MAXXflo EVO Lite provides top class hot water solution at Merchiston School

A new Andrews Water Heaters MAXXflo EVO Lite 25/201 has been installed by Lothian Heating Services at Merchiston Castle School near Edinburgh to provide reliable, high efficiency hot water provision at its Pringle Teaching Centre.

The prestigious independent boarding and day school prides itself on its excellent facilities – and the modern Pringle Centre is no exception. The Centre is used to provide a gentle transition for students moving from primary to secondary school style education.

Lothian Heating Services provides the School with heating and hot water installation and maintenance services. When the non-condensing water heater at the Pringle Centre needed replacing, they recommended the high specification Andrews’ MAXXflo EVO Lite.

Revised efficiency requirements for direct-fired water heaters, outlined in Approved Document L and Section 6 of Scottish Building Regulations, effectively rule out like-for-like non-condensing water heater replacement in the vast majority of buildings. Upgrading to high-performance condensing water heaters, which are up to 20% more efficient than non-condensing, provides organisations with a more sustainable solution to hot water generation, helping mitigate rising energy costs.

The ErP A-rated MAXXflo EVO Lite 25/201 achieves outstanding water efficiency of 103%, vastly exceeding the ErP 91% water efficiency requirement for energy class A. With excellent gross efficiencies of up to 98%, this output model offers high recovery water heater rates up to 386 ltr/hr.
