OMNIE, the British based underfloor heating and renewable energy specialist has launched a new Knowledge Guide for installers, which offers a comprehensive overview of air source heat pumps (ASHPs), and the help that is available in obtaining a BUS – or Boiler Upgrade Scheme – voucher.
This downloadable, seven-page publication starts by explaining about the company’s ‘Experience on tap’ before reassuring installers regarding the ‘tried, tested and trusted’ nature of OMNIE’s product ranges. This is followed by a page outlining key points such as stressing that performance is a top priority for the company’s technical experts, while dedicated project managers are on hand to offer guidance from the planning stages to installation and handover. Impressively, OMNIE boasts three decades’ experience in the field which has resulted in its industry leading Whole House System philosophy, which seeks to constantly improve indoor air quality as well as delivering optimum efficiency.
Other key points include OMNIE’s products being award winning, while its free design service not only sizes the heat pump, but covers heat delivery, controls and DHW provision, while commissioning is taken care of by its partner company.
The remainder of the guide concentrates on the all-important, Government funded Boiler Upgrade Scheme – and it is here where the installer is assured how the OMNIE team takes care of the application for the £5,000 grant as well as how their customers qualify.
OMNIE has put in place arrangements to manage all the time-consuming administration and paperwork surrounding the scheme, provided free of charge when an OMNIE heat pump is installed. This includes the bespoke design of every OMNIE heating system fitted and issues such as MCS compliance addressed.
The BUS application is explained in detail on the last two pages, summarized by a simple flow chart depicting the six stages of OMNIE’s BUS voucher/redemption process. Reassuringly for the installer, OMNIE asserts:
“We will design the whole system, including sizing the OMNIE heat pump for optimum performance and specifying the hot water storage tank, system buffer plus associated controls.”
