Viva Gas

We are Viva Gas, specialists in gas boiler repair and installation and experts in insulation. We're a family run business with over 30 years experience, we're down to earth and we believe that the customer should always come first. After discovering the bottom part of some of my radiators were never getting warm, I rang Viva Gas for some advice. They were very helpful and sent out an engineer straight away who power flushed my central heating system.

Solar panels are a cost efficient way to generate hot water and heat your business premises. The panels collect heat directly from the sun. This produces solar thermal hot water by heating the water stored in a water cylinder housed in your building. Most solar thermal systems consist of solar panels mounted on a roof facing due south. In this position they get direct sunlight and can perform to maximum efficiency. Conversely, shading your solar panels creates less efficient system. Although most panels are mounted on a roof, they can also be mounted at ground level.

Commercial air to air heating could be the most efficient way to heat your business premises. Air to air heating is a renewable technology that works in two ways. It's also known as an air source heat pump system. Heat from the air is absorbed at a low temperature as a fluid, which then passes through a compressor and in turn increases the heat emitted. Once at the higher temperature, it transfers the higher temperature to the hot water and heating circuits within your building. There are two methods of air source heat pumping - air to air and air to water.

A ground source heat pump (GHSP) from Viva Gas can provide the perfect renewable alternative to your traditional heating system. Ground source heat pump systems consist of large looped pipes that are buried outdoors below ground level. They are efficient at extracting heat from under the ground. This heat is then used to generate hot water in your property, through radiators or and underfloor or warm air heating system. And because the ground remains at a fairly consistent temperature throughout the year, there is a reliable stream of fluid available to extract and pass through the heat exchanger into the heat pump.

Boiler repairs might appear on the surface to be a cheaper and more convenient option at the time, but in hindsight, many customers find that by biting the bullet and buying a new A rated energy efficient boiler, will actually save them money and time. Even though many boilers can be repaired, this can often be a false economy with the costs of repairs ever increasing and the potential worry of going home to a house that has no heating again, this is the kind of stress that in our modern lives, we can all do without.

Up to 25% of heat is lost through an un-insulated roof. With the correct measures in place, the grant funded room in the roof insulation you could save up to 240 on your fuel bill per year. This kind of insulation is predominantly popular in houses with a fixed staircase leading up to their loft room. Grant funded loft insulation is placed in between the joists and is netted in along the dwarf walls. This will stop any loft insulation escaping out of the side of the building. Insulation and plaster boards will then be placed along the sloping ceiling and along the flat ceiling space of the loft room, as heat raises upwards this will stop heat escaping through the roof of the building.

Overcome the challenges and complexities of commercial heating systems with expert guidance and support from Viva Gas. We specialise in the design, installation, servicing and repairs of commercial heating units, from pipework and gas boilers to radiant and warm air heaters. Working with businesses of all sizes and sectors across the UK, we're a trusted choice for commercial heating solutions. There's no one size fits all solution for commercial boilers - the unit you choose will depend on your premises, energy consumption, and budget.

As families grow, and our requirement for space expands, it isn't always as simple as deciding to move to a bigger house to accommodate our needs. For houses where the attic has already been converted and is now a fully functioning room, insulation grants are available to insulate room in the roof. Proper insulation can make a huge difference to the temperature and comfort within these areas, especially when up to 25% of heat is lost through an uninsulated roof. If you have a room in a roof in an older house it is highly likely that it will have very little insulation.

Experience the benefits of an A rated energy efficient boiler for less with Viva Gas. We help homeowners, tenants and landlords throughout Yorkshire and Lancashire take advantage of the ECO scheme, with boiler replacement grants that can cover up to 100% of the cost of your new system. Viva Gas is a trusted choice for the boiler replacement scheme in Manchester, Leeds, Harrogate, Bradford and beyond. If you're eligible for a free or discounted boiler, we'll source, install and service it - completely free of charge.

Viva Gas believe the central heating boiler is the centre of all properties, the demand for hot water and heating from a boiler all year around essentially means it's the heartbeat of all occupied buildings. In order to choose the right new boiler installation, we believe consideration needs to be given to the following points. New boilers vary in size, consideration needs to be given to the size of the new boiler in relation to the amount of bathrooms and radiators the new boiler installation will supply, plus extra consideration should be given if there is a property extension in the pipeline, which will create further heat demand for the new boiler.

Loft insulation is one of the cheapest, easiest ways to save energy and money in the home. Loft Insulation should last for over 40 years; that equates to 40 years of reducing heat loss through your roof and 40 years of putting cash back in your pocket. If you are thinking of using your loft as a living space or your loft has already been converted, there is an alternative; you can insulate the room-in-the-roof. This means you would insulate the space in the roof itself rather than the loft floor.

Naturally, being a Green Deal Installer, we are keen to spread the message of carbon savings and energy efficiency. Reducing fuel poverty continues to be a theme consistently discussed with customers, regardless of the install being under the 'ECO' scheme or privately. As a company, we ensure that we are at the forefront of new technologies and BEIS findings and news, therefore we ensure that all of our customers receive the most appropriate advice that is tailored to their energy needs. The work that Viva Gas Ltd has carried out via new boiler installations, boiler replacements and central heating system upgrades has resulted in us being in a position to support causes within our local community along with those further afield.

Understanding what type of boiler system is currently installed into a property doesn't have to be difficult. A combi boilers heats water over a heat exchanger directly from the cold mains at mains pressure, if you have good mains pressure you will benefit from a power shower experience. Unfortunately the combi boiler system cannot provide hot water and central heating simultaneously; priority is always given to the source to tap in the first instance. Heated water which is stored in large cylinders or tanks is fed directly to outlets or a central heating system, because the water is stored there should be no loss of pressure when running sources (central heating or taps) simultaneously.

One of our areas of expertise is in retro fit cavity wall insulation, which is installed after construction where properties were not built with insulated cavities. Retro fit cavity wall insulation is a popular choice for customers who are wishing to reduce heat loss from their homes and generally make them more energy efficient. By filling the wall cavity with materials that inhibit heat transfer, this immobilises the air within the cavity and ultimately prevents convection. Blow injection cavity wall insulation is often the method of choice for many customers, where a fibrous material is blown into the cavity via drilled holes until it fills the entire wall space.

Energy efficiency is a year-round issue, affecting the comfort of your home and the cost of heating it, especially throughout the winter months. Loft insulation is a smart solution, locking heat inside your home to keep it warm for less. Viva Gas is dedicated to helping homeowners, tenants and landlords throughout the North of England get the most out of their property. As one of the most respected loft insulation installers in Yorkshire, energy efficiency is at the heart of everything we do. Up to a quarter of your home's heat can be lost through an uninsulated roof, costing you hundreds of pounds on your heating bill.

Solid walls emit twice as much heat as cavity walls. External wall insulation reduces these costly 'leaks' and therefore considerably reduces costs. If your home was built prior to 1919, it is highly likely your external walls are solid, rather than having a cavity. Solid walls can be insulated from either the inside or the outside of the house and will make a significant long term saving in energy bills. When we met with the representatives from Viva Gas we were impressed with their professionalism, their understanding of our problems and they were able to meet our requirements at very short notice.
