Specifiers Guide from H&V News and the HVCA now online

H&V News’ comprehensive directory of suppliers to the heating and ventilating industries and HVCA members is now available online, enabling users to find the supplier or contractor they want at the touch of a button.

Easy to Use

Click on the directory tab on our home page www.hvnplus.co.uk to see the Specifiers Guide online.

Many people will find that using the search box on the right is the easiest route.

Product Details

If you are tracking down a product, component/fixing or service, select the appropriate heading from the dropdown menu in the search box. Only select one of the equipment or service categories at a time.

If you need to narrow down the search to suppliers near you, you can do this by selecting Region from the dropdown menu.

Finding more than one Product

If you want to find more than one product from a wholesaler or other supplier, eg Ammonia and Ammonia Safety Equipment, the easiest way is to select the first item, then when the results are displayed, click on Refine your Search to add further categories.

Company Details

If you are looking for a company’s contact details, just enter the company name in the top ‘keyword’ search box. ie ‘Racsel Building Services’. If you need to find the nearest location to you, select the appropriate Region from the dropdown menu below.

If when your search results are displayed, you find that there are multiple locations, you can click Refine your Search to narrow down the region.

HVCA members

You can search for HVCA members in a number of ways. You can type “HVCA” into the Search box and this will give you a complete list. You can refine this by region. You can also search each of the sections – components and fixings, products and services – for HVCA members in those sections, via the pulldown menus.

On this page you will also find a PDF of the HVCA pages from the Specifiers Guide published in early 2010 – as with any printed directory, some of this information may be out of date.
