Dimplex Ascari provides Highland heating

Imagine living in a remote area of the Scottish Highlands where you’re several miles away from your nearest neighbour and you regularly face severe winters with blocked roads, meaning no fuel deliveries. Highland Council’s installation of new central heating systems powered by the Dimplex Ascari electric boiler means that life is now set to become much more comfortable for tenants. Around 30 households in the Ross-shire area of the Highlands have faced the regular predicament of uncertain fuel supplies, so it was decided to switch to electric heating for a more dependable supply. Everwarm, part of the EAGA Group, installed 30 Ascaris as part of a Highland Council contract to fit 100 Ascaris in tenants’ homes in Dingwall. Although 70 of the houses were in Dingwall itself, the remainder were scattered in remote locations outside the town. A second contractor, Wyvis Building Services, installed a further 65 Ascaris in properties in Fort William, at the foot of Ben Nevis, the UK’s highest mountain.Dave Chapman of Everwarm said that the installations in the 30 remote homes lent themselves perfectly to the Ascari. “Most of the properties were previously heated by coal fires with back boilers and tenants were having to stockpile coal supplies in case their homes were cut off by heavy snow. But because the Ascari is an electric boiler, the supply will virtually always be there, so tenants no longer have any concerns about fuel getting through.”
