Cleaner Heat Cashback
The Government has introduced a commercial boiler scrappage scheme for London to cut carbon and NOx emissions in the capital to improve air quality and energy efficiency in non-domestic buildings. We take a look at the criteria for a replacement, how the application works and how you can become a Hamworthy-approved installer.
Driving condensing boiler efficiency
In 2015, we saw the introduction of the Energy-related Products Directive. What is the aim of this legislation and what impact does it have on the commercial heating and hot water market?
ErP Energy Labelling
Energy labels indicating energy efficiency were introduced in 2015 to be applied to consumer products. A part of our product range is also affected.
ErP Directive for water heaters
The ErP Directive does not only affect boilers but also water heaters. The requirements are not limited to energy efficiency and noise levels. Read our article to find out more.
ErP-compliant boilers
The Energy-related Products Directive was one of the major legislations which has almost eradicated atmospheric boilers from the market. Learn more about the directive and its requirements here.
