At James Hargreaves, we're all about making your job easier, faster, and more profitable. That’s why we’re incredibly excited to introduce the new Strom Vertex Heat Pump range. This is not just another heat pump; it’s a system designed from the ground up to address common installation challenges and deliver uncompromising performance for consumers.
As a trusted name for quality plumbing and heating supplies across the UK, and with our commitment to low-carbon solutions and expert support, the Strom Vertex is the perfect addition to our product offering.
The Vertex Monoblock: Maximise Your Customer’s Garden Space
A sticking point with traditional heat pumps is the horizontal airflow, which can eat into valuable garden space and create uncomfortable cold draughts. The outdoor Vertex Monoblock unit changes all that with its innovative Vertical-Axis design.
Providing more usable space for your garden
- No More Cold Draughts: The unit features upward-firing fans that disperse the cool exhaust air vertically. This clever airflow management means you don't have to worry about cold draughts, damaged plants, or scattered debris affecting the usable space in your customer's garden.
- Enhanced Efficiency and Low Noise: By pushing the air up and away, this design also enhances the unit’s efficiency and minimises the perceived noise levels for a quieter operation. Even at 3 metres, the sound pressure for the 7kW model is as low as 29 dB(A) in heating mode.
- Reliable in All Weather: These Monoblocks are engineered to handle the British climate, with an outdoor temperature range of -25 to 43 °C
Installation Simplicity
The Vertex Monoblock is designed for speed and simplicity on-site:
- Integrated Components: The unit includes an integrated circulation pump, de-gasser, and pressure relief valve, providing everything you need for a quick and efficient setup.
- Single-Wire Connection: Installation is streamlined with a single-wire connection between the outdoor unit and the indoor control centre.
- Top-Tier Quality: All components are engineered to the highest standards, using premium materials from industry leaders like Sika, Danfoss, and Esbe, ensuring robust, long-lasting performance.
The Indoor Vertex Cylinders: Flexibility for Any Home
The new Strom Vertex tank range opens up heat pump technology for properties where a traditional outdoor unit isn't an option.
Compact and Versatile Solutions
The indoor units are compact and designed to work with the home's existing space, not against it
Ducted Airflow: The unit can be ducted to draw in fresh air from outside, or it can be configured to draw stale air from rooms within the home. This is a fantastic space-saving and efficiency-boosting feature.
- Two Model Options: Strom offers two distinct models to cover various customer needs:
- Vertex Cylinders: Produces hot water using its in-built heat pump technology.
- Vertex Cylinders Plus: This advanced model not only handles hot water but also contributes to the property's heating load, using the heat pump and an ancillary built-in electrical heating element. The Plus model (180/65L) features a 3/8kW auxiliary heater capacity.
- Durable Construction: Built with Duplex Steel 2101 water tanks and galvanised steel outer cases, these units are designed to last.
Advanced Connectivity and Support You Can Trust
Both the outdoor Monoblock and the indoor Cylinders come packed with features that show Strom has been thinking about the installer and the end-user long-term:
- Truly Smart Technology: The units are equipped with cutting-edge features, including full remote monitoring, Smart Grid (SG) compatibility, and Over-The-Air (OTA) updates. This future-proof tech ensures systems can stay current and integrate with the latest energy management solutions.
- Hassle-Free Setup: To ensure a straightforward commissioning process, the Monoblock units also include 4G/Wi-Fi connectivity and up to 12 months of free 4G data. This means setting up and configuring the unit is hassle-free, even if the site Wi-Fi isn't ready.
- Seamless Support: Strom’s comprehensive support package includes in-house system design, technical support, commissioning services, and on-site engineer assistance. Strom also provides a wide range of standard and bespoke pre-plumbed cylinder packages available for even faster installs.
The future of efficient heating is a clear focus for James Hargreaves, and with the government's push for low-carbon alternatives, Strom's high-quality, installer-friendly systems like the Strom Vertex are essential for the future.
