Heating and Ventilation

Vortice is proud to unveil its latest range of DMEV (decentralised mechanical extract ventilation) fans, offering a vital remedy for condensation and mould challenges faced by UK social housing providers. Celebrated for their dependability and performance, these advanced fans can move over half a million litres of air in just 24 hours even at their minimal trickle speeds. It’s not difficult to see why these fans, which have features like automatic humidity boost and run-on timers as well as being IPX4 rated, are so popular.  However, when used in existing homes, they can struggle to meet the whole dwelling ventilation rates required by the latest Building Regulations due to the small number of ‘wet rooms’ in some of the UK’s older housing stock.
 

Panasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions wowed the crowd at InstallerSHOW 2024 with its latest innovations, new partnerships, and significant investments in UK training centres. These efforts are set to revolutionise and speed up the UK's journey to Net Zero.

With 19% of the UK’s carbon footprint produced from energy used in heating, using gas boilers, Panasonic is leading the way in decarbonising existing building stocks with its renewable solutions.  The future of heating is here, and it's sustainable!

Over the past three decades, EnviroVent has partnered with social housing providers to solve issues of condensation and mould, providing turnkey solutions from property survey to installation and servicing, utilising directly employed engineers, a unique offering in the market.
 
EnviroVent historically recognised that social housing providers required an indoor air quality solution, long lasting and future proofed, for both existing housing stock and new build.  By the early 2000s, the company developed the Lifetime Range® of sustainable ventilation solutions to last the lifespan of the property. This included the patented Filterless Extract Fan range, which won the Queen’s Award for innovation and has sold over two million units into the UK market to date.

Ideal Heating has lifted the lid on its latest heat pump as it offers installers a greater choice of low carbon heating solutions.

The HP290 monobloc heat pump is designed to provide efficient, low carbon heating and hot water throughout the year.

Thermal Stores have been an effective and highly efficient hot water solution in the UK for almost 40 years. However, many installers today revert to recommending an unvented cylinder solution for mains pressure hot water, mainly due to a lack of awareness and understanding of thermal store technology.

McDonald Water Storage have seen thermal store popularity rise however, particularly in apartment applications, as they overcome many of the frustrations both installers and housing providers have with unvented cylinder installations, including the hidden costs of the difficult G3 requirements and ongoing annual maintenance.

Leading British ventilation manufacturer Vent-Axia has launched its new Lo-Carbon Revive 7 fan raising the bar on energy efficiency for social housing providers. Designed to meet the specific needs of the social housing sector this next generation of the popular Revive 7 filter-less unitary fan offers greater efficiency, near silent operation, a slimmer profile, all with the same great performance and in line with the updated Part F of the Building Regulations. This gives social housing landlords confidence that the new Lo-Carbon Revive 7 can tackle the issues of condensation and mould, while improving the efficiency of housing stock and comfort for residents. Meanwhile, its new slimmer profile means the Revive 7 is even easier to install in a wider range of locations.
