Mr Chris Horton, Heating Engineer - Hartlepool, Teesside
Customer: Mr Chris Horton, a heating engineer
Location: Hartlepool, Teesside
Problems:
- HEATING SYSTEM NOISY
- SLOW TO HEAT UP
- RADIATORS NEEDED BLEEDING EVERY 3 TO 4 DAYS
- CORRODED RADIATORS WERE NEEDING REPLACEMENT
- EXCESSIVE ENERGY BILLS
We were approached by Mr. Horton, who is a heating engineer with an M & E Contractor based in Hartlepool, Teesside. The problems with his gravity fed heating system were many.
Solution:
A TADPOLE was installed on the 10th March 2007.
When the system was re-commissioned, the difference in performance was noticed within the first 10 minutes of the heating cycle.
- THE SYSTEM WAS HEATING UP MUCH QUICKER
- THE SYSTEM, WHICH HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN VERY NOISY, WAS NOW ALMOST SILENT.
- THE PUMP WAS NOW VIBRATION FREE.
- THE RADIATORS WERE HEATING MUCH FASTER.
- THE RADIATORS REACHED A MUCH HIGHER TEMPERATURE.
- THE DOMESTIC HOT WATER HEATED UP AND RECOVERED MUCH FASTER AND TO A HIGHER TEMPERATURE.
- SINCE INSTALLATION OF TADPOLE THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A NEED TO BLEED RADIATORS
Mr Horton is also reporting significant savings on his heating bill and is currently compiling a cost analysis to add to this case study.
