About Eco Heat Systems
Background
The
business was established in 1997 by Patrick Duffy and Peter Taylor.
Peter served an apprenticeship in plumbing, heating and mechanical services at Ferranti, gaining Technical Certificate T2. He then moved on to Gus Robinson in Hartlepool, working on a wide variety of housing and other construction projects before branching out on a self employed basis in 1990.
Pat was also an apprentice at Gus Robinson, gaining the City and Guilds Advanced Certificate in plumbing, heating and ventilation. In 1993 he also embarked on the self-employed contracting route before joining forces with Peter to establish Eco Heating Systems.
The business now employs a staff of twelve, including three apprentices. Most of our work is done in area from Middlesborough, Hartlepool, Darlington, County Durham, Sunderland, Newcastle and out to Hexham.
Projects
A
good example of the type of work undertaken is at Mechtool Engineering
Ltd in Darlington. This is a large fabrication factory of 50,000 sqft,
with a roof height of 50 ft to accommodate overhead cranes. The project
involved the design and installation of a heating system that directs
radiated heat to the ground level of the factory. Using the solar principle,
the radiated heat warms bodies and surfaces, not the air space on the
work place. Benefits are that the heat is transferred with minimal losses,
giving energy economy and it quickly creates a pleasant and productive
working environment.
Our
work in this health centre in Peterlee was part of a major upgrade of
the building. We undertook work to improve the efficiency of the heating
system which has resulted in huge energy savings of 35%.
At Dryburn Hospital we worked on the conversion of old hospital buildings into offices with shower and other welfare facilities for maintenance staff.
In
the Black Cat lounge at Sunderland FC we installed the complete heating
and sanitary system.
Other projects have included heating installations and boiler upgrades in prisons, nursing homes, offices, flats, clubs, hospitals, schools and housing developments.
