Leading British Heating Manufacturer Vogue (UK) has created a stylish way to warm your fluffy towels, velvety bath robe or some of your more delicate garments this winter season with the Stendy and Stendy Quad Towel Warmers: both part of its Contemporary Collection.

The summer months may be traditionally quiet for heating engineers - but CORGI HomePlan has revealed just how busy its network of 5,000 engineers has been.

The boiler and home emergency insurer has revealed that the value of servicing and breakdown jobs carried out by its engineer network from May to September was£6.4million*.

This is a vital boost to the thousands of independent businesses who make up the CORGI HomePlan network as they have guaranteed levels of work throughout the year.

CORGI HomePlan - founded in 2011 - is also keeping its engineers busier each year as more customers come on board, with the 2016 summer work levels 42 per cent higher than those in 2013.

Historically many within the heating industry have seen September as the start of the heating season and as a result, the start of the breakdown and system failure calls. Here Richard Sharp at Xylem advises on those added extras that can make a big difference to system efficiency but also keep you front of mind with homeowners throughout the year.

In 2013, September saw temperatures across the UK peak at 30C, but then in 2014 it was the coolest September since 1994, according to the Met Office. Of course temperature is a personal thing and not everyone will want heating on at the same time, but as many installers know when the mercury truly begins to fall that’s when the flood gates traditionally open with breakdown calls and system failures.

UK energy supply, innovation and services company Flowgroup plc (Flow) has announced the launch of its Flow Eco RF boiler, one of the most reliable and efficient boilers currently available in the UK. The boiler comes with a raft of innovative features and can reduce bills by up to 15 percent.

The disruptive model removes wholesalers from the supply chain giving installers an increased margin and end customers better value. FBAs are the UK’s finest installers and heating engineers who have been hand-picked to join the Flow programme.

Warmworld’s latest Intelligent Heating Control the Dataterm IHC is proving to be very successful in reducing fuel spend year on year off  by being extremely flexible and energy conscious at the same time. Tests have proven that Dataterm can save the end user some 25% on fuel spend per annum without any loss of comfort.

In the domestic market this is great but in the commercial market where controls are complex to understand and operate the Dataterm can literally pay for itself in as little as 12 – 18 months making savings on fuel spend in the thousands rather than hundreds, one of our larger clients has already proved that when they refurbished many of their pubs and restaurants.
