Grant Vortex boiler, Two DualStream units and Hometronic
Our client, a farm near Tadworth, Surrey, had an older boiler running two gravity hot water cylinders. The spacious house had a fully equipped annexe with its own hot water provision. We specifified two DualStream accumulator fed systems, which would replace the old noisy shower pumps and provide a silent, fast flow fresh water service to all outlets. In the main house we relocated the hot and cold water services into an attic room, to liberate more room downstairs for a bedroom enlargement. The other DualStream was sited in the annexe. The whole system was powered by a new Grant […]

Our client wanted a reliable, energy efficient solution, with low emissions and a long service life. A Kidd Model 2 was specified, together with the Kidd seam welded aluminium flue, to pass up inside the existing chimney.
