In many hotels, civic buildings, leisure centres and catering venues across the UK, ageing hot water systems are beginning to show their limitations – not only in terms of energy consumption and maintenance, but also space efficiency and long-term resilience. As a result, more customers are reviewing alternative approaches alongside traditional systems, creating new opportunities for installers when solutions are correctly matched to modern commercial demands. This video explores a recent example at Belfast City Hall, an iconic early 20th-century landmark and a major venue for weddings and registrations. The kitchen serving its Grand Hall had been operating with floor-standing storage heaters that had developed pinhole leaks and were no longer economically viable to repair. With restricted plant room access and high-volume catering demands, any replacement system needed to deliver high output, consistent performance, and a practical installation solution within limited space. After assessing output, scalability, access and long-term maintainability, Navien UK’s NPE-24SWE tankless water heating units were selected. The installation not only resolved the immediate issues but also introduced a more modern, efficient and future-ready hot water strategy. At Belfast City Hall, the new system now delivers immediate 60°C hot water at the point of use, consistent performance during peak demand, reduced daily energy use and improved plant room accessibility. As a result, Belfast City Council is now exploring similar solutions across other sites.In many hotels, civic buildings, leisure centres and catering venues across the UK, ageing hot water systems are beginning to show their limitations – not only in terms of energy consumption and maintenance, but also space efficiency and long-term resilience.
