DRU success at St Georges York

Historic York Catholic Church becomes first UK user of new DRU Kamara heaters

St Georges is an historic 19th century Catholic Church in the city of York. Designed by Charles and Joseph Hansom of Hansom cab fame, it was built in 1850 to serve the needs of the large number of Irish immigrants arriving in England.

St Georges is still a thriving church with a large congregation. In common with other period churches, it has had a problem finding effective heating during the long winter months.

It has now become the first church in the UK to benefit from new DRU Kamara powered flue wall heaters. They have a range of heat outputs from 7 to 16 kW, subject to the size of building. They have cool-touch casings and deliver efficient and comfortable heating with low noise levels.

The heaters have been designed with installers in mind. They arrive already T-plumbed, with a one-piece outer casing for quick and easy installation. They also have a standard 100 mm flue diameter, so they can be installed directly into existing flue outlets, a key factor in the decision by St Georges.

DRU Kamara heaters offer an economical alternative to central heating. They can be installed at much less cost and disruption than a wet system. And, with their forced air operation, they can heat up the building within two hours of the start of a service.

St Georges York required a total of nine Kamara heaters, which were installed by the DRU team of experienced heating engineers.
