INDUSTRY NEWS Fleet range


qualifies for ECA Hamworthy’s latest range of boilers, launched in March this year, has been included on the government’s Energy Technology List (ETL), providing significant financial advantages for purchasers through the government’s Enhanced Capital Allowances (ECA) scheme. All Fleet condensing modular boilers, up to 150kW module size, now qualify for Enhanced Capital Allowances, providing modular solutions from 40kW to 450kW output. The ECA scheme is a key part of the government’s programme to manage climate change and is designed to encourage investment in energy-saving equipment. Meeting the scheme’s eligibility criteria, the inclusion of the Fleet boiler range on the Energy Technology List is a reflection of its high performance, exceeding the minimum thermal efficiency requirements by some margin. At the heart of the Fleet is Hamworthy’s new sectional heat exchanger, which allows each product to be easily configured. It also delivers high efficiency condensing performance up to 109 per cent net efficiency. For more information call 0845 450 2865, email sales@hamworthy- heating.com or visit www.hamworthy-heating.com.

Stelrad Radiators is celebrating confirmation that it produces most installers’ favourite radiators. The result of research carried out earlier this year by a leading sector publication with a random sample of nearly 150 installers came up with some very positive results that seem to suggest that pretty much every installer has installed Stelrad radiators at some stage in their careers. Asked what the most important

Asked to list the brand of radiator they trusted most, 78 per cent mentioned Stelrad in some way, be it through the actual name or an Ideal Stelrad Group brand. For more information call 0870 849 8058 or visit www.stelrad.com.
