Condensing boiler in cellar and chimney liner
Over to the picturesque Sussex town of Horsham, where we have a beautiful listed residence in the protected heritage quarter of the town. British Gas condemned the old floorstanding Potterton boiler in the cellar, and they and other contractors suggested that the only solution was the relocation of a new boiler at the other end of the house, involving unsightly pipework throughout. The existing defunct boiler was flued up a very old chimney weaving through 3 floors; we suggested fitting a new Viessmann Compact 26Kw boiler in the cellar. The existing system was very old, the cylinder was around 60 […]
Kent Church has a new condensing boiler
Our photo shows Dan in contemplation, in the graveyard of St John the Evangelist, in Hildenborough, Kent. Actually, he’s assisting in a purging operation at the gas meter box. This church, constructed over 100 years ago, was heated by an old 86kW Ideal Buccaneer commercial boiler. The boiler had a reputation for breaking down in the hour of need (eg: coldest days of winter) and the management team had found the only way to minimise the chances of failure was to have the boiler on in periods of the summer. The heating was controlled by a bewildering set of high/low […]
Major refurbishment in Woldingham, Surrey
Our client has bought a 1960s house in the well regarded village of Woldingham, Surrey, and embarked on a major remodelling of all services and interiors. When finished, the building will incorporate a modern kitchen, and comprehensively remodelled interiors. We have assisted our customer in the selection of the heating system, but they have also contributed much to the specification, including the innovative Jaga Strada ‘low H20’ high efficiency radiators. HWCH will be fitting a large underfloor heating grid on the ground floor, a 46Kw Viessmann 200 series light commercial boiler, accumulator boosted DualStream hot and cold water system, all controlled […]
Large Viessmann and underfloor heating in Woldingham
This customer was having a large extension fitted on the rear of the property, in the form of a wooden Amdega conservatory. We suggested that water based underfloor heating would be far cheaper to run, and more effective than the electric matting recommended by the conservatory builder. The old 50Kw Potterton commercial boiler was removed and replaced with a top quality Viessmann 300 49Kw system boiler with KM bus varispeed pump. The house suffered from inadequate heating in the triple aspect bedroom and lounge, and also the large number of rooms meant that heat was being wasted during the day when […]
Baby Viessmann in Smallfield
Our customer had a modest semi detached property in Smallfield, (near Crawley). The old floorstanding boiler was removed from the hearth in the kitchen, and a Viessmann 100W Compact heat-only condensing boiler was located some distance away in the garage. A vertical flue was fitted in the garage roof by our professional roofing contractor. The Viessmann was supplied and fitted by HWCH with our normal 5 year parts and labour warranty.
