Wirral church enjoys new low cost DRU heating system

DRU Kamara heaters fit the bill at St John Church Meols

St John the Baptist Anglican church in Meols, Wirral was consecrated nearly 100 years ago. It is located on the outskirts of Liverpool and serves a busy and thriving community.

It is a large church with a capacity of 300. As well as having services on Sundays and Thursdays, it is used regularly by community associations.

The heating system recently needed replacing. The church committee elected for new DRU gas wall heaters. The existing radiators were replaced with nine DRU Kamara 16 powered flue gas wall heaters in the main church and one DRU Art balanced flue heater in the choir vestry.

Kamara heaters are designed for very large, enclosed spaces, with high heat outputs, forced air convection and 85% efficiency. Each heater operates at around 50p per hour, so the cost to the church for an average Sunday service is less than £10 in total.

Furthermore, the heaters only need to be turned on when the church is in use, but can warm up the building in less than one hour.

DRU heating systems are in use in many thousands of churches, schools and other public buildings throughout the country.

The installation was carried out by HeatinGlobal of Manchester. They are part of the DRU Installer Group, which handles commercial contracts for DRU nation wide.
