floors & flooring; fires & fireplaces; heating & renewable energy
With today’s highly efficient homes it’s not always essential, or sometimes even possible to have a gas or wood burning fire fitted. However, if you want the warmth, plus the look and feel of such a fireplace, then an electric suite is perfect for you. The two new Infinity electric fires are based on Charlton & Jenrick’s best-selling gas fires, and are available to fit frameless in the wall or into a fireplace suite. There are infinite possibilities of how you can present these fires. The fires feature the new 3D Ecoflame™ technology from Charlton & Jenrick, which offer a very exciting realistic flame effect with four mood settings.

www.consortepl.com Heat Network Regulations announced
Following Brexit and the appointment of the new Prime Minister, some changes have been announced that affect the Heat Network Metering & Billing Regulations for district and communal heating systems. The regulations were previously enforced by DECC with the National Measurement and Regulations Office (NMRO), which have both now been integrated into the new Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). The purpose of the Heat Network regulations is to allow users of heating, cooling and hot water supplies to be aware of the level of their consumption. The Regulations apply where a payment is made for the supply of heating/cooling. It is the responsibility of building owners, developers and Housing Associations to install meters in each dwelling to accurately measure energy usage, for residents of communal or district schemes. Evinox Energy offers various metering & billing solutions for heat networks and can provide advice and assistance with the regulations.
