We will survey your premises free of charge to establish the best solution for your particular premises, working with all leading manufacturers we are able to offer the best product for you.

Commercial heating systems are inherently more complicated than domestic systems with a wider range of temperatures and heat emitters. The selection of condensing or non-condensing boilers has been determined by application and physical constraints, however, the Energy Related Products (ErP) Directive sets new efficiency levels for products.

ErP is seen as the driving force for boiler efficiency improvements. But what the directive fails to recognise is that condensing boilers only achieve these efficiencies if installed, set up and controlled in the most effective way.

Condensing boilers will meet projected efficiencies but only when they operate with a system return temperature between

30 deg C and 40 deg C for 80% of the annual operating hours. With a return temperature of 55 deg C and above, condensing boilers will not produce condensate and will have similar efficiencies to non-condensing high efficiency boilers at significantly higher costs, it is therefore necessary to ensure the system is installed correctly to be sure you are getting the proposed energy efficiency savings.

To meet the current guidelines you may have to take additional action to ensure your system falls within the permitted seasonal recommendations, these might include zone control, demand control and/or time controls, which will all contribute towards ensuring you have the most efficient heating system available and that you comply with the current directive.

Case Study: Boiler system replacement, East Kent College Canterbury

The East Kent College Group’s Canterbury Campus faced challenges with its existing boiler system, resulting in frequent component failures. By retrofitting and optimising the system with more efficient Ideal Evomax2 boilers, they achieved a cost-effective solution for improved reliability and performance while ensuring consistent heating and hot water throughout the campus.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have used IHC for many years to service or main church boiler and have always been happy with their service. Recently, we had the need for a new boiler for the heating and hot water in another part of the church. IHC provided a very competitive quote and carried out the work in a timely and efficient manner. The engineers were polite and tidied up after themselves. The communication was clear throughout the process and we will continue to use them and any additional services we may require.
