Plumbase Launches Ecobase, Its New Energy Saving Solutions Showrooms at Ecobuild

CRAWLEY, England, March 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Leading plumbing and heating merchant, Plumbase, has announced it will launch Ecobase, its new energy saving solutions showrooms, targeted at both the installer and end consumer at Ecobuild on 20 March.

Launching with 3 regional showrooms and further showrooms planned across the Plumbase 200 store portfolio, Ecobase aims to become the place for the trade and their consumers to get the best advice, latest product information and the point of reference for those looking to make energy savings within their homes or their businesses.

With the Green Deal, Feed in Tariffs and Renewable Heat Incentive, installers and consumers are being rewarded for introducing greener and more environmentally efficient measures within their properties.  Ecobase will help educate the installers in what and how they need to do this to ensure that they are working within these regulations while offering them the best products at the best value for money.

The launch at Ecobuild will include an Ecobase guide to energy saving solutions, as well as featuring a wide range of energy efficient products from leading brands including Grant, Viessmann, Alpha, Kingspan, Baxi, Purmo and Rointe. Visit the Ecobase stand at Ecobuild for expert advice and energy saving solutions for the whole house.

Managing Director of Plumbase, Andy Gribble comments, "There is no doubt that the energy efficiency market should be something which every installer needs to be thinking about and one which is a growing market with consumers becoming more greener and environmentally aware.  However, it is also a minefield with Government policy changing constantly and new technologies coming into the market. Ecobase is about being a one-stop shop for all installers and consumers to come and talk to experts about how to incorporate energy saving technologies within their homes or their businesses and gives them the best solutions. Ecobase will have the national support of Plumbase but with a regional approach with showroom managers being able to advise on local projects."

Visit Ecobase on the Plumbase stand N1610 at Ecobuild from Tue 20 March to Thursday 22 March at ExCel, London.
