Vokera’s Winning Features Help To Prevent Theft Problems At New Build Sites
Leading boiler manufacturer Vokera is helping to deter would-be burglars from cashing in at construction sites.
Site security is a major concern for contractors, with commercial theft involving anything from household appliances to bricks and mortar. Official figures suggest that more than a million pounds of equipment is stolen from UK building and construction sites every week. Boilers are particularly attractive with their potentially high resale price.
Vokera’s pre-fixing jig and filling loop, which comes as standard with the Linea HE & Unica HE ranges, can get heating systems up and running and the system filled before the boiler is put in place. This feature is proving popular with housing developers who can install the bulk of the heating system in each home but not fit the boilers until the last minute, which avoids them being stolen. Once homes are secured the Linea HE has a feature that allows the boiler to be filled before any on-site electrics are connected. An analogue pressure gauge as well as an electronic pressure gauge allow this flexibility, saving time in repeat visits to a new build site.
Vokera boasts a range of winning features which come with most of their ranges as standard. Most of Vokera’s high efficiency boilers also come with pre-configured weather compensating technology. This simple control regulates the boiler to the outside weather conditions meaning the boiler always operates at maximum efficiency. An automatic bypass and frost protection are also common features.
Vokera’s innovative Autostop feature is also available on the Linea HE, Unica HE and Mynute HE models, ideal for social housing or private tenanted properties. This feature, when activated, can be set so that the boiler reverts back to standby mode after a pre-defined period of time if it has not been serviced. This helps to ensure landlords are able to fulfil their legal obligation of an annual service where they have identified potential access problems and increases their chances of gaining access.
Autostop is integral to the boiler and therefore cannot be tampered with or disconnected- unlike an external kit.
