		With benefits for the homeowner, developer and the environment, the energy efficient Electramate thermal storage appliance has played a key role in helping leading developers, Countryside Properties to win awards for Environmental Best Practise, and Design Excellence. With prices starting from £195,950, residents of the ultra-modern apartments at South will benefit from ElectraMate’s rapid-response heating, mains pressure hot water, and capacity for handling high simultaneous demands for multiple bathroom homes. ElectraMate works by maintaining a store of hot water at a constant temperature, which circulates through the heating system. Domestic hot water from the mains passes through a plate heat exchanger, which is linked to and heated by the hot water contained within the store.
								With its impressive storage capability, efficient operation and sophisticated control system, ElectraMate is pre- programmed to take advantage of off-peak tariffs whenever they are available. This process can reduce the cost of power consumption by as much as 12% compared to a system using electric storage radiators and conventional off-peak hot water storage. The savings are even greater when compared to on-peak convector radiators. As ElectraMate uses only electricity, it eliminates any flueing problems enabling it to be located almost anywhere, allowing building designers complete freedom when siting the unit. It is extremely versatile and can be linked to conventional radiators and underfloor heating systems providing a perfect solution for style conscious developments. The ElectraMate appliance is insulated with high efficiency foam and totally encased in a steel jacket sealing the unit for minimal heat loss, simple installation and safety. ElectraMate’s highly efficient use of energy ultimately means that fewer harmful emissions are produced, reducing the impact on the environment. The system enables developers to care for the environment, whilst also giving homebuyers the best possible heating and hot water system
