Which heating system do I need?
Saving money… and the environment
Time for a new boiler?
A new boiler can save you up to 30% on your energy bills per annum.
A boiler is an important component of a home’s heating system. It provides hot water and heated air to keep your family comfortable year-round. Upgrading your boiler can save you money in the long run. You can also make a positive impact on the environment by choosing a new way to heat your home.
Boiler upgrades are necessary for any household looking to reduce their monthly energy bills or make improvements that will have long-term benefits for themselves and the planet we live on.
Combi-Boiler Heating Systems
Heating systems
Get a quoteGas central heating will produce significantly less emissions than oil central heating.
Only water and carbon dioxide are emitted and accordingly do not require regular maintenance such as cleaning both the heater and the chimney from combustion residues.
With a combi boiler, both the central heating and hot water requirements are provided “on demand”. No storage of hot water is needed, saving you both energy and storage space in your property.
Regular central heating
Heating systems
Book a surveyA regular central heating system will take cold water and heat it on demand. It will then be pumped around the system and into the room radiators.
Hot water is stored for use in such things as bathrooms, showers and kitchens.
A regular central heating system will usually also need space for to feed tanks – one for the heating system, and one for the hot water supply.
Solar powered heating
Heating systems
Book a surveyA solar-powered heating system harnesses energy from the sun to provide warmth for space heating or domestic hot water.
Solar collectors are the devices that capture sunlight and convert it into heat. These are usually placed on the roof of your property.
A heat-transfer fluid (usually a mixture of water and antifreeze) circulates through the collectors, absorbing the heat from the absorber plate. This fluid becomes heated as it absorbs solar energy.
The heated fluid then passes through a heat exchanger, which transfers the captured heat to the water or space that needs to be heated and stored for use.
Hot water & central heating
Heating systems
Book a surveyAn alternative to a regular central heating system is a sealed (or non-vented) system that does not have the feed tanks as part of the system.
The boiler will heat the water and it will be pumped around the system to heat your home.
Hot water will also be stored for use in places like bathrooms, kitchens & showers.
As with regular heating systems, smart controls can optimise the use of the timing and use of the heating system.
