Older appliances, especially those with standing pilot lights may be worth replacing.

Heaters with standing pilots can use around 4.22kWh of gas per day, 1,540kWhs per year!

A typical Heater from around 2000-2006 with an input of 58.6kW per hour and an output of 46.9kW per hour has an efficiency of 80%, plus the cost of the pilot light.

A new (2023) heater with a similar output has an efficiency of 91.6% and does not have a standing pilot.

In increasingly hot UK summers, keeping warehouses and factories cool is vital for productivity, comfort and safety.

Therefore, it is no surprise that more workplaces than ever before are installing temperature control systems.

Until now, the only solution has been refrigerant-based air conditioning, which is energy hungry, expensive to run and cannot be fitted in all properties.

Harry Taylor Ecocooling Evaporative Cooling provides an environmentally friendly and efficient alternative, which, against rising energy prices, is also cost effective.

The Dhamecha Group is one of the UK's largest independent cash and carry wholesalers with a core of ten depots around London and the Midlands. Harry Taylor was first asked to redesign the heating system at their premises in Barking. Harry Taylor utilised an existing radiant heating system and adapted it to suit the Barking depot layout. This solution worked so well for the Dhamecha Group, they have subsequently asked Harry Taylor to design new systems for their Croydon, Enfield, Hayes, Watford, Lewisham and now Leyton depots.

Mr Charles Creak of The Entertainer, one of the UK's largest independent toy retailers, approached Harry Taylor to solve a heating problem in their main distribution centre in Amersham. The premises had an existing warm air system installed, but it was performing poorly because the building and the storage racking within were absorbing the heat being produced by it. Harry Taylor decommissioned one of the cabinet heaters and installed a "herringbone" radiant system to combat this issue. 

Simpac contacted Harry Taylor for a quotation for a heating system at their packaging company in Hull following concerns that their fuel bills were excessive.

Spandex is one of the world's leading trade suppliers to the sign making and display industries. Spandex needed a cooling solution for their storage area for opaque vinyl materials fused in sign making. Like many warehouses in the UK, they were suffering the effects of heat and as can often be the case, their products needed to be stored at temperatures below ambient. 

McKenzie Clark, a large format digital printers, decided to move from their long-established premises to a modern purpose-built building next door. This move would allow them to house all their different departments in under one roof. Heating and cooling were required for the whole premises. McKenzie Clark has a number of multinational customers who increasingly require their suppliers to prove their environmental credentials. It was therefore extremely important for the Directors of McKenzie Clark to use energy efficient heating and cooling solutions in their new premises.
