TCT (Scotland) Ltd

• Presenting the Heatwell Electric Combination
  Storage Boiler Range.
• We heat homes with clean safe electric power.

2
Market

• TCT developed the Heatwell range of boilers to be
  a controllable alternative to storage heaters,
  taking advantage of the cheap electric power
  tariffs such as -
  ScottishPowers Economy 2000 or Scottish Hydros
  Comfort Plus.
• With the recognition of the need to utilise
  renewable energy, our boiler being a storage
  boiler, lends itself to making use of any
  available energy source.

Why a Heatwell Boiler? Continued

• Boiler electric heating elements are low watts
  density, which means they are very quiet running.
  (the boiler can be sited in a bedroom cupboard)
• Because the heating elements are low watts
  density they are liable to last for a very long
  time!!
• Cheaper for Landlords no need for annual
  certification.
• Boiler can be supplied in stainless steel for
  areas where the water is very aggressive to other
  metals.
• Boiler is over engineered for long life and
  reliability.
• In summer weather, or when heating is not
  required, the boiler can be operated as a water
  heater only. As well as disabling the heating
  elements it also reduces the temperature of the
  store to 60Deg C.

Being Electric it must be Expensive to Run!
This is not the case

• Electric power is usually more expensive, but
  when you consider that a boiler using an external
  heat source wastes heat out of the flue and
  becomes inefficient with age, the cost starts to
  level out.
• Maintenance costs are much lower in an electric
  boiler, further reducing cost.
• The electric boiler is more expensive to
  purchase, but will last twice as long due to the
  option of a stainless or copper tank.

How Does the Boiler Work?
The main outer tank (domestic hot water) acts as
a thermal store to supply heat to the inner
central heating tank. This enables the heating
system to maintain the temperature in the house
while the power is off during the peak
period. When the power is restored, heat
transfers in the other direction from the
concentration of elements, quickly restoring the
heat in the domestic hot water and the central
heating. There is also a switch to shut off the
central heating elements and reduce the boiler
temperature to 60DegC. in summer

Is the boiler user friendly?

• The Heatwell boiler doesnt have an array of
  confusing controls, it has only one and that can
  be left in position 2 for the life of the boiler.
  It even vents any air out automatically.

How will the renewable energy sources work with
the combination boiler?

• Energy sources are either electricity -(wind
  generator or hydro). - Hot
  water - (solar or geothermal)
• The combination boiler because its designed to
  store heat will accommodate both by electric
  element and coil respectively.

How will you know a Heatwell Boiler is using a
renewable energy source?

• In the middle of winter with a cold wind blowing
  the snow along and a power cut due to the lines
  being down. Look for the house with the wind
  generator on top, all the lights and heating on.
• That will be the wind generator powering the
  heating pump to take the heat from the boiler
  store, also to supply the power for the lights.
• We forgot to mention the smile on the
  householders face The power is free!!
