Heating Control Installations

Upgrade your home comfort and save on energy bills with a smart heating control system! Our advanced technology lets you schedule temperatures for each room, avoiding unnecessary heating of empty spaces. You can lower the temperatures on weekdays when you're out and bring up the heat just before you return, or keep living areas cosy while dialling down unused bedrooms - it’s all in your hands.

Learn more about our heating control systems here.

What are the benefits of having a heating control?

Having a heating control fitted can help you save money on your heating bills when used efficiently. You can schedule your heating and hot water to go off and on when needed and you can select areas of your home to heat and the required temperature for each room, rather than heating the whole house at the same temperature.

Radiator Installations

We can supply and install designer radiators in a range of sizes, designs, and heating options. Whether you’re looking at modern designs or beautiful classics, there's bound to be something that ticks all your boxes.

Not sure which option best suits your property? Don’t worry - we’re happy to discuss your needs and recommend the perfect model for you.

Have your radiators got any TRVS’s?

Thermostatic radiator valves do not control the boiler; they reduce the flow of water through the radiator they are fitted to when the temperature goes above a certain setting. Set them to the level you want for the room; a lower setting uses less energy and so will save you money.

Heating Installation FAQs

A central heating installation typically involves fitting a boiler, radiators, and pipework to distribute heat throughout your home. This process also includes assessing the property's heating needs, choosing the right system, and professional installation by our certified engineers.

The duration can vary based on the complexity of the installation and the size of the property. On average, a standard installation might take a few days to complete. Factors such as the type of system being installed and any additional modifications needed can affect the timeline.

There are various central heating systems, including combi boilers, conventional boilers with a separate hot water cylinder, and system boilers. Each has its advantages based on factors like property size, hot water demands, and space availability.

Newer central heating systems often come with advanced features and improved technology. Upgrading to one can improve your home’s energy efficiency, reduce heating bills, provide better control over your heating settings, and make your space more comfortable.

Your radiators may accumulate air over time, which can cause them to become hot at the bottom and cold at the top. You must bleed your radiators to release the air in order to ensure that they are hot throughout.

Not necessarily. In many cases, existing radiators can be used with a new central heating system. However, if the radiators are old or incompatible with the new system, it might be a good idea to replace them for optimal efficiency.

Before installation, consider factors such as the size of your property, hot water needs, budget, and any specific preferences regarding boiler types or heating controls. Consulting with heating professionals can help you make informed decisions tailored to your requirements.

If you have noticed that your heating system isn’t as efficient as it used to be, it might be a sign that the boiler pressure has dropped. Another way you can tell this is by the pressure gauge dropping to the red on the boiler.

If this is the case, you will need to top up the boiler pressure. You can do this at home, or call one of our experts and arrange a time for them to visit and help you.

Your radiators may become hot at the top and cold at the bottom due to sludge accumulation over time. You may need to clean your heating system in order to ensure that all of your radiators are hot.

Maintaining new radiators can help ensure their efficiency and longevity. Here are some general maintenance tips:

  • Bleeding Radiators: Air can accumulate inside radiators, causing cold spots. Use a radiator key to bleed out trapped air and allow hot water to circulate evenly.
  • Cleaning: Periodically wipe radiators with a damp cloth to remove dust or debris. For more thorough cleaning, especially before the heating season, you can use a vacuum cleaner brush attachment.
  • Checking for Leaks: Inspect radiators and valves for leaks. Address any leaks promptly to prevent water damage and loss of heating efficiency.
  • Balancing the System: Ensure all radiators heat evenly by balancing the system. Adjust radiator valves to regulate the flow of hot water and maintain consistent temperatures throughout your home.
  • Inspecting Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs): If your radiators have TRVs, check that they are functioning correctly. Clean or replace them if they're not working as intended.
  • Annual Servicing: Consider scheduling an annual service by a professional to check the entire heating system. This can identify any issues early and ensure optimal performance.
  • Protecting Against Corrosion: Consider using inhibitor fluids or additives in the heating system to prevent corrosion and maintain efficiency.

Regular servicing is crucial to maintain the efficiency and reliability of your central heating system. Ideally, annual servicing by our qualified engineers is recommended to ensure proper functioning, safety, and to address any potential issues early on.

Over time, the accumulation of debris and sediment within your heating system can significantly hinder the efficiency of your radiators and hot water heating process. This buildup can impede the flow of hot water, leading to prolonged heating times.

The sediment and debris can gather within the pipes and radiators, creating blockages that restrict the smooth circulation of heated water. As a result, the system needs more time to heat up, and the radiators may not reach their full heating capacity.

Regular maintenance is essential to prevent this issue. Flushing the heating system periodically can help remove these deposits, ensuring that the hot water circulates freely and efficiently. Additionally, installing filters or using inhibitor fluids can minimise the buildup of debris, preserving the system's effectiveness and reducing the time required for your radiators and hot water to reach optimal temperatures.

Yes, installing a new central heating system, especially a more energy-efficient one, can potentially add value to your property. Buyers often appreciate modern, efficient heating systems that contribute to lower energy bills and improved comfort.

Several factors influence installation costs, including the type of system chosen, the size of the property, the complexity of the installation, additional modifications required, and the chosen boiler brand or model. A professional assessment is necessary to provide an accurate cost estimate.

Yes, we offer 2 finance options for boiler installations. You can choose from fixed 0% finance on 6 to 48-month plans or fixed 10.9% finance on 36 to 120-month plans.

Get in touch with our experts to learn more and discuss which option might be best for your situation.

Choosing the right-sized system involves considering factors like property size, insulation, hot water demands, and the number of occupants. Our experienced heating professional can perform a heat load calculation to recommend the appropriate system size for optimal performance.

As accredited Worcester Bosch Gold Installers, we can provide a comprehensive warranty for up to 12 years* on our Worcester boiler installations. This guarantee offers peace of mind in the event of an unexpected breakdown.
