Aluminium radiators are the radiator of choice for heat pump systems(09/12/2010)
Ground, Air and Water Source heat hump systems require larger radiators than those used on conventional boiler heating systems. This is because heat pump systems operate at lower temperatures. Heat pumps operate between 40 and 50 degrees Celsius, whereas conventional boilers operate between 60 to 80 degrees Celsius. Radiators on a heat pump system, operating at these lower temperatures, will produce around 30% of the heat output of the equivalent radiators on a conventional system. Da... [more]

The product was so practical and reliable that the name Baxi Bermuda was synonymous with back boiler expertise. It is estimated that over 80 per cent of back boilers were Baxi installations. Today, many homes across the... [more]

ATAG’s new range of fully integrated dishwashers is an example of the progress made. The new ATAG models have all the latest technological wizardry, but equally reassuring for purchasers is the fact that they will be investing in a... [more]
