‡ƥ ‹‡– Š‡ƒ–‹‰ •›•–‡Ǥ
Several systems were looked at in
the design stage from electric to wet
systems. The project was awarded to
Ecovolt because they could deliver
everything the design team required
and within the allocated budget.
P. Malone Electrical headed up
the electrical team and worked
very closely with Ecovolt from
design stage right through to
commissioning stage. Philip Malone
from P. Malone Electrical tells
how his team made light
work of such a complex building.
“From the outset with this project
the heating system was all about
control. Every part of the electrical
infrastructure was designed for
the client to have either one main
tenant or multiple tenants occupy
the building, so the heating system
had to have the facility to control
multiple zones. EcoVolt came
to site and took detailed room
measurements and presented us
with a detailed proposal. There
was no complex wiring required
or control devices needed in
distribution boards. All that was
required from us was a dedicated
heating circuit to the proposed
radiator location and the radiator
paired with the main touchscreen
wireless control panel. The
installation of the system was really
so easy for my team. As an electrical
contractor that is pivotal for success
on tight scheduled projects. I
cannot recommend the JouleTherm
Heating System highly enough and
I look forward to using it again on
future projects”
So what gave EcoVolt the upper
hand over it’s competitors on this
project? Stephen Dempsey from
EcoVolt says. “There are not many
electric heating systems out there
where you can take a radiator out
of a box, hang it on the wall and
control it wirelessly from a central
control panel. It sounds simple
and it is. We have done all the
work to make it that simple. From
a single heating zone to 40 heating
zones that is what our system
can do without complex control
cabling or devices. Our system is a
contractors dream. Everything is
built into it. It is so easy to install,
‘Ƥ‰—”‡ ƒ† ‘–”‘ŽǤ ‡ –ƒ’’‡†
into this technology long before
our competitors did and we have
thousands of projects under our
belt and that gave the client every

Ecovolt are now launching their
2nd generation electric radiator
designs. The “JouleTherm JTr” range
are made from die–cast aluminium

RAL 9010 Pure White. Within each
radiator are their Kaolin / Ceramic
heating elements for excellent heat
retention with their exclusive RF

central control functionality.
The JouleTherm JTr comes in 5
sizes, 600W, 900W, 1200W, 1500W
and 2000W and is available for
