EOGB Sapphire Boilers Wins Prestigious Domestic HVAC Product of the Year Award
We are proud to share that Sapphire Boilers, part of EOGB, has won the Domestic HVAC Product of the Year – Heating Units award at the Heating & Ventilation News Awards 2021. This award recognises the innovative design and advanced technology of The Sapphire, our fully modulating liquid fuel boiler, and reinforces our dedication to providing sustainable heating solutions.
About the Award
The H&V News Awards are widely regarded as one of the most significant events in the HVAC industry calendar. Organised by H&V News, the leading publication in our field, the awards celebrate the very best in innovation, sustainability, and technological advancements. Competing against some of the biggest names and cutting-edge technologies in heating, including heat pumps and air conditioning systems, this recognition demonstrates the industry-leading qualities of The Sapphire and the significant impact it is making.
This year’s awards placed particular emphasis on decarbonisation, with the judges seeking solutions that address the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions. The Sapphire stood out for its innovative approach to tackling this challenge within the oil heating sector.
The Sapphire Boiler: Innovation in Heating
The Sapphire is the first boiler of its kind, offering fully modulating liquid fuel technology that works seamlessly with both traditional domestic heating oil and HVO (hydrogenated vegetable oil) – a fully renewable, sustainable fuel. This dual capability ensures The Sapphire is not only a viable solution for today’s heating needs but also a key part of the future decarbonisation strategy for off-grid homes.
In their feedback, the judges thought EOGB had applied a good deal of innovation. They praised the way we bravely stepped up from component manufacturer to improve the performance of the whole boiler. They noted, “At a time when there is a lack of clarity on the low-carbon options for liquid fuel, [EOGB] bravely stepped up from component manufacturer to improve the performance of the whole boiler.”
Our goal was to deliver a product that addressed both current market demands and future sustainability goals, and this award confirms that The Sapphire is achieving exactly that.
Competition
We are particularly proud to have been selected as the winner in a category featuring not only direct competitors but also leading manufacturers of alternative heating technologies such as heat pumps. This achievement reflects the strength of our innovation and highlights the vital role oil-fired boilers can continue to play in reducing carbon emissions, especially in off-grid locations.
The judges’ final remarks reinforced this, stating, “EOGB’s stats on the use of the boiler with the new HVO fuel show serious potential as a low-carbon option for off-grid homes.”
The Significance of the H&V News Awards
The H&V News Awards represent the pinnacle of achievement in the heating and ventilation sector, recognising excellence and innovation across a wide range of categories.
