- LHZ Contracts
LHZ Contracts have been distributors to the Social Housing Authorities for over 40 years. We have a long history of pioneering new concepts, products and designs to the heating trade in Northern Ireland.
We are here today to indroduce the LHZ Eco-Electric Combination Radiator Central Heating System, which has been developed and used to provide high performance, low cost heating solutions for the Social Housing market.
The LHZ system is used and endorsed by over 60 Local Council and Housing Authorities throughout the UK, including the Northern Ireland Housing Execuctive with approximately 600 installations to date.
The defining benefit of the LHZ system is that it will only draw on your electric supply for between 10-30 minutes in any given hour for one full hour of heat (depending on dwelling insulation levels). This is due to the patened slimline storage plate that then releases its charge for the remaining duration.
The LHZ system is approximately half the cost to install than oil or gas, with running costs competitive to gas heating. The LHZ sytem has twice the lifespan than oil or gas and is maintenance free.

- The Big Lunch
The Big Lunch is a very simple idea from the Eden Project. The aim is to get as many people as possible across the whole of the UK to have lunch with their neighbours once a year in a simple act of community, friendship and fun.
A Big Lunch can be anything from a few neighbours getting together in the garden or on the street, to a full blown street party with food, music and decoration that quite literally stops the traffic.
Since starting in 2009, thousands of Big Lunches have taken place in all types of community across the UK. Last year an astonishing eight and a half million people took part in events across the UK.
