Should I get central heating for the first time?

Technology is changing every day and in order to stay energy efficient, which will help the government to meet their target of 0 carbon emissions by 2050.  Getting first time central heating installed in your home is the first step.  Boilers are the heart of the home, controlling your hot water & room temperature.  Boiler life spans in general are very good.

How does my central heating system work?

When you turn on your heating in your home, your boiler pumps hot water through the pipes into your radiator, and reheats as necessary.  This is how your home is heated.

Future Technology

With technology so rapidly changing every day we recommend looking at replacing your boiler every 6 – 10 years.  This will help ensure you never have a problem with your boiler and your energy bills stay as low as possible. Having the latest boiler technology on the market helps to ensure you’ve got the best energy efficient measures in place.  When looking at changing your boiler you should also consider the following:  usage, maintenance and boiler type. Never just base your decision on just the age of your boiler, keeping an eye on your energy bills will tell you a lot also about your boiler.  When you notice your bills increasing and or the comfort of your home changing i.e. it takes longer than usual to heat your home.  It may be time to replace your boiler.  So just to recap, If your energy bill are getting higher, your home is taking longer than usual to be heated and a little extra tip, bleeding your radiators doesn’t help, then it definitely might be time to replace your boiler.
