Listing Gives an Easy Accessible Central Database of Appliances, Efficiencies and Requirements

 

There are many good reasons for appliances, fuels and equipment to be approved and for there to be a publicly available database of the approved products:-


With the huge drive to look at greener heating and hot water solutions the UK Building Regulations have put in place a number of requirements e.g. “must meet a minimum required efficiency”; and, for replacements must be no more than 2% less efficient than the previous appliance, and also be on a SEDBUK database giving seasonal efficiencies.


With HETAS approval, listing gives an easy, accessible, central database of appliances, efficiencies and requirements around use of appliances and fuels. Most importantly, efficiency data (Gross) is needed by specifiers, installers and purchasers. Picking a HETAS approved appliance is an easy way for them to ensure that they can fit appliances without contravening Building regulations. The HETAS listings are the only easily accessible list available to all for all types of solid fuel and wood burning appliances.
