HOT WATER SOLUTIONS An unrivalled reputation for quality and service
Thermal Stores have been an effective and highly efficient hot water solution in the UK for over 40 years , but it is a solution which many installers tend to shy away from in favour of the unvented cylinders .
However , thermal store popularity is on the rise , being recognised as the perfect choice within a retrofit situation as they can be bespoke designed and manufactured to suit any installation requirement within the property , whilst harnessing all available heat sources to deliver both heating and mains pressure hot water directly from the store .
Turning the Traditional Approach on Its Head
The big tick in the box for home owners is the thermal stores ’ ability to provide mains pressure hot water , without the requirement for on-going annual maintenance making them a perfect alternative to the unvented unit .
In these times of ever-increasing energy costs , it is essential to utilise a solution that enables running costs to be kept to a minimum .
This is achieved by reversing the traditional approach to hot water .
Instead of storing hot water in the cylinder under pressure , which is then used for taps and showers when required , the thermal store acts like a battery , storing the energy from any fuel source when it is either available or cost effective , then providing hot water and heating when required from an inherently safe open vented store .
The mains pressure hot water is generated by passing the mains cold water through the highly efficient internal coil . As the hot water is produced instantaneously and not stored , there is no risk of legionella . The heating can be delivered to the property by sending the stored water around the underfloor heating system or wet central heating system .
Maximising the Benefit of Low Cost Energy
In these times of ever-increasing energy costs , it is essential to utilise a solution that enables running costs to be kept to a minimum . The thermal store is widely recognised as the optimal solution for utilising energy such as off-peak electricity . In addition , by incorporating multiple renewable energy sources , you can create a truly efficient solution , using for example , solar thermal to capitalise on the energy generated in the summer months with a solid fuel stove generating the power during the colder winter months .
This unique ability to harness the energy as it is generated , store it until it is required and then transfer the heat into heating and hot water on demand , with simplified installation , makes a thermal store the perfect solution for both installers and homeowners alike .
