you decide to invest in energy saving heating equipment. The Energy Technology List tells you which products are eligible. Learn more about it and which products are eligible for Enhanced Capital Allowances.
ErP Directive for water heaters
The ErP Directive does not only affect boilers but also water heaters. The requirements are not limited to energy efficiency and noise levels. Read our article to find out more.
