Since 1919, Nortek Global HVAC has been a company of problem solvers. We approach heating, ventilation and cooling not by looking at what’s been done, but rather by what our customers need. Sometimes the answers are in the equipment itself, but often times the answers lie outside the box. Literally. You’ll find this fresh approach in how we make the equipment, how we do business and in how we support our customers – from purchase to install and for the life of the product. At Nortek Global HVAC, we manufacture. We engineer. But most of all, we listen.

ErP and what it means for radiant heaters
With the ErP Directive coming into force on 1st January 2018, Daniel Wild, Senior Development Engineer at Nortek Global HVAC explains what it means for radiant heaters going forward.

Crucially, these minimum criteria are applicable for both new installations and when replacing existing products. As a result, customers can be assured that the heating equipment they are purchasing is highly energy efficient and emissions of harmful environmental pollutants are constrained. The Ecodesign regulation (EU) 2015/1188 along with the implementing Directive 2009/125/EC is an EU policy aimed at improving the energy efficiency and other environmental performance criteria for energy-related products (ErP), such as gas fired overhead radiant tube heaters. For this regulation, products have been divided into product groups or ‘Lots’ with gas fired overhead radiant

tube heaters, tube heater systems, and gas fired luminous plaque heaters all contained within Lot 20.
Lot 20 provides the minimum energy efficiency and environmental values for each heating technology. Any product that does not comply with the requirements cannot be marketed and sold within the EU – including the UK. Following the UK referendum to leave the EU, all requirements of Ecodesign will still have to be complied with as it could take up to two years to negotiate an exit. Even then, unless new legislation is introduced, ErP will continue to be one of many methods employed to reduce the environmental impact of heating technology. Unlike other products, gas fired radiant heaters and some other commercial heating appliances are excluded from mandatory energy labelling under Regulation 2015/1186 as they are directly planned and purchased by HVAC professionals. However, product literature and free access websites of manufacturers must indicate the seasonal efficiency and NOx emissions for each product or system.
Nortek, has a wide range of products that already exceed the minimum
