This month Grant are introducing fourteen new Vortex condensing boilers and six updated models, including internal and external wall hung ranges.

Grant is moving into a whole new arena with the launch of their first ever Vortex wall hung range, comprising four internal and four external SEDBUK A rated versions in both open vented and system variants, listed under the Eco category.

The existing condensing Utility models have been split into two ranges, the Grant Vortex Pro (includes programmer option) and the competitively priced Grant Vortex Eco (excludes programmer option). The two existing Vortex Kitchen models are no longer available and now fall under the Vortex Pro range.

There are also a brand new electronic versions of the Grant Vortex Combi range available in both internal and external models.

All new and existing Grant Vortex boilers are compatible with the EZ-Fit flue systems.

Brochures for the complete Grant range can be found here.

Saturday 26 July saw the Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Football Team take on Horncastle Town FC for the inaugural Heating Support Challenge Cup at The Wong In Horncastle.

The pre-season friendly took place with temperatures in the high twenties and was a demanding game for all involved. Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue started the strongest and built a 0-3 lead before Horncastle Town replied with two goals close together in the second half to set up a nail biting finish. Despite a much improved Horncastle Town performance, Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue scored again to clinch an exciting game, 2-4.

This year was the first time the game has been contested for a trophy and the event incorporated an opportunity to see some fire service vehicles and get fire and road safety information before the match. This is something Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue hope to develop further in future years.

Heating Support continue to sponsor the Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Football Team who play in the English National Cup and British National Cup competitions, in both the ‘open age’ and ‘over 35’ categories.

Following a restructure, Grandee Oil Appliances are now manufactured and marketed by Grandee Boilers Ltd - Heating World no longer trades. Grandee Boilers are one of the UK’s leading innovators in high efficiency condensing oil boilers.

The Sunvic Select series of Heating Controls has been our best selling range over the last 10 years. Sunvic have been quick to identify a quality issue in the last batch of 207 XL Programmers, and have launched their new updated models - the XLS range. The 207 XLS replaces the 207 XL, and the all new 307 XLS is the first competitively priced 3 Channel Programmer on the market.

The Select 207 XLS has 7 day, 5/2 day and 24 hour programming options, with two independently time controlled channels. Designed for use with fully pumped Central Heating Systems, with option for Gravity systems, using a 3 port mid position motorised valve or two 2 port zone valves.

The superb new 307 XLS has a 7 day setting over 3 totally separate channels making it ideal to suit the Building Regulations which now require properties above 150 sq m floor space to have two individual heating zones.

I have installed a 207 XLS at home (to replace a 207 XL which has seen no issues) and it is easy to install, setup and intuitive to use. The display is large and the buttons are clearly marked and well laid out. I certainly expect this to be a big seller in the coming months and years.

The Select 207 and 307 XLS are in stock now and all our Sunvic control packs from today include the 207 XLS Programmer.
