The chimney is one of the most important safety aspects of having a fire in your home. Chimneys that are in poor condition can leak dangerous fumes back into your property endangering the people within. Over time hot smoke, tars and acids eat into the chimney walls and erode mortar joints causing staining to the exterior stone or brickwork, and leakage of dangerous fumes into the property. Large and uneven flues can also create poor up draught causing smoke to blow back into the room. By installing a flexible flue liner into the existing chimney, you solve the problems quickly and easily instead of the expensive rebuilding of the chimney!

At Humphrey & Crockett, we can offer oil boiler installations, providing the highest levels of professionalism and the benefit of our many years of experience working with oil fuelled appliances in 'off grid' locations. We are part of Grant UK's G1 Scheme offering up to 10 Years warranty on blue blame boilers. We are also Oftec registered. Oil fired boilers do practically everything their conventional gas-fired counterparts can - and just as with gas boilers, you can choose from conventional heat only or combination oil boilers.

Air source heat pumps absorb heat from the outside air, through a process similar to how your fridge works, using that energy to heat your radiators, underfloor heating system and hot water in your home. These can work in temperatures as low as -20°C using only the electricity needed to run making them very low in carbon emissions.

Biomass fuel is energy that has been created through photosynthesis and stored in organic matter. That fuel often takes the form of wood products, dried vegetation and crop by-products. The most common form of biomass fuel is wood from trees. This form of fuel has been used for humans for a very long time, and this continues to be the case. Wood pellet boilers are a practical and safe way to deliver hot water, and heating needs to your home and behaves much the same as a traditional oil or gas boiler.

Being based in Hampshire, the water is very hard. A water softener can be installed to enable a longer life and a more economical plumbing system in your home. There are multiple advantages to having one in your home and once installed you will wonder how you ever lived without one! The great thing about a water softener is it is easy to install and easy to maintain and works without the need for electrical connections. The process of removing the hard minerals from your water is called ionisation.

Humphrey and Crockett strongly believe in the use of renewable energies as a form of heating in the home.
