The Ecologist publish their review of Oxyvent – installed in their Ecorefurb home
The Ecologist, one of the oldest and most respected environmental journals in the world, have published their review of the Oxyvent Tank. installed in the spring in their Victorian Terrace, their review can be viewed online here – http://www.theecologist.org/green_green_living/home/1025302/ecorefurb_one_year_on.html
In the latest in a series of videos with Tim Motley of Pimlico Plumbers he talks to Paul Worswick of Oxyvent about the problems of air in central heating systems.
Shortly after installing Oxyvent and fully bleeding the central heating system, Tim and Paul show how much air is still in the system and how Oxyvent removes it!

After installing an Oxyvent Tank in London Tim Motley of Pimlico Plumbers discusses how Oxyvent makes your heating more efficient and allows you to turn your boiler down.
This installation was completed in a Victorian property in East London on a condensing combination boiler. Prior to the installation the boiler was set at 77 degrees, once installed by Tim, he turned the boiler down to 60 degress which will result in much lower fuel bills for the household.

Worry over high heating bills sees homeowners turning to energy efficient product
Increasing fears over rising fuel prices and domestic winter energy bills, furthered by Scottish Power’s announcement to increase gas prices by 19% and the impending announcement by British Gas, are having a powerful effect on Oxyvent tank sales.
Launched earlier in the year to plumbers in the UK, the central heating energy saving product is seeing a marked increase in sales and enquiries. They are finding plumbers are capitalising on the traditionally slower summer months and offering their customers the Oxyvent tank as a technology that will drive down their bills in the winter.
The small and simple to install Oxyvent tank improves radiator performance making homeowners feel warmer but to work, a boiler must be set at 60 degrees (65 degrees when heating water). As many homeowners crank the boiler temperature up to 75 degrees and above to make their homes warmer, the lower boiler temperature setting required for an Oxyvent tank can achieve up to 30% reduction in fuel use which has a big impact on energy bills.
Homeowners with condensing boilers can achieve even bigger savings as the lower temperatures required for Oxyvent to perform means the water returning to a boiler will be approximately 55 degrees, the optimum temperature for condensing mode – not just when the heating fires up.
Paul Worswick, Oxyvent Director, says: “Were finding existing and potential increases in energy company fuel prices is driving enquiries from people worried about their central heating’s performance and next winter’s heating bills. As all energy suppliers become more expensive, consumers are looking at new ways to beat the price rises.”
The unique Oxyvent tank means plumbers now have a technology that not only has a pricing structure that allows them to make money on the product and the install but will make a big difference to their customers when they turn their heating on in a few months.
Shane Kearney, a heating engineer who offers Oxyvent to his customers says: “I was already familiar with the Oxyvent tank’s success in Ireland so it was an easy decision for me to offer it to my clients. I’m increasingly finding customers asking about affordable, easy to install products to cut next winter’s heating bills. The Oxyvent tank ticks the boxes and has created another revenue steam for me over the summer.”
Already launched to plumbers and builders, Oxyvent will be launching its tank directly to consumers over the coming months with a big consumer push planned for early September. Oxyvent is also calling for plumbers to become part of its UK network of preferred suppliers.

9th May 2011
Oxyvent, an innovative central heating energy saving product, is urging carbon conscious homeowners to cool down their boilers over summer to avoid large heating bills when winter arrives.
The new Oxyvent tank can save up to 30% on a homes energy bills by reducing boiler temperatures from 75-80 degrees to 60 degrees (65 degrees when also heating water) but makes a home’s radiators feel much warmer at the same time.
Although the summer is here, the pinch of high heating bills after one of the coldest winters on record is all too familiar, even for homes who have already installed existing carbon reduction measures such as insulation, double glazing and thermostatic radiator valves.
To make more energy and money savings, measures such as air source heat pumps and solid wall insulation are prohibitively expensive for most pockets. However, the Oxyvent tank has a realistic price tag so homeowners who plan ahead and install one now, will reap the benefits when they turn their heating back on this autumn.
How does it work?
Paul Worswick, Oxyvent Director says: “Everyone’s warming up now summer is here and doesn’t want to think about their central heating. But by investing a little now, they’ll be in a much stronger position, particularly with rising energy prices when the cold weather comes again.
With OFGEM predicting domestic fuel bills to double by 2020 to around £2,400 on average, finding ways to reduce your fuel usage is going to become ever more important.
With 57% of domestic homes energy used for space heating and 25% for heating water (source: DECC energy trends 2009), acting on central heating is one of the best ways homeowners can make their energy use more efficient and their bills lower.

The Energy Savings Trust is recommending that the cost of heating home should be much clearer when a property goes on the market reported in The Times, April 16th. This would mean potential buyers could identify homes that are very expensive to heat much more easily, leading to energy efficiency becoming part of the negotiation between a property buyer and seller.
The introduction of the Governments Green Deal in 2012 will see new legislation and regulation in place to help the UK cut its carbon emissions but what measures can homeowners take to become more energy efficient and reduce the cost of their heating bills now? Beyond cavity and loft insulation and draught proofing, there was little on the market that didn’t cost thousands until Oxyvent was launched.
Not only does Oxyvent radically improve a homes central heating and radiator performance, but once installed a boiler must be set at 60 or 65 degrees – a much lower setting than most homes currently operate at. This can save a home up to 30% on their heating bills.
With a realistic price tag, for homes that are already thinking about how their expensive heating bills may affect the market price of their home, the Oxyvent tank is a must.
