The Trianco range of EuroStar oil boilers now includes Band A rated (Sedbuk 2005) high efficiency models which feature specially matched ‘Riello’ burners and offer ‘whisper quiet’ operation with excellent efficiencies of over 90%.

EuroStar models encompass internal ‘heating only’ models for kitchen or utility room installations, ranging in output from 14.6kW to 70kW and also ‘combi’ versions of up to 26kW for internal or external installation.

Servicing is facilitated via a panel on the front of all models allowing installation under standard height work surfaces. The baffle system and secondary heat exchanger cool the products of combustion so that latent heat, usually lost through the flue, is returned to the system to enhance energy performance while reducing CO2 and NOx emissions.

Boiler Installation is simplified with pre-plumbed connections and simple electrics. A comprehensive range of flue accessories includes 600mm and 1000mm balanced flue terminals covering most wall thicknesses.

A comprehensive two year manufacturer’s warranty is offered with EuroStar backed by a nationwide network of dedicated engineers. The boilers main heat exchanger is offered with a five year warranty.

Renewable energy is the term used to describe energy flows that occur naturally and continuously in the environment, such as energy from the wind, waves or tides. The origin of the majority of these sources can be traced back to either the sun (energy from the sun helps to drive the earth’s weather patterns) or the gravitational effects of the sun and the moon. This means that these sources are essentially inexhaustible, where the radiation from the sun can be collected by Vaillant solar panels which include; auroTHERM VFK, auroTHERM VTK and auroTHERM Plus.

The key issue is how to extract this energy as effectively as possible and convert it into more useful forms of energy. This can range from directly using the energy from the sun to heat water to using mechanical devices, such as wind turbines, to convert the kinetic energy in the wind to electrical energy. Vaillant Solar provides various solar systems, designed to supply various needs. Vaillant Solar domestic water systems can generate between 50-70% of your hot water using radiation from the sun.

Today, Vaillant are as proud to be leading the way in renewable technologies, developing systems which utilise sustainable sources of energy. Vaillant’s constant drive to provide leading levels of customer service and training support, helps to demonstate why customers recommend Vaillant and BHL. Vaillant Heat Pumps are manufactured in two different types:

Ground Source Heat Pump – Vaillant ground source heat pumps collect energy in the earth or in the air and use it to heat water in a cylinder for distribution to taps, appliances and radiators. They can also cool the house in the summer. These Vaillant Heat Pumps contain the most advanced technology available for home heating, hot water and cooling. Due to the fact that the earth itself ‘stores’ energy, it is an extremely reliable and constant energy source, it creates no harmful emissions and uses a very small amount of electricity to drive the pumps themselves.

Air to Air Heat Pumps – Vaillant Heat Pump systems can efficiently heat the room during the winter and as an added benefit, also provide cooling during the summer. This means you can enjoy a climate controlled environment all year round. advanced filter solutions also bring good news for allergy sufferers with the air to air Vaillant Heat Pump system cleaning the air as it circulates in the room. And, due to it’s high efficiency in heating mode, it is more environmentally friendly than many conventional heating systems.

New categories include Gas Saver, Boiler Accessories, Solar Boilers, Biomass Boilers and Commercial Boilers, including a comprehensive Boiler Controls and Boiler Flues section.

About Boilers

The capacity (heat output) of the Boiler needed to satisfy your requirements can be calculated by adding up the manufacturers specified heat output of all the radiators, plus a 3kW allowance for a hot water cylinder. Ten per cent is added to allow for exceptionally cold weather. The overall calculation is affected by the heat lost through the walls and ceiling, and also by the number of air changes caused by ventilation.

Central Heating Boilers provide warmth and comfort to any home. There are many different types of boiler on the market by lots of different boiler manufacturers. Boilers can be Gas Boilers, Oil Boilers, Solid Fuel Boilers or Electric Boilers. Nowadays, most boilers are high efficiency Condensing Boilers. Condensing boilers extract more heat from the fuel than other types of boiler. Condensing boilers achieve this by passing water through a highly efficient heat exchanger, or a second heat exchanger that uses heat from the flue to preheat cool water returning to the radiators. There are various types of boiler available.

Combination boilers or Combi Boilers provide both hot water to a sealed system and a seperate supply of instant hot water directly to taps and showers. Advantages of combi boilers are ease of installation, space-saving and economy. A heating only boiler is in most instances the most likely boiler to buy if you are replacing an older model of boiler. The chances are that you will have a regular (conventional) boiler. A typical conventional system includes a boiler and extended controls, a feed and expansion cistern, and a hot water cylinder, generally located in an airing cupboard. This will be fed by a cold water storage cistern located in the loft.

A system boiler unlike a combi boiler, work on the principle of stored hot water. However a system boiler differs from a regular boiler in some important respects. Firstly, many of the major individual components of the heating and hot water system are built in, which means that installation is quicker, neater, easier and more efficient. Secondly, the hot water is pumped from the boiler through the system to the radiators and hot water cylinder, resulting in a fast response and more economical running costs. The system boiler removes the need for a feed and expansion cistern.

Electric central heating is fast becoming the first choice for many installations, and not just in situations where the lack or cost of a gas supply, limited space, flueing difficulties and future maintenance costs mean a gas boiler is undesirable or not possible. The rising price and unpredictability of fossil fuel supplies now make electric heating look even more attractive, being the only energy we can produce through renewable or carbon-neutral methods.

The Trianco range of Aztec electric boilers have a compact slim-line design (only 165mm wide x 143mm deep) and a lightweight body meaning it is superbly versatile and simple to install. Aztec also delivers excellent performance with an efficiency rating of 99.8%.

Aztec contains a specially designed, state of the art ‘printed circuit board’ (PCB) which greatly improves the products life-span and ensures high performance. The boilers are manufactured in the UK to the highest standards and future maintenance requirements are minimal.

Available in outputs from 2kW to 12kW, the Aztec is ideal for a wide spectrum of properties ranging from houses or flats, to caravans and mobile homes. Several units can also be linked to provide higher outputs for larger homes or even commercial applications such as offices and shops

Supplying domestic hot water and heating, via radiators or underfloor, Aztec electric boilers also link well with renewable technologies such as air source heat pumps or biomass to provide a guaranteed back-up.
