Why Install Hot Water Maintenance Trace Heating?

Today's market is calling out for more cost efficient and environmentally friendly solutions. This has never been more true than in hot water supply and distribution where energy consumption is a significant proportion of a building energy usage.

The combination of hot water maintenance trace heating and the correct thermal insulation will:

• Reduce the amount of pipework required to supply the hot water by removing the need for the 'return' part of a flow and return system.
• Remove the need to 'heat' and then 're-heat' the water as required by a flow and return system. Reducing the power needed to heat raise the water.
• Reduce the amount of water wasted whilst waiting for the hot water to reach the outlet.
• Allow for periodic purging of the hot water pipework system to protect against Legionella.
