  • Is Microgeneration the new clean revolution?
    The Millennium Goals brought about a great wave of change to the ways in which countries go about conducting their internal and external policies - the UK included. Paradoxically Goal 7, which strives to alert countries to the importance of ensuring environmental sustainability, has been shrouded in controversy. While many perceive it as an idealistic stab at launching a green revolution, no individual has volunteered to take up the sword of microgeneration and lead the rest in to battle, rather looking at governments to take action.
  • Building Regulations Part L to Help Reduce Carbon Emissions
    Part L was introduced as part of the 2005 Building Regulations and it set a new standard with regards to energy efficiency. It called for all new boilers installed or replaced to meet the required standards for achieving high efficiency rating. Boilers such as condensing and combination (also known as 'combi') boilers which use extra large heat exchanger or a secondary heat exchanger qualify for this requirement. By extracting the heat from previously expelled gases, the high efficiency boilers reduce the required fuel to generate the same about of heat.
  • Pressurized Cylinders Offer Convenient Domestic Water Heating
    Pressurised cylinders were introduced to the UK market as long ago as the 1980s. They are often referred to as unvented cylinders and are proving to be highly popular. Their popularity is evident both in the domestic market and the professional space with plumbing and heating engineers. In 2007 unvented systems accounted for around 50% of the installed systems for the first time.
  • Boiler Servicing is Crucial for Safe Operations
    Most people know the importance of servicing your boiler to maintain a healthy central heating system. One way of ensuring the user sticks to the schedule of periodic servicing is to use the service interval time controls as a reminder, to ensure they keep to the recommended servicing schedule.
  • Sun's Energy - Sustainable Fuel for PV Solar Panels
    Solar Photovoltaic cells (Solar PV) are effectively panels that absorb the sun's light (which is actually made of many tiny units of energy) and convert it via a sophisticated system of silicon wafers into an electrical current that can then be used to power up your home, office or electrical appliances directly. Although not yet highly visible in the UK domestic market, solar PV panels are already very common in calculators and watches (albeit in a much smaller size). The larger solar panels are getting increasingly more efficient and are now used to generate power for private homes, large office buildings and other commercial installations.
  • Plumbers' Vans - the Giant Leap Forward
    In years gone by your typical plumber would show up in his old white van, most likely a Ford Transit with a rusty wheel arch and a few scratches and scuffs down the side. Things have moved a long way since then, and today's plumbers are spoilt for choice for well engineered, fully customisable and well priced vans. Plumbers looking for a new van will notice that the competition has brought a wide range of vans which are comfortable, well designed and are easy to drive.
  • Install a TMV and Avoid Hot Water Scalding at Home
    It has happened to all of us, you turn on the hot water tap just to get a scalding flow of very hot water from the tap. The pain and sensitive skin that follows is the lowest level of injuries that are caused every year in the UK from overheated water, which in extreme cases leads to fatal injuries.
