So, What Will You Need For Your New Central Heating System?

​

In short, a boiler and, depending on the type of boiler you opt for, possibly a hot water cylinder and maybe a cold water tank — plus radiators and controls for the system. We can calculate how many and what size radiators you will need (there are various rough calculators available online to help).

A room’s overall heating need is measured in British Thermal Units (BTU) and radiator manufacturers and suppliers will provide the BTU output for each model.

How Much Will New Central Heating Cost?

​

The costs of the materials will vary depending on the system and specification you opt for. You will need to factor in the cost of your boiler, radiators and controls, including pipework, plus the cost of having them all installed.

Installing Central Heating: Step-by-Step

​

1. Choose a boiler and select the radiators that will offer adequate heating for your home, along with new controls (perhaps with the aid of a heating engineer).

2. We help you come up with a plan for the system we will install. We will also need to decide on a good spot for your new boiler and where you want to position your radiators.

3. The radiators are usually installed first, at around four to six inches above floor level.

4. The pipes are then laid from the radiators and valves to the boiler, after which the controls are then installed.

5. The water is shut off while the boiler is installed.

6. All of the radiator vents will be closed, the system filled with water and each radiator allowed to vent through. Finally, the boiler can be switched on and the flow of heated water balanced using the valves.
