High efficiency solution
Published:  01 May, 2009

Lochinvar has supplied high efficiency gas-fired equipment to top fashion brand, George, the clothing division of Asda.

Five Lochinvar CP-M high efficiency gas-fired condensing boilers, three 150kW and two 180Kw plus two EcoKnight 115kW water heaters, have been installed at George House, the newly opened headquarters of the popular fashion label at Magna Park in Lutterworth, Leicestershire.

Selected for their high efficiency and low NOx emissions, the Lochinvar products are providing space heating and hot water for the purpose built 84,440 sq ft offices which include special fashion concept and development areas, a café, a shop and shower facilities for the comfort and convenience of the 521 employees based at the site. 

David Pepper, managing director of Lochinvar, said: "We've worked with a long list of leading UK retailers in the past, including Morrisons, Tesco, Marks & Spencer and House of Fraser, and are pleased to have our products selected for the new HQ of such a high profile fashion range as George.

"The selection and  installation of gas-fired condensing boilers and water heaters can play a significant part in the challenge to reduce carbon emissions and our flexible products can provide some great solutions for commercial new builds such as this as well as refurbishment projects."

The installation was carried out by the main contractors, Northampton based Encon Special Contracts Ltd.

The CP-M boiler is a fully condensing, high efficiency, boiler range comprising six wall hung models with outputs ranging from 60kW to 180kW.  Also gas fired and fully condensing, EcoKnight is a floor standing water heater with five models offering outputs from 709 to 2436 litres of hot water per hour based upon a temperature rise of 50°C and is able to achieve thermal efficiency of up to 109% net.
