Heating Installation and Repair FAQs

How do I know when it's time to replace my boiler?

Consider replacement if your boiler is over 10-15 years old, experiences frequent breakdowns, has visible corrosion, shows efficiency decline (rising bills), makes unusual noises, or struggles to maintain comfortable temperatures. Modern replacements typically deliver 30% or greater efficiency improvements, significantly reducing energy bills while providing more reliable heating. We can assess your current system and provide honest advice about whether repair or replacement offers better value.

What types of heating systems do you install?

We install a comprehensive range of heating systems including conventional (regular) boilers with hot water cylinders, combination boilers that provide instant hot water without tanks, system boilers with pressurized cylinders, LPG systems for off-grid properties, and renewable heating solutions where appropriate. Our installations can include additional components such as smart controls, zone control systems, thermostatic radiator valves, and energy-efficient pumps and radiators. We'll recommend the most suitable solution based on your property size, hot water demands, and budget.

How quickly can you respond to heating emergencies?

For genuine heating emergencies, particularly during cold weather periods, we prioritize rapid response and aim to attend within hours where possible. During peak winter periods, our emergency service operates with extended hours to address urgent heating failures. When contacting us about an emergency, please provide details about the nature of the problem and whether vulnerable residents are affected, as this helps us prioritize appropriately. For non-urgent repairs, we typically offer appointments within 1-3 working days.

What warranties do you offer on new boiler installations?

All our new boiler installations come with manufacturer warranties ranging from 5-10 years, depending on the model selected. We register these warranties on your behalf and provide all necessary documentation. Additionally, our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, covering all aspects of the installation. For premium Worcester Bosch and Vaillant models, we can often provide extended warranty options of up to 10 years when installed with system filters and treatment. All warranty details are clearly explained before installation begins.

How much does a new heating system cost?

Heating system costs vary significantly based on factors including boiler type and quality, system complexity, property size, and additional components required. As a general guide, straightforward combi boiler replacements typically range from £1,800-£3,000, while full system installations including radiators and pipework for average-sized properties range from £3,500-£6,000. We provide detailed, no-obligation quotes after assessing your specific requirements, and can offer options at different price points to suit various budgets while maintaining quality and reliability.

How can I maintain my heating system between services?

To keep your heating system running efficiently between annual services, we recommend: checking system pressure monthly and topping up if needed (we can show you how), bleeding radiators to remove trapped air when they don't heat fully, keeping radiators unobstructed by furniture, monitoring for unusual noises or smells, running your heating occasionally during summer months to prevent pump seizure, and learning to effectively use your heating controls. We provide all new installation customers with guidance on these simple maintenance tasks that can significantly extend system life and maintain efficiency.

Do you offer heating system maintenance plans?

Yes, we offer comprehensive heating maintenance plans that include annual servicing, priority response for breakdowns, and discounted repair rates. Our service plans ensure your heating system remains efficient, reliable, and safe while extending its operational lifespan. Regular maintenance can identify potential issues before they become costly emergency repairs and helps maintain manufacturer warranty validity. We offer different tiers of coverage to suit various budgets and requirements, from basic annual servicing to full parts and labor plans. Please contact us for current plan details and pricing.
