Located in the heart of Oxfordshire, a historic Baptist Church stands as a testament to a rich past. But even places of worship can feel the chill, and this church was no exception.

For over 40 years, their trusty early-generation SPC Belgravia Fan Convectors, formerly known as Fenton Byrn, kept the warmth flowing. However, as time went on and with evolving efficiency standards and a desire for increased comfort, an upgrade was needed.

Following a site survey carried out by Chris Ward last year, the church decided to stay with SPC, opting for our sleek and efficient Belgravia Classic Fan Convectors. These traditional Fan Convectors blend seamlessly with the church’s aesthetic.

SPC Belgravia BEL40 and BEL60 models were installed throughout the church, community room, staff room, and reception area, and now deliver warmth to the areas, ensuring a comfortable and inviting space for everyone. The installation was carried out by AHS Swindon Ltd.

• AF2 – Washable air filter across the rear of the air inlet grille
• LTC – Low water temperature cut-out thermostat
• P – 100mm high steel plinth
• Textured SWF – Standard white finish textured RAL 9010
• ECM – High performance, Low carbon, Electronically Commutated Motor
• RS3B – Three speed Rocker Switch mounted on motor plate
• TAP – Tamperproof fasteners fitted to access panel (allen key operated)

This upgrade goes beyond comfort. The Belgravia Classic Fan Convectors boast impressive energy efficiency, significantly reducing the church’s energy consumption and environmental impact. In today’s world, where sustainability is crucial, this responsible choice resonates deeply with the church’s values.

This Oxfordshire Baptist Church’s heating upgrade serves as an example of responsible modernisation. Well-built structures can stand the test of time, and even thrive with the help of modern technology. By embracing innovation, they’ve created a warm and welcoming space that ensures comfort for generations to come.

Whether you’re working on a historic building, a modern space, or anything in between, SPC Belgravia Fan Convectors offer a perfect blend of tradition, efficiency, and comfort. Contact us today and let’s discuss how we can help you create a space that feels as good as it looks!

The SPC team recently gathered to celebrate the end of a remarkable year, filled with delicious food, great company, and some epic ping-pong battles!

Reflecting on the past twelve months, 2023 has been a year of remarkable achievements for SPC. The last few months, in particular, have been amazing. We take immense pride in our team and the collective accomplishments that are pushing SPC forward. As we wrap up this year, we want to carry this positive momentum into 2024.

We look forward to the opportunities and challenges that 2024 has in store for us. Together, at SPC, we’re ready to make it another year to remember!

We wish everyone a joyful festive season and a prosperous New Year!

The school summer holidays are always a busy time for SPC and this year was no exception!

The project we are sharing today is from a summer school Fan Convectors project that took place in Plymouth, earlier in the year, in partnership with Totus Engineering. The school originally had our Belgravia Fan Convectors which were installed when the school was first built, however, these were almost over 40 years old – this just shows how robust and long-lasting our Fan Convectors are! As these Fan Convectors were reaching their end, it was decided that they should be replaced with our newer, modern and more energy-efficient units.

The old Fan Convectors were replaced and installed with new units throughout the school and paired with our Modulo v2 controller allowing for proportional speed control providing enhanced comfort and energy efficiency.

Several Belgravia Classic and Supreme units were manufactured for this school project; in the cloakroom and hallway area, our Belgravia Classic K-style unit was used. These units are vertically concealed with a rear-facing access panel and bottom inlet and top outlet spigots.

One of the installers on the project commented saying:

“The units were easy and simple to install.”

The Caretaker said:

“The new Belgravia Fan Convectors are easy to control using the Modulo v2 Controller.”

We are delighted to have been able to help this school with their Fan Convector project and we are confident that the new units will provide them with many years of trouble-free service.

SPC is a leading UK manufacturer of Fan Convectors, and we have been supplying schools with our products for over 50 years. We are committed to providing high-quality, energy-efficient products that meet the needs of our customers.

Direct-fired heat generators, commonly used in commercial and industrial buildings, emit harmful carbon dioxide directly into the atmosphere. These emissions contribute substantially to climate change and pose a significant threat to our environment.

Indirect emitters, which rely on fossil fuel-burning boilers, can be replaced with low-carbon heating emitters to reduce emissions. These heat emitters operate at lower temperatures, compatible with efficient low-temperature generators such as heat pumps.

Heat pumps, known for their energy efficiency, transfer heat from a low-temperature source, such as air or ground, to a higher-temperature destination, such as a home or building. They are an excellent choice for reducing carbon emissions in the heating sector.

Traditional emitters, designed for higher temperatures, can hinder the performance of heat pumps. Oversized or enhanced emitters, specifically designed for heat pumps, ensure optimal efficiency and maximise energy savings.

While the initial cost of oversized or enhanced emitters may be higher than traditional emitters, their long-term energy savings outweigh the upfront investment. As demand for these emitters increases, their cost is expected to decline, making them even more cost-effective.

Transitioning to a low-carbon heating future requires a comprehensive approach that encompasses phasing out direct-fired heat generators, adopting low-carbon emitters, and utilising efficient heat pumps. By embracing these technologies, we can significantly reduce our carbon footprint, contribute to a cleaner environment, and create a more sustainable heating infrastructure.

Businesses in the industrial and commercial sectors have a major opportunity to lead the way in this transition. By adopting low-carbon heating solutions, businesses can reduce their carbon footprint, save money on energy costs, and improve their environmental performance.

Together, we can make a positive impact on the environment and pave the way for a more sustainable future.

Metropolitan Trench Heating is a discreet and efficient way to heat a space, particularly one with large areas of glazing. The trench grilles and trim at Hanley Library are finished in anodised satin silver and will effectively eliminate draughts by allowing cool air to drop into the trench and pass through the coils, picking up heat and circulating it over the window. The warmed air then circulates around the room before eventually cooling and falling to the floor.

Two Forcefield Air Curtains have also been installed in the entrance areas, which will help to keep the library warm and comfortable for visitors. Air curtains create a barrier of air that prevents draughts and heat loss, making them ideal for entrances and doorways.

The work was carried out by Staffordshire Plumbing and Heating Ltd.
