Heat Hero Gets HETAS Listing
Heat Hero is the latest product to be listed in the HETAS Guide under Link-Up Systems for Heating & Hot Water.
The product is a unique system based on manifold injectors in two installed units that enable circulation around a solid fuel fired heating system to be maximised as well as gravity circulation around the hot water storage cylinder when the heating/radiator system is not energised. It contains no moving parts or any electrical components. Where required, it enables a secondary heat source, such as a gas or oil fired boiler, to be linked into the system with the solid fuel boiler.

There are no specific technical standards for assessing the design, production or performance of this type of equipment although there do exist standards for the individual components from which the devices are built up. For example, plate heat exchangers, pipes and fittings and electrical components. It is therefore not a requirement that the equipment is CE Marked.
The listings given in the HETAS Guide are based on the manufacturer demonstrating satisfactorily that their product is safe and fit for the purpose of serving a boiler red by biomass or solid mineral fuel. This will normally be an assessment by an independent authorised competent organisation such as a Notified Body. In the absence of any regulatory standards for the design, production or performance of the equipment listed it is not possible for HETAS to approve it. The listing is therefore simply a recognition that the manufacturer has taken all necessary steps to ensure their product is safe and fit for its purpose when installed in accordance with their instructions.
