Brief Project Description: The Park Hotel in Peebles recently embarked on a significant upgrade to its heating and hot water systems to enhance energy efficiency and reliability. Our Mechanical Engineers were commissioned to install three new ACV Heatmaster 85 TC Evo gas-fired heaters. These state-of-the-art water heaters replaced the hotel’s aging gas boilers and hot water cylinders, promising substantial improvements in energy consumption and operational performance.

The objectives were simple. Replace the old gas boilers and hot water cylinders with modern, energy-efficient solutions and install reliable and efficient heating and hot water systems to ensure consistent service.

We were required to integrate new pumps, press unit, air dirt separator, and a mechanical control panel for optimal performance and insulate all pipework to minimise heat loss and maximise energy savings.

We installed three ACV Heatmaster 85 TC Evo gas-fired heaters, which are renowned for their high efficiency and reliability. These heaters combine the functions of a high-output boiler and a water heater in a single unit, providing an efficient solution for both heating and hot water needs.

To support the new water heaters, we installed all new pumps, a press unit, and an air dirt separator. These components are critical for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of the heating system. The air dirt separator, in particular, helps to remove air and impurities from the water, reducing the risk of corrosion and blockages.

A full new Mechanical Control Panel was installed to manage and optimise the operation of the heating system. This control panel allows for precise regulation of the heaters, ensuring they operate at peak efficiency and respond accurately to the hotel’s heating and hot water demands.

Upon completion of the installation, all pipework was thoroughly insulated. This step is essential for reducing heat loss, which in turn improves the overall efficiency of the heating system and reduces energy costs.

Project Challenges: The heating and hot water system upgrade was scheduled in the summer months when demand for heating is at a yearly low.  However, because this is a hotel, our work needed to be staggered to ensure that the hospitality venue was still able to offer customers hot water through the upgrade work.  As a leading mechanical contractor, our experience of working in large scale heating systems like this is first rate and our team were able to schedule the work to minimise any disruption to the hotels guests.

The old boiler systems were taken to be recycled and the new system was properly tested to ensure that it performs reliably from day one.

The ACV Heatmaster 85 TC Evo gas-fired heaters are significantly more energy-efficient than the old gas boilers and hot water cylinders. This upgrade will lead to a reduction in energy consumption and operational costs for The Park Hotel while the high-quality components will enhance the reliability of the hotel’s heating and hot water system, ensuring a consistent supply of hot water and heating throughout the premises.

The successful upgrade of The Park Hotel’s heating and hot water systems highlights our consistent success rate in delivering energy-efficient, reliable, and high-performance solutions to customers who require substantial upgrade and installation work with minimal disruption to their day to day business activities. By installing modern water heaters, supporting components, and comprehensive insulation, we have ensured that The Park Hotel will benefit from reduced energy costs, improved system reliability, and enhanced overall performance.
