Why stick with the old style of room heating? Underfloor heating is fast becoming a popular alternative to radiators. And with good reason - it is the most comfortable, energy efficient and aesthetic (no radiators) form of room heating you can choose. Underfloor heating however is far from a new concept, the idea was first used by the Romans who built their homes with voids under the stone floors. Using open fires to warm air which was then fanned through the voids - You'll be pleased to know however that underfloor heating technology has moved on since then!

Some households use liquid petroleum gas to heat their homes if they are not connected to mains gas. The main difference between mains gas and LPG central heating is that LPG is delivered by road and stored in a tank, which you buy or rent from a supplier. Our local supplier is Adams Gas in Margate. LPG central heating is normally used in a wet heating system where an LPG-fired boiler heats water, which provides central heating through radiators and hot water through the taps. Some boilers designed for mains gas can be converted to use LPG.

Whenever a boiler breaks down it is inconvenient, but when it breaks down it becomes the curse of the household. Generally speaking gas fired boilers have a lifespan of 15-20 years, a combination boiler a little less, most components and spare parts for boiler of the above are usually available for the life span of the boiler. Once over this period of time the availability of spare parts gradually tapers off. At Thanet Heating we have access to multiple parts suppliers and in most cases we are able to source spare parts the following day.

Water leakage in a property can be devastating if you have ever experienced it or been involved with the aftermath of it. In most situations it is quite easy to isolate the supply and minimize damage. In both of the above situations (4 & 5) don't forget to shut down the boiler on the time clock or boiler on/off switch.

Thanet Heating first started installing central heating systems in 1962 at a time when most homes in Britain were still relying on coal fires or small gas or 1 bar electric fires. Nowadays it would be unthinkable that a modern house would not have some type of central heating. Most domestic central heating hot water systems in the UK are provided by a gas fired condensing boiler. There are some solid fuel and oil boilers that are still fitted where no mains gas is available, also air and ground source heat pumps are becoming popular.
