Why Central Heating
Why Reliable Central Heating Is Important
For many homeowners, a domestic heating system is an annoyance to be tolerated until a malfunction occurs. A modern, well-balanced system is much more than just a means to warm the rooms in your house; poorly performing systems use excessive amounts of energy to heat a home, which has a direct impact on your energy bills.

For many homeowners, a domestic heating system is an annoyance to be tolerated until a malfunction occurs. A modern, well-balanced system is much more than just a means to warm the rooms in your house; poorly performing systems use excessive amounts of energy to heat a home, which has a direct impact on your energy bills.
Central Heating Installation Service
Whether you are having your home extended, the loft converted, or a complete central heating system fitted, our installation service is designed around the specific heating requirements of your property.
Gas Central Heating Installation
The majority of our domestic central heating installations are gas-powered, and a correctly sized gas central heating installation will always offer the most cost-effective means of heating a property in the UK. Our Gas Safe registered engineers can handle all aspects of a gas central heating installation from pipework to commissioning.
Boiler Heating System Repair
The cause of many boiler failures can be easily rectified through boiler heating system repair. Faulty diverter valves, pressure sensors, and PCBs are often to blame. Our engineers can identify the exact cause on a first visit, rather than using the time-consuming and costly process of elimination.
New Central Heating System Installation
If your current central heating system is more than 15 years old, constantly breaking down, or undersized for the property, a new central heating system installation will almost certainly be more cost-effective in the long run. Our engineers will always advise on the most cost-effective option for your property.
Radiator Installation & Replacement
Cold spots and rooms that fail to reach the desired temperature are often caused by an undersized radiator or by radiators that have simply reached the end of their working life. We offer a full radiator replacement service as part of a full central heating system upgrade or on an individual basis.
Heating System Upgrades
Sometimes a boiler upgrade is not the answer; our engineers can advise on the most cost-effective heating system upgrades, new pipework, filters, and cylinders can all make a significant difference to the performance of a central heating system.
Heating Control & Thermostats
With modern thermostats and control zones, you can have your heating on for only the parts of your house where you want it – drastically reducing gas bills while maintaining comfort.
Central Heating Services
A yearly service on your central heating will detect and fix minor problems before they turn into a costly repair. Problems such as low pressure, a slow leak in a pipe, and a broken seal can be fixed before becoming an expensive problem in January.
Signs That Your Central Heating System Needs Urgent Attention
Most major mechanical failures begin as minor irregularities in the performance of a domestic heating system. Paying close attention to the way that your heating system performs can save you a fortune in emergency boiler repairs
- Cold radiators at the bottom are an indication of heavy sludge buildup that will require a full system chemical flush.
- Boiler pressure decreasing could suggest a leakage in pipes, which usually develops slowly, or an inefficient expansion vessel.
- Any clicking, whistling, or metallic sounds could be a result of the existence of airlocks, pump failure, or overheating of the main heat exchanger.
- Floor heating circuit radiators being cooler than upper floor radiators could mean a broken balancing valve.
- An unexpected increase in energy bills often indicates that the boiler is working harder to overcome the resistance in the pipework, using more gas to overcome this resistance.
