Expert Central Heating Services

Central heating works by heating water or air in a boiler and distributing it through radiators, underfloor heating, or ducts to warm your home. Gas boilers are the most common type in the UK, using gas to heat water that circulates through the system.

Gas central heating is a wet heating system where a boiler uses gas as fuel to heat water. This hot water is then pumped through radiators or underfloor pipes to heat your home.

A gas boiler heats water for both central heating and hot water supply. It circulates heated water through radiators and provides hot water to taps and showers.

The four main types are gas-fired, oil-fired, electric-fired, and combination (combi) systems.

Regular maintenance, bleeding radiators, checking boiler pressure, installing a programmable thermostat, and improving home insulation can enhance efficiency.

It’s recommended to service your system annually to ensure safety and efficiency.

Check the thermostat settings, ensure the boiler is powered on, examine the pressure gauge, and bleed radiators if necessary. If issues persist, contact a qualified engineer.

If you cannot operate your central heating independently from your hot water or if your system is inefficient, it may need upgrading to a modern thermostatically controlled system.

Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the size of the property and the complexity of the system.

The size depends on factors like home size, number of radiators, and hot water usage. A heat load calculation by a professional can determine the right size.

Costs vary based on property size, type of system, and additional components like smart thermostats. A professional quote will provide an accurate estimate.

Yes, power flushing removes sludge and debris from your system, improving efficiency and heat distribution.

This depends on your home’s insulation and personal preference. Generally, turning it on only when needed is more energy-efficient for most homes.

No, installing central heating requires professional expertise to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.

Most systems last 10-15 years with proper maintenance before needing replacement or upgrades.
