Project:

Dorma Bungalow

Paul GibsonProject Overview
Paul and Norma Gibson bought a piece of land in picturesque Cliffe in the North Yorkshire countryside around two years ago with a plan to build a retirement bungalow - work finally began in February 2007 and they hope to complete the building of ‘Buffers’ (so called because it stands very close to the end of a railway line!) by the end of November.

They decided on a dorma bungalow style property as there is a distinct lack of this type of property in their area.   They are also aware that as this is going to be a retirement property, there will at some point be a need for a property that is easily accessible and which will allow for full mobility in the future.

The couple wanted to build a home that was energy efficient and as easy as possible to maintain.  Therefore the heating system chosen was one of the most important decisions they had to make at the planning stages of the build.  They also wanted a control system which would not only control the heating system, but could also control other appliances within the home.

The Solution
Paul and Norma chose a heating solution from NOBO heating for a number of reasons; Paul says “we really wanted a heating system that was ‘set and forget’, something very quiet with little or even no maintenance required.  I knew from my own research that NOBO is at the top end of the market in electric heating products and that electric heating would offer a simple, energy efficient, quiet and maintenance-free source of heat for our new home.” MORE>

Which Heaters?
Paul and Norma are using the Series 8 range of panel heaters from NOBO heating in various outputs around the house in the different rooms – the Slimline C4N Model in various outputs ranging from 500 Watt to 1500 Watt is being used in the living room, kitchen, dining room, three bedrooms, lobby and landing.

Control Options
As fully integrated control is such an important issue for Paul and Norma, the Orion 700 Multi-zone digital RF Programmer from NOBO heating was the obvious choice. MORE>
