The growing demand for Quiet Mark certified HVAC products
'The growing demand for Quiet Mark certified HVAC products', is the headline of this feature in the January issue of HPM Magazine.
HPM spoke with Vaillant UK, Salamander Pumps and S&P UK Ventilation Systems Ltd, who manufacture products that have been Quiet Mark certified for their quiet performance:
“Heat pumps are becoming a popular choice for homeowners who are looking to install renewable energy solutions in their home. Vaillant heat pumps are designed for quiet operation that allow them to be used in installations where neighbouring properties are close by or for example on apartment balconies” explains Mark Wilkins – Technologies and Training Director at Vaillant Group.
Alex Finch Managing Director of S&P UK Ventilation Systems Ltd said, “In recent years, we have seen a marked increase in customers and trade buyers specifically requesting quiet products. Not only do customers want efficient, eco-friendly products, but we are seeing increasing demand for ventilation products across all applications to have low sound levels".
“To further reassure merchants, installers and householders that our product design is of the highest quality, our range of CT Xtra, CT Force, Right Pumps and HomeBoost have all been tested and certified with the Quiet Mark”, says Claire Thompson, Director of Marketing at Salamander Pumps.
“Knowing that our customers will factor in sound levels when choosing water boosting pumps, this industry leading certification gives those using our products the assurance that they are at far less risk of being exposed to intrusive noises that will adversely impact their daily lives. We are proud to have engineered products that are amongst the very quietest within the industry and therefore eligible for Quiet Mark certification” says Claire.
