Frequently asked questions
How long does a typical installation take?
A standard residential central heating installation typically takes between 3 to 5 days, depending on whether we are replacing existing pipework or installing a completely new system. Commercial projects or hybrid systems may take longer due to their complexity.
Are your installers fully qualified and insured?
Yes, all our gas engineers are Gas Safe registered. For electric or hybrid systems, our technicians hold the necessary electrical and F-Gas certifications where applicable. We provide all required compliance documentation upon completion.
Should I choose a gas, electric, or hybrid system?
While gas remains common, hybrid systems and electric boilers are increasingly popular. We evaluate your insulation levels, local grid capacity, and budget to help you decide between gas, electric, or renewable options.
What kind of warranty comes with a new system?
Every installation includes a comprehensive manufacturer warranty, often ranging from 5 to 12 years depending on the brand. Additionally, we provide a workmanship guarantee to cover the installation of pipework and controls.
Do I need planning permission for a new heating system?
In most residential cases, a standard installation falls under Permitted Development. However, if you are installing certain external heat pump units or working on a listed building, specific permissions may be required. We can advise on this during the planning stage.
