Heating Systems
More than ever, people are turning to electric central heating because of technological and design advancements that have taken place over the last few years. Why?
- Electrical heating systems are easy to install, keeping costs down. Complicated pipework is not required, all we must do is connect each heater to the electrical circuit in your property.
- As electric heaters can act as stand-alone units or form part of a system, additions or upgrades are easy to install, making it a flexible heating system.
- Central heating systems are more aesthetically appealing and energy efficient.
- Technology allows you to split your home into heating zones and control heat in each of these rooms or zones individually.
- At the point of use electric heating is 100% efficient as all of the electricity is converted into heat, making it lest wasteful than gas boilers, for example.
Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR)
MVHR provides fresh filtered air into a building whilst retaining most of the energy that has already been used in heating the building. It is the solution to the ventilation needs of energy efficient buildings. MVHR works quite simply by extracting the air from the polluted sources (e.g. kitchen, bathroom, toilets, and utility rooms) and supplying air to the ‘living’ rooms (e.g. bedrooms, living rooms etc.) The extracted air is taken through a central heat exchanger and the heat recovered into the supply air. This works both ways, if the air temperature inside the building is colder than the outside air temperature then the cool air is maintained in the building.
Data Cabling
Modern business technology demands high-speed internet access and efficient computer networks linked to phone and VoIP systems. Not only must your cabling embrace today’s technology, it must also be panned for growth to meet your future needs.
Having a structured data cabling system installed in your building is essential for high-speed communications. Many buildings already have data cabling installed, but sadly some of these simply do not meet the needs of today's business. If you are thinking about a new data cabling installation, or undertaking a review of your existing system, Iain Meikle electrical can help you.
