L'Oreal keeps just as warm with half the
heating

"We thought we would need to run both EasiHeats in parallel, yet we have been able to keep one on standby all the time," Says Mr Nigel Withers, Engineering Projects and Maintenance Manager, L'Oreal.
Apart from the fuel cost savings this achieves, Mr Withers points to another benefit: "We have had some warm days this winter and we have been able to switch off the EasiHeat unit to make further savings.
This wasn't possible with the boiler, which would run continuously throughout the winter from the time it was fired up in about October".
Lower maintenance costs will be a further advantage.
Not only are the EasiHeat units easier to maintain, but they do not need the costly statutory inspection that the old boiler had to be subjected to annually.
