Retrofit and conversion of existing buildings can reduce energy consumption, lower carbon emissions, and improve comfort and health. This is of particular value if you can also reduce reliance on gas Combi Boilers by 18% in advance of fitting an air source heat pump, or to stop using electric showers which take electricity when it is x3 times more expensive and when it is scarce. Gas boilers are expensive to service. Electric showers and Power Showers are designed to fail, and as 5 years approaches, the thought of replacement becomes an issue. The question arises of whether to replace or take the opportunity to improve.

Refurb or replace?
It seems strange but Councils and others, often specify ripping out existing plumbing systems rather than solving pressure problems with low cost retrofit solutions. Prescriptive solutions when dealing with Grants for Disabled Facilities for instance, gives certainty of cost because a new boiler, and a new electric shower, is a known price. Allowing a cheaper solution with the same performance is forbidden. ShowerPowerBoosters can give the equivalence of mains pressure hot and cold whatever the existing plumbing system is. The correct combination of SPB pumps can be calculated for any and all plumbing systems. For most ground floor showers with an efficient shower head and shower mixer, there is no need for additional water boosting. If there is subsequently decided there is need to boost pressure, then ShowerPowerBoosting pumps can always be added to give a perfect shower with a retrofit solution. There is no incentive for a plumber to refuse to fit a new boiler and electric shower, and no option to fit a retrofit ShowerPowerBooster.

Building Conversions
When converting warehouses into flats or homes into HMOs, our technology allows you to store water, this puts little or no additional demand on the water supply so you can have multiple flats enjoying perfect showers at the same time.
