They are a great idea, one atag model has a similar system inbuilt. I'm all for them being made mandatory on new combi installs but there needs to be some competition in the market.
 
pretty sure ravenheat had the main idea. or something similar.
 
Yep Ravenheat patented the energy catcher , similar thing , the Zenex I think is licenced to several manus ??

Alpha offer it , Johnson & Starley do the Renoextra , ect ect ! never fitted one yet , (have offered it )

They do look and perform brilliantly from what ive seen in the alpha video,but unless all manufacturers make it an integral part of the boiler
then i dont see how u cvan make people buy em.
FFS there are still people that wont pay the extra for TRV's-no matter how much advise they get.
and there the old chesnut that there will be some reputable gas fitter that will be happy to price without it-leaving the people that are trying to install to the current regs,loosing out.
Just like our friend J-pike with his 400 quid boilers for oaps-nevermind when the fan packs in in18months and it 250.00 plus vat plus labour.
He really knows how to look after em!
 
the major problem i do see with these devices. are the space. e.g fitting a boiler in the kitchen.
 
Looks aweful but any energy saving is good. I pressume it just acts as a secondary heat exchanger?
 
Its totally over priced.

If the boiler makers spent just £40 extra on heat exchangers they could recoup that energy anyway.
