Existing systems were approaching the end of their economic life and incurring significant running costs, both in terms of maintenance and fuel consumption.

The new scheme involves supply and installation of 20 ceiling gas fired warm air heaters, gas pipework infrastructure and associated flues and controls. The LPHW office modular boilers will be replaced with high efficiency units, a new low loss header, controls, gas infrastructure and flues operating in cascade to boost efficiency and life expectancy.

The project will be completed based on an extremely tight factory shutdown using MCL Energy’s in-house commercial installation team. 

Phase 1 of the factory heating replacement has already produced gas bill savings approaching 40% along with a reduction in maintenance expenditure. The total project value will be several hundred thousand pounds with a short payback period of 2-3 years, dependent upon degree day variance.
