Specflue's one stop green deal

With the Government’s eargerly anticpated Green Deal going live on January 28 the name to turn to in every respect is Specflue – offering as they do the optimum package of expertise, products and training courses.

The scope for the supplier sector is huge given that 43% of UK buildings are inefficient in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, £125 million is being set aside already for consumer funding and some 60000 insulation jobs are expected to  be added by 2015.

In terms of Specflue products these are notably the MCZ range of pellet fuel boilers and stoves and the futuristic HEATBANK system. The exclusive and elegant Italian MCZ design features “Still” technology for silent operation with a geared motor that operates continuously, specially designed shock absorbers and a pellet tank completely separate from the smoke fan.

The heat is diffused naturally by convection and the overall effect is enhanced by a large “wood-effect flame”. In turn HEATBANK features an advanced thermal system offering heat energy storage which can operate domestic hot water or even central heating if required. The energy is switched to mains water via a plate heat exchanger.

No domestic water needs to be stored and the scale of the energy saving is shown by the thermal store generating three times the hot water of a gas boiler in the same time.

Specflue’s dedicated training centre in Sudbury, Suffolk is the largest and best equipped of its kind in the UK. Offering continual guidance from specialist staff who are totally conversant with best practice and all relevant regulations.

The ideal content for Green Deal are the courses under the banner of BPEC (British Plumbing Employers Council) QFC recognised courses covering heat pump installation, hot water sysetms, energy efficiency and environmental awareness with duration of between one and four days as necessary and completion is confirmed by the vital certiifcation. The courses are an investment in business development and customer confidence.
