Why Consider Replacing Your Central Heating System?

Central heating ensures you and your family enjoy hot water and warm radiators in every room of your home. Before its invention, only one or two rooms in a house would typically be heated, making the idea of going to bed in December quite unbearable! Many of us have experienced a central heating breakdown at least once, and it's only when it stops working that we realise how much we rely on it.

Central heating operates through a smart network of pipes running throughout your home, all connected to the main hot water source – typically your boiler. These pipes supply both your taps and radiators. You can also control the temperature of your radiators either via a central control panel or individual radiator controls. For more information, you can consult your heating engineer.

Why Replace Your Existing Central Heating System?

With the majority of UK homes now equipped with central heating, you might wonder why you’d need to replace your current system. The main reasons include:

• It’s outdated
  Most central heating boilers should be replaced every 10 to 15 years. If your boiler is underperforming, it’s likely that the rest of your system is as well.
• Old systems lack efficiency
  Are your utility bills, particularly your gas bill, disproportionately high for the size of your home? Older central heating systems are far less efficient than modern alternatives, potentially costing you hundreds of pounds more in gas each year than necessary.
