Firebird paves the way for sustainable living

As we step into 2024, the push for sustainable home heating has never been more crucial.

Firebird paves the way for sustainable living

Firebird is committed to developing efficient, innovative heating products that are easy to install, promising homeowners long-lasting financial and carbon savings.

The company has made substantial investments in creating fuel-efficient products that are also friendly to the environment. This innovation has propelled Firebird to the forefront of the industry with liquid fuel boilers achieving an impressive 97.5% efficiency and remarkably low NOx emissions, half the EU limits.

HVO champions

As part of its ongoing commitment to creating more fuel-efficient and eco-friendly solutions, Firebird has been championing the use of HVO as a biofuel for homes. Firebird boilers are fully compatible with HVO, a sustainable alternative to kerosene that can significantly reduce household emissions by up to 90%.

It’s clear the demand for information around HVO has surged in the past year, particularly among heating professionals, whose interest is clearly reflected in the demand for Firebird’s boiler familiarisation courses at its site in Plymouth.

Reducing installation time

On the new build and retrofit side of the business, Firebird’s Envirocyl Quick Plumb Unit is growing in popularity amongst installers and homeowners. This cylinder meets all hot water needs and its fast reheat and high insulation values make it highly efficient. As the Envirocyl Quick Plumb unit is pre-plumbed and pre-wired, it can reduce installation time by as much as 70%.

The Quick Plumb Units are designed to work with the company’s Enviroair Air Source Heat Pumps in mind. Again, this will make installation quicker, saving both time and money. The Enviroair Heat Pumps are NZEB (Nearly Zero Energy Building) compliant, with a low running cost PCB controller and high-tech intelligent heating controls.

Adding to the sustainable product range, is Enviroair Underfloor Heating, which is suitable for both new build and upgrade projects. Wet underfloor heating is the most efficient way to provide space heating as it is up to 25% more efficient than traditional radiators. Underfloor heating generally runs at around 45°C as opposed to 80°C used in radiator systems, thereby saving on energy and running costs, especially, when used with a renewable heat source such as the Firebird Enviroair Air Source Heat Pump.
