Heating

What we do on the heating side.

A boiler that needs replacing or a house that never quite heats up: every job starts with a look at how the house is heated now and what you want from it. Then we tell you plainly what we'd do.

How we work out heating

How we design a heating system.

  1. Step 01

    Survey the house

    We measure each room and record the walls, windows, loft and floor insulation and ventilation, along with your existing radiators and pipework.

  2. Step 02

    Work out the heat loss

    Each room gets its own heat loss figure. Added together, they tell us what the system has to deliver on the coldest days.

  3. Step 03

    Design the system

    We do the heating design ourselves: flow temperature, radiators, pipe sizes, hot water cylinder and controls. If a radiator needs to change, we'll show you which one and why before you decide.

  4. Step 04

    Install and hand over

    The system is set up to the design, and we take you through the controls before we leave.

What the survey covers

  • Every room measured
  • Walls, windows and insulation recorded
  • Ventilation checked
  • Existing radiators and pipework assessed
  • How you use your heating and hot water

What you get at handover

  • A system sized to your house's heat loss
  • Radiators checked against the design and changed only where needed
  • The system set up to the design
  • A walk through the controls
  • A tidy house, with dust sheets down throughout the job

Questions

Heating questions

Do you charge for a quote?

No, quotes are free. Tell us what you need and we aim to call you back within a few hours.

Who carries out the gas work?

We take the enquiry and arrange the gas work through an engineer we work with. You still deal with us throughout, from the first call to the finished job.

Do you design the heating system yourselves?

Yes. We design central heating and radiator layouts in-house, based on the house and how you use it.

Should I get a heat pump instead of a new boiler?

It depends on the house. We handle gas boilers and, through our partner Alto Energy, air source heat pumps, so we can give you a straight view on which suits your home. Our renewables page has more on heat pumps.

My heating has stopped working. What should I do?

Phone us on 0141 673 4773 rather than emailing, so we can talk it through with you straight away.
