Underfloor heating has become a very popular source of heating over the last 20 years as radiators can look ugly and this is a more economic way to spread the heat all around the floor to heat up a room instead of just coming from one heat source on the wall. The pipework is embedded into the floor in loops, this can either be in cement, joists, screeds along a very wide surface area. The heat is spread around the room rather than coming from one single heat source like a radiator. Once you have the heating up and running it only needs to run at 30 deg C to warm up the room where typically a radiator would have to run at around 70 degrees.

In most central heating systems at one stage you may need a central heating clean with the power flush machine. Sludge builds up at the bottom of radiators causing them not to work as efficiently. A simple way to see if that is the problem is to feel the bottom of the radiators. Cold at the bottom and hot at the top is a very good indication that this is the issue. Not only will your radiators not get as a hot but your gas bills will be more expensive as the boiler needs to work harder to heat the room up.

All gas boilers need to be serviced every year to stop expensive repairs in the future. Our team of gas safe engineers can help clean your boiler to make sure it's running at it's best and performing to it's maximum capacity. There are different types of servicing which can range from just taking an analyzer test of the flu emissions to sripping the boiler down and giving the boiler what we call a proper service. Our boiler service costs 80.00 and for that you get a full service. Every boiler manufacturer will have a checklist as to what the boiler emissions should be.

Choosing the right heating controls for your boiler is very important. It can save you time and money and is good for the environment as you can turn the boiler on and off at your leisure without constantly having the boiler running. As part of the building regulations you are required to have some sort of programmer to control your heating within the home. This can be a simple thermostat to a Hive or Nest where you can control them through your phone. There is a lot of choice out there in the market and it's important you choose the right one for your requirements.

A combi boiler is the most common boiler on the market. They can be fitted anywhere in the house and take up little space. Most are fitted in the kitchen as they can be housed in a cupboard so are more aesthetically pleasing. The days were you have cold water tanks in the loft and a hot water cylinder are a thing of the past as they take up a lot of room and cost more to run and space in your house. Choosing the right type of boiler is a decision that needs to be taken seriously. You are spending quite a lot of money so it's worth investing in a good boiler as the cheap boilers don't tend to last as long and break down easily.

There are basically two types of shower on the market, an electric shower which is run off the mains water supply or a thermostatic shower which is run through the boiler. Electric Shower: Water runs from your mains water supply directly through a heating element in the shower then out of the shower head. Thermostatic shower: Water either goes through a boiler or hot water tank then straight out of the shower. The water is heated through the boiler first before coming out of the shower. They are fitted to hot water tanks to improve the pressure of the water.

This boiler gives you instant hot water from the tap. The cold mains water runs through tiny fins in the heat exchanger. This heats the water at high temperatures therefore giving you hot water right away. The heating is run separately from a programmer, it's very simple to use which is why they are so popular. You may have heard the term condensing combi boiler, all it means is they are more efficient as the gases are used twice in the heating process which makes them more economical. So instead of around 70% they are closer to 90% efficient now.
