Unlock A+ Efficiency: Andrew Tyler's Guide to Boiler ErP Packages in Horsham & Adur

Hello, I’m Andrew Tyler, your local gas engineer from Prime Boiler Care, covering Horsham, Shoreham-by-Sea, and the wider Horsham and Adur Districts. 

That includes areas like Southwater, Storrington, Billingshurst, Steyning, Henfield, Pulborough, Lancing, Southwick, and Sompting.

Today, I want to talk to you about a crucial topic for anyone considering a new boiler installation in West Sussex: the Energy-related Products (ErP) Directive and the total installation package. 

It's the key to achieving maximum energy efficiency and ultimately, lower heating bills.

What is the Boiler ErP Rating?

Simply put, ErP is an EU energy efficiency directive adopted into UK building regulations. 

It sets the minimum energy efficiency standards for boilers and other heating products. 

For a new combi boiler fitting in your home in Horsham or Steyning, for example, it needs to meet a minimum of 92% ErP, earning it an A-rated classification. 

This is non-negotiable for compliance and for saving you money in the long run.

The Power of the Installation Package.

When we talk about an ErP package, we’re referring to the combination of a new A-rated boiler and advanced heating controls. 

The boiler provides the baseline efficiency, but the controls are the real game-changer for reaching the highest possible rating.

Fitting modern, high-efficiency controls can actually uplift the boiler’s original ErP percentage by a set amount. 

As your local gas engineer in Shoreham-by-Sea and the surrounding areas, my aim is always to design an installation that achieves the maximum efficiency for your home—ideally reaching the 98% A+ ErP package rating. 

This ensures you have the most energy-efficient boiler system possible.

How to Achieve an A+ ErP Package Rating.

Let me give you a real-world example of how we can reach that sought-after A+ rating when fitting a new boiler in Billingshurst or Pulborough.

Take a high-quality boiler like the Vokera Evolve Combination Boiler, which has a solid base ErP of 94%. 

We then pair it with an advanced, Class VI (6) control, such as the ‘Vokera BeSmart’.

The BeSmart is an extremely intelligent device. 

It provides:

• Weather Compensation: Adjusts the boiler's output based on outdoor temperatures.

• OpenTherm & Room Load Compensation: This allows the control to 'talk' to the boiler, modulating the flow temperature precisely to meet demand, instead of just running flat-out.

• Optimisation: It learns your property’s heat loss characteristics and figures out how long it takes to warm up. This means it turns on at the optimal time to ensure your chosen temperature is reached precisely when you want it.

• Automation: Full time control, geofencing capabilities, and WiFi access via an app.

By installing the BeSmart with the Evolve, you get an extra 4% uplift to the boiler's ErP, making your total package a stunning 98% A+ ErP. 

As an added bonus, this control combination extends the boiler warranty to an excellent 10 years, giving you complete peace of mind.

For landlords in Lancing or Southwick, the Evolve can even be installed outside using a 'Balcony Boiler Enclosure'—it’s the only boiler designed for both internal and external fitting on the UK market. 

This means easy access for mandatory servicing and maintenance. 

Furthermore, the BeSmart control can provide remote performance data to a landlord or engineer.
