Community housing benefits from new condensing boilers

Substantial reductions in the cost of providing heating and domestic hot water will be achieved following the installation of Atlantic gas-fired condensing boilers at Mitton Court in Buxton, which provides 60 flats for elderly people. The two R Series boilers each have a output of 153 kW and provide both weather-compensated heating and fast-recovery hot water. Mike Walters, who manages gas contracts for High Peak Community Housing, selected the plant. He says, ‘The 24/7 heating and domestic-hot-water energy demand will be substantially reduced by these boilers. Also, we have the possibility of simple changing to a renewable fuel such as rape-seed oil in the future. These boilers condense whatever the return temperature from the heating system. Their efficiency is always above 92% (gross calorific value) and can reach 99% in mid-winter.
