Communal boiler replacement

Sector

Social Housing

Location

Chessington, Surrey

Our M&E team installed a new boiler system based on Bosch Condens 7000 WP at 100kW each boiler. Two hot water cylinders with a capacity of 850 litres and 30-minute re-heat time for domestic services ensure uninterrupted hot water. Temperature Mixing Values (TMVs) deliver water to flats at approximately 50-55°C, pre-set to the client’s specification.

What we did

30-minute reheat and regulated hot water at 50-55°C reduces energy costs in 47 flats.

Specifications

  • Strip out existing plant room
  • New hydrogen-ready boilers
  • New hot water cylinders
  • New BMS System
  • New insulated pipework and TMVs
  • Water heating system flushed/cleaned

Number of flats

Our new communal boiler installation delivered improved and consistent heating and hot water supplies for residents and helped our client with Net Zero targets by providing hydrogen-ready boilers. Reduced heating bills and futureproofing/resilience to boiler failure are added benefits of our installation programme. Whilst works were ongoing, we minimised disruption to residents’ water and heating supplies and offered them heating alternatives.

innovations, challenges, solutions

New communal boiler system brings many benefits to residents and to our client.

We were always having trouble. Heating would go off. Or we’d have not hot water. Since they put the new boiler in, it’s absolutely perfect. They cleaned up after too. They were brilliant, did not leave a mess at all.. I had no complaints at all. I thank Axis for doing such a brilliant job.

They were very conscientious and did a very good job. They kept us in touch with all the works going on. Before that we had boilers breaking down. We lost heating and hot water. In the last six weeks the heating and hot water have worked perfectly.
