Hamworthy Heating tracks down its oldest serving boilers
Hamworthy Heating’s quest to find the oldest installed and working Hamworthy boiler has ended at Redbridge Jewish Community College in Ilford. The three Hydrotherm boilers date from 1967, the same year the building was built.
Stuart Turner, national sales manager with Hamworthy Heating (pictured with the boilers), commented, ‘I couldn’t believe we found these boilers. They are as old as me. The boilers have been running for 48 years and have been regularly maintained and well looked after.
Hydrotherm boilers were the first modular boilers sold by Hamworthy, which pioneered the use of modular boiler systems. They were introduced to the UK in 1967 and were made of cast iron, with gas and oil versions available. The plant room and maintenance is managed by Kier Group.
