Central heating system install

Book Central heating system install

Installing a new central heating system means you'll have a modern, efficient way to heat your entire home and provide hot water. This can lead to significant improvements in comfort, energy efficiency, and lower running costs. A new system is also more reliable, reducing the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns.

When do you need a Central heating system install?

You need a new central heating system if your current system is old, inefficient, frequently breaking down, or if you are extending your property. It's also essential for new builds or if you're upgrading from an alternative heating method like electric storage heaters.

What happens on the day

Gas Safe registered engineers will first safely remove your old system (if applicable). They will then install the new boiler, lay pipework, fit radiators, and install all controls. The system will be filled, bled, and thoroughly tested to ensure it's working perfectly and safely.

How to prepare

  • Clear access to existing boiler, pipework, and all areas where new radiators will be installed.
  • Remove any furniture or delicate items from work areas.
  • Ensure your property's gas and water supplies can be isolated if needed.
  • Be available to discuss radiator placement and control preferences.

How to improve your result

  • Pair your new system with smart thermostats for optimal control and efficiency.
  • Ensure your property has adequate insulation (loft, cavity walls) to maximise heating efficiency.
  • Consider thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) for individual room temperature control.
  • Schedule annual servicing for your boiler to maintain efficiency and safety.

Why it is useful day to day

Enjoy consistent warmth, reliable hot water, lower energy bills, and a more comfortable living environment throughout your home.

Why we ask these questions

We ask about your property size, number of rooms, hot water demand, and desired boiler type (e.g., combi, system) to correctly size the system. Understanding your existing setup helps determine the complexity of the installation.
