Reliable service

The boiler plant is maintained by Economy Heating Services, who had no hesitation in recommending a Stokvis Econoflame R6539 for the project.

The new boiler offers the first response to demand from the 168 guest bedrooms, kitchens, pool complex and other facilities.

A spokesperson for Economy Heating Services, commented: "As a specialist heating installer dealing mainly with hotels, as well as some schools and other types of property across England and Wales, we have a good working relationship with Stokvis and frequently recommend the manufacturer's equipment to our clients based on their performance and the level of service provided.

"In the case of the Holiday Inn Guildford, which is one of the chain's bigger venues, the hotel had two Stokvis R18s when it was built in the 1980s. Now one of the original boilers needed replacing, we recommended the R6539, which has been installed and set up as the lead boiler. This means it provides the bulk of the load for the bedrooms, kitchens, leisure complex with pool and Jacuzzi, as well as the conference facilities.

"The ground floor boiler room also still contains the original pair of Stokvis Econoplate heat exchangers and a later buffer vessel for the hot water service."

The R6539 is a fully modulating gas fired boiler which responds to match demand in the most fuel efficient way, while continuing to offer reliability and low maintenance characteristics.
