Why hire a Professional Gas Boiler Installation, Service and Repair Engineer near you when you have 'no heating' or 'no hot water'?

Heating engineers specialise in the installation and maintenance of equipment related to heating systems. Some of their duties include the following:

• Central heating installation and removal: Heating engineers can offer complete installation of central heating for your home. This involves replacing your existing central heating, from lone gas boiler units to full pipework systems. As well as regular or conventional boilers, they can also handle specialised boiler types such as system boilers (which have major heating components built in), combi boilers (which heat water directly from the mains) or condensing boilers (which are designed to be more efficient by recovering wasted heat).
• Gas boiler service, repair and maintenance: Heating engineers can offer a comprehensive in-depth maintenance and repair service. This includes everything from conducting a gas analysis and testing and adjusting the burner, to boiler and burner cleaning, renewal of parts, setting the flow and boiler temperature, and function-testing the control and safety devices.
• Assessments and safety inspections: You need a thorough boiler and heating system inspection once a year in order to guarantee that your system is reliable, efficient and performing to standard. A professional heating engineer from a gas boiler service near you will be best qualified to carry out such checks.

Your boiler will need an annual service from a qualified registered heating engineer and other than this, you can make your house cosy and ready for action by running a few simple maintenance jobs.

Servicing a boiler has a number of advantages including prolonging its lifespan, making sure it is operating at its best, meeting the requirements of any warranty, and also making sure that it is not giving off carbon monoxide fumes, which can prove fatal.

Carbon monoxide, which cannot be seen, smelled or tasted, is known as the silent killer. It is caused when a fuel source does not burn fully. As well as regular servicing, it is a good idea to locate a carbon monoxide alarm near a boiler.

What is a Combi or Combination Boiler?

A small space saving boiler with everything in the box which provides hot water and heats your home without the need for a water tank in the loft or a hot water cylinder in an airing cupboard freeing up valuable storage areas. Combis can be fuelled by gas, oil or LPG, gas versions are the most common.

Does my home need a Combi Boiler?

Combi boilers are ideal for small homes where space is precious and where you don't use a lot of hot water. If you have several bathrooms, want to fill a child's bath and wash the dishes simultaneosuly, have power showers or generally use lots of hot water then a Combi boiler may not be suitable for you.

How do Combi boilers work?

The main difference of how combination boilers work is how they produce hot water. When a hot tap or shower is turned on mains domestic water flows into the combination boiler and passes through a domestic (plate to plate) heat exchanger. The domestic heat exchanger is heated directly by the system heating water (ie the water that goes through your radiators) coming from the main heat exchanger (above the burner) and then this heat transfers to the clean water passing through the domestic heat exchanger and goes to your taps etc. In this way hot water is produced instantly, the amount of hot water and the temperature will depend on the power rating of the boiler.

What is a System Boiler?

A modern compact boiler, containing a circulator pump and control valves, which works with a separate hot water cylinder, usually a sealed pressurised cylinder, such as a Mega Flow, to give big heating and pressurised hot water out-put. Fed and pressurised by mains water so does not require water and header tanks in the loft.

Does my home need a System Boiler?

If you enjoy a lot of hot water for luxurious showers or have to bathe a busy family plus have the space for a cylinder then a Sytem boiler is the ideal modern efficient neat design for those moving on from a Conventional boiler system (ie cylinder and feed and water tanks in loft).

How do System Boilers work?

System boilers are reasonably compact, burn fuel, usually gas, to heat system water which is pumped out of the boiler and then goes through a motorised valves to either heat a network of radiators and underfloor heating coils or  through the heating coil inside the hot water cylinder. System boilers are modern in design and use flue heat recovery to ensure high efficiency.

What is a Conventional Boiler?

A simple boiler which does not contain a pump of control valves. The pump, control valves will be fitted or may already exist external to the boiler. Hot water will be via a hot water cylinder, probably non pressurised and hopefully indirect (ie not primatic which are rarely seen let alone fitted nowadays). The cyclinder will be filled from a water tank (large) and the heating system will have an header tank (small) with an overflow pipe allowing expansion as heating system gets hot.

Does my home need a Conventional Boiler?

If your heating system is already set up and your boiler is beyond economic repair you can either take the opportunity to up-grade to a system boiler and pressurised hot water cylinder or you can choose the cheaper option of simply replacing your old conventional boiler with something similar.

How do Conventional Boilers work?

Conventional boilers simply heat water and rely on an extenal pump to circulate and external valves to turn on heating and hot water subject to whatever external thermostat, timer, programmer are fitted.

Condensing: Under current Building Regulations all newly installed gas and oil-fired boilers must be Condensing Boilers due to their energy efficiency. They extract a much higher percentage of heat from the fuel being burned, as well as obtaining heat from the flue gases that old-fashioned boilers would have discharged into the atmosphere.

Oil and solid fuel-fired:There are some parts of the country, particularly in rural areas, where there is no gas supply. Therefore boilers fitted in homes in these locations need to use an alternative source of fuel such as oil, wood or coal.

Gas-fired: Gas is the preferred choice for most people when it comes to a boiler. They are more convenient and less time-consuming to operate than solid fuel versions, where you have to have somewhere to store the fuel, unless an automatic hopper is fitted, the fuel has to be manually fed into the boiler and residual ash needs to be regularly cleared away.

A qualified heating engineer will quickly and easily service your boilers to keep them running at the optimum level and head off any problems.
