DRU Art series gas wall heaters selected by Primrose Hill church, Dudley

Primrose Hill Congregational church in Dudley, near Birmingham, has been in existence for 160 years and the present building has stood for over 130 years. It was built over one of the Earl of Dudley’s coal mines and, despite tilting due to historic subsidence, the building is now stable and is a thriving part of the local community.

The church caters for around 250 visitors per week. As well as its regular Sunday services, it hosts Bible classes, Brownies, a youth club, dance, drama and many other activities.

After having its old boiler condemned in the autumn of 2013, the church embarked on the search for a new, modern heating system to replace the existing central heating. After taking advice from their local gas installer, the committee selected DRU Art series balanced flue gas wall heaters.

The heaters use natural convection, drawing air from outside the building for combustion and expelling waste gases outside using a concentric flue. They can be operated with no electrical supply or connected to a central timer switch. They can also be run on natural gas or LPG and are over 70% energy efficient.

The heaters only need to be turned on when the building is in use. This provides the church organisers with greater flexibility and control over their heating budget. The recent addition of fan assisted convection means that the heat is more evenly distributed around the building.

In conclusion, the church now has a more flexible, comfortable and economical heating system.
