The Energy-related Products
(ErP) Directive comes into force on 26 September 2015. This directive from the
European Union requires manufacturers of space and water heating products to provide
an energy-rating label for each product, similar to those commonly seen on
white goods.
As an installer of space and
water heating systems, Plumb-Line will be required to calculate the energy
efficiency rating of each system, produce the required energy-rating label and
an accompanying ‘technical fiche’, which includes additional performance and
efficiency parameters of the system. These will be supplied with the product
literature.
All installations of boilers
and water heaters in new and existing buildings will be affected by the ErP Directive.
We believe that this is important new legislation for the industry, helping to
drive out inefficient products and create greater transparency. At Plumb-Line
we supply highly efficient boilers from industry-leading suppliers, and we design
systems using the latest controls, so the energy-rating label will clearly show
the consumer how energy efficient their system is.
