Smith's Fan Convectors, Hydroflame, maintenance, refurbishment

Focal-point heating for homes with back boilers being replaced in Wandsworth Council’s Edgecombe Hill portfolio of houses is provided by Hydroflame units from Smith’s Fan Convectors. These units can plumb into the existing central heating or provide heat using electricity when the central heating is not on.

Hydroflame units do not require a gas supply, and there is no carbon-monoxide risk.The project is managed by Dave Richardson at Wandsworth Council.

Jim Bennett, Smith’s sales and marketing director, says, ‘We continue to shout the benefits of the Hydroflame with our public-sector clients. The projects with Wandsworth Council show what a straightforward and easy-to-install product it is.’
