Gledhill Water Storage has enhanced its market-leading mains pressure hot water and wet central heating electrical appliance for apartments. Gledhill ElectraMate A-Class

The ElectraMate A-class supplies the benefits of mains pressure hot water with wet central heating while making the most of off-peak tariffs and requires no pressure or temperature relief runaways. Established as the perfect solution for apartment building for over 7 years, the ElectraMate can save tens of thousands of pounds in ducting costs alone.

The A-class is smaller, lighter and simpler to position and install than its predecessor the ElectraMate 2000, yet offers the same superb performance – mains pressure high-quality water to every tap; powerful showers; fast-filling baths and truly responsive central heating.

The ElectraMate provides up to 35 litres per minute of domestic hot water raised through 35ºc directly from the mains. With up to 90% of its energy usage taken at off-peak rates (economy 10 tariff preferred) the running costs are comparable to gas heating, when annual servicing for a gas system is taken into account.

State of the art technology means that few controls are needed and with simplified switchgear working in timed operation, the load on the electrical supply is minimised. Modulating pumps can also be specified saving considerable amounts of energy and reducing noise pollution in the home.

The ElectraMate A-class can be situated anywhere. The heating circuit may be sealed or tank fed but the primary store is tank fed so there is no need for pressure or temperature relief valves or associated runaway pipework which means significant cost savings in an apartment building.

All system components are installed, factory-tested and enclosed within an attractive steel casing. The highest level of environmentally-friendly insulation ensures reduced standing losses and low cupboard temperatures.

ElectraMate requires no annual service as the appliance’s advanced construction ensures a long life and the primary store design removes the need for checks on sacrificial anodes, found on many unvented units.

ElectraMate also comes with an automatic resistance to scaling even in hard water areas as the immersion elements are situated in the same primary water all the time and this water is not renewed. The secondary side is also designed to cope with the most hard water situations, but in extreme cases Gledhill can fit an in-line scale inhibitor for very little extra cost.
