Central Heating Installation In The United Kingdom

A central heating system becomes an integral part of one’s home, given how the chilly UK winters can make one suffer. It is designed to provide warmth and make a family feel cosy whenever required. Incorporating high-quality parts and equipment and ensuring that the central heating installation is optimised so that whether it be a gas central heating system or electric boiler, it performs to the highest standards is essential so that the heating system functions efficiently for longer durations.

Conversely, if these elements are not installed in accordance with the norms, the chances of frequent breakdowns are very high, which eventually leads to inefficiency, increased heating bills, and other problems.

Bearing in mind how intimidating the shivering, chilly UK winters may be for a well-sized family, getting a well-functioning home heating system running is key to enjoying comfortable and warm feelings at home. For that purpose, finding the right central heating engineer can prove to be advantageous in the long term.

Whether you need professional advice about your existing setup, a complete renovation of a gas central heating system, or perhaps the installation of a new boiler, we are here to guide and help you!

How To Install Central Heating System

How To Install Central Heating System

Installation of the central heating system generally comes in three stages: planning phase, the installation phase, and the after-sales support phase.

Let's have a look at how it gets initiated at every stage.

1. Planning

  • Calculate the heat needs: Assess the size of your facility and plan the heating needs, including the type and size of the boiler and the number of radiators, along with supplementary resources like underfloor heating.
  • Type of Boiler: You will decide between gas, electric, and oil boilers. Of course, while gas boilers are the most effective and least expensive, if slightly more complex and tricky to install, electric boilers are simpler and easier to install, although they tend to cost a great deal more money to operate.
  • Cost Estimate: Costs will vary from £3,000 to £8,000, depending on the type of system and details concerning the property. Speaking generally, gas boiler systems are about average at £5,200, and electric systems are about £3,800.

2. Installation

  • Boiler Installation: Boilers may also be located in the kitchen or utility room, making sure that these are connected to a gas or electric supply where required and function well within limits.
  • Radiator Installation: Radiators are installed in every required room. Installation involves fixing these units to the walls and, at the same time, connecting them to the central heating system.
  • Pipework and Plumbing: Extensive pipework is laid down to connect the boiler with the radiators. The circuitry plays an important role in the supply of hot water and heat in the entire house.
  • Heating Controls: Heating controls are fitted with thermostats and timers that regulate the temperature and are coupled with the economic use of energy.

3. After Sales Support

  • Test the System: Once installed, fill the system with water, bleed the radiators to remove excess air, and then turn on the boiler to make sure everything is working as intended.
  • Maintenance and Emergency Services: Regular maintenance services and emergency repairs shall be done to keep the system in tune for efficiency and safety by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
  • Warranty and Support: Find an installation that will guarantee to cover your investment and make sure continuous support is assured.
