Magic Heating Box

Anyone come across these? An elderly client was about to fork out £13,000 for one until I advised her not to. It's not just the price, though - surely the whole thing is impractical? Or is there any chance it might have some effect?

Not allowed to post the url, but Google "Magic Heating Box" and loads of links come up.

They're manufactured in Chelmsford and there are only two distributors, both seem to be linked to the manufacturer.

£13K!!!

Had a v quick look at the site... what exactly is it? A glorified LLH come heat pump???

On first glance it's not clear to me, but at £13k, the return on investment is going to be a long long time

Defo maybe an overpromise......physics cannot be cheated but this design is nothing new. If there is a lot of solar energy available then this sort of thing can work but there is a reason why this type of kit works well in Greece but not in Yorkshire.

It would have been featured in one of the industry magazines by now, I don't remember ever hearing about it before. And if it's £13,000 then I want £7,000 to fit one.

Re: Magic Heating Box

Magic Heating Box is a revolutionary central heating management system brought together by the Magic Thermodynamic Box company. From it's humble beginnings, we brought together 2 Irish inventors who unknowingly lived 20 miles apart to combine efforts and create this amazing new central heating management system.

The company were registered at Companies House 27/11/2012.

The products seem to solve problems which arise from:
1. water in UFH system when it is over 50 C
2. water in radiator central Heating system returning at over 55 C when there is a condensing boiler installed.

So are these real problems?
I am an office person so What would I know?
I can't imagine having UFH with water at such a high temperature but perhaps people do?.
And as far as I know modern return temperatures are much lower (it is in my house anyway).
Perhaps in the field you find these are real problems for many of your customers?

And there is another box which magically produces cheap hot water...but I got bored of reading, sorry

There is this company too: [DLMURL="http://www.supersealltd.co.uk/about-us/"]SuperSeal Home Improvements | About Us[/DLMURL] Date of Incorporation: 26/07/2010

What about this claim?

"The Magic Heating Box will reduce your heating bills by 30% in a standard radiator centrally heated house, and up to 50% on a wet underfloor heating system."

This can't possibly be true, can it?

Re: Magic Heating Box

Theres a bit that says it can make the rads heat up 70% faster and circulates water around the rad better so achieving a 1c difference from top to bottom on a convector rad. how i dont know.

I just had a thought if you wanted to lower temp in boiler and save cash, why not turn boiler stat down. And that free not 130000

Re: Magic Heating Box

Company making these were ringing local plumbers recently, inviting them to come to chelmsford to hear a "presentation" on the box, they were claiming to pay us to install them, we didn't go as felt it had to be a scam of some kind!

Look up Alistair Smit on DIRECTORCHECK also director of MAD(Holdings)Ltd. I don't believe in magic.

Re: Magic Heating Box

There are two thread about these magic boxes - confusing me,

From what I understand the saving is because the return water is at a lower temperature it keeps the boiler in efficient condensing mode.
As contrasted to hot water flowing around at 80-70 degrees.

It is not just about turning the heating stat down for a cooler house.

I don't know if householders know how to change the temperature of the flow & return but surely the heating engineer who installed the condensing boiler would have set it to the correct low temperature?

I haven't studied the figures so I could have missed something!

whats in the box is it a heat exchanger or is it full of gold ingots, how can it increase the flow rate through the system?

Got to be ingots, it's 2k cheaper than last month. Price of gold is at it's lowest since Sept 2011.
