What’s Involved in Central Heating Installations?
When it comes to central heating installations, the process is more complex than just fitting radiators and a boiler. At Alsto-Heat, we focus on the technical aspects to ensure your system operates seamlessly and efficiently for years to come. Here’s what’s involved in a typical installation we’ll tackle in Gloucester or Cheltenham:
- System Design: We assess the property’s layout and heating needs to design a bespoke central heating system. This includes selecting the appropriate type of boiler (combi, system, or regular) and calculating the correct radiator sizes and positions for optimal heat distribution.
- Boiler Installation: As accredited installers of Worcester Bosch boilers, we provide top-quality boiler installations that come with guarantees ranging from 5 to 12 years.
- Pipework: Our team ensures that all pipework is installed correctly, minimising heat loss and ensuring the system operates at peak efficiency.
- Controls & Thermostats: We install modern heating controls, including smart thermostats, to give you full control over your home’s heating system.
- Testing & Certification: After installation, our central heating installers rigorously test the system to ensure it meets safety and efficiency standards. We also provide Gas Safe certification for your peace of mind.
How Do We Tailor Central Heating Systems to Your Needs?
Alsto-Heat takes a tailored approach to central heating installations. Our plumbing and heating engineers assess your property and listen to your requirements to design a system that suits your lifestyle and budget. Whether you require a high-efficiency system for a large property in Cheltenham, or a compact setup for a smaller home in Gloucester, we ensure a system provides comfort and performance.
When Might I Require Central Heating Upgrades or Replacement?
Over time, central heating systems can lose efficiency, leading to higher energy bills and inconsistent heating. Here are some signs that you may require central heating upgrades or a full system replacement:
- Age of the System: If your boiler is over 10-15 years old, it may be time to consider an upgrade. Modern boilers are significantly more energy-efficient, which can result in substantial savings on your energy bills.
- Inconsistent Heating: If some rooms are warmer than others or your radiators take a long time to heat up, this may indicate that your system is struggling and could benefit from an upgrade.
- Rising Energy Bills: A sharp increase in energy costs could signal that your current heating system is not operating efficiently, and a new installation may be the best solution.
