Welcome to the April issue of Electrical Wholesaler!
This month’s issue takes a look at a number of rapidly-growing market sectors, and how wholesalers can stay ahead of demand and maximise profits.
With increased understanding of the importance of Indoor Air Quality, residential ventilation has become an industry in itself, beyond the expected kitchens and bathroom installations. On page 28, Domus Ventilation’s Paul Williams shares his insights on this growing market and its potential sales opportunities.
Elsewhere in the issue, Myenergi’s Lee Sutton takes a look at the growing demand for solar panels and the new market opportunity that this opens for electrical wholesalers. Turn to page 26 to find out more.
Meanwhile, a new report from Schneider Electric shows that homeowners are not leveraging available technology to reduce energy costs and emissions. Home energy consumption has increased steadily over recent years, and coupled with skyrocketing energy costs has driven awareness of home energy consumption. However, the report highlights a wide gap between awareness and action. How can digitalisation help homeowners to better manage their energy usage? More on page 20.
Finally, for our cover story this month, Scolmore Group company ESP shares details of its most significant new product development programme to date, as it enters the fire and safety alarm market with the launch of Espire. Read more on page 10.
Plus, as always, we share our usual news, views, products and installations from market-leading businesses across the sector.
Enjoy the issue!
