St Johns Church gets 3 Zone, Energy Efficient Heating System

St Johns Church contacted HeatinGlobal with the task of installing a full new system for the church. The church community room was used on a daily basis and the heating system needed splitting into three zones as the boiler also had to provide instant hot water to a well used kitchen and toilet area.

The task was not to disturb any of the classes and meetings arranged by the church as this would have resulted in a loss of revenue for the church.

Service manager Damien Bradbury said: “We had to choose our working hours carefully in this area of the church to ensure things were completed on time and no disruptions were made in the community area. The main worship area was split into two zones – the balcony area and the lower church.”

The old boiler was removed along with all the old cast sectional pipes and radiators. A new energy efficient boiler system was installed together with new trench heating in the nave, triple panel radiators down the side walls and chancel and double panel radiators on the balcony area. The vestry room was heated via a stand alone Drugasar heater that provided enough heat to protect the fabric of the building and keep away damp and frost. The new trench heaters were insulated by 50mm foil back boards allowing good air flows and no heat loss through the floor space. The boiler house was sealed off from the flow of cold air coming in through the floor ducts and new controllable thermostats were installed in the church for maximum control and comfort. From start to finish the project took just five weeks to complete.

Church Warden Jeremy Cuss said: “A very professional job completed, I would not have any issues recommending your company and we will be having you back to complete the annual maintenance checks.”
