An average home loses 10% of its heat through windows and doors. Good, energy efficient glazing reduces this heat loss, keeps the home warmer and reduces heating bills. It can also make the home quieter.
Double-glazed windows have two sheets of glass with a gap between them which is usually 16mm wide. It is this gap which creates an insulating barrier to slow down the rate at which heat escapes from the home. Triple-glazed windows are now also available which have three sheets of glass, and therefore two insulating gaps, to provide even better insulation.

A flue gas heat recovery system can make boilers more efficient by capturing and re-using heat energy that would otherwise have escaped out of your flue or chimney.
Helps improve the energy rating of a new build property by up to 3%. Improves Domestic Hot Water efficiency by using latent heat within flue gas to pre-heat incoming mains cold water. No need for blending valve or expansion vessel in most system designs. Compatible with both horizontal and vertical flues. Fitted independently of boiler

A Waste Water Heat Recovery Unit (WWHRU) for shower water, meaning it recovers heat from the warm waste water as it passes through before going to the drainage system for the property.
The heat recovery is possible, due to the copper heat exchanger within the WWHR unit which is a very effective material for transferring heat. The preheated water then supplies the mains cold feed to the shower and either a combination boiler or a hot water storage cylinder.
