Combi Boiler Installation Angus
Why rely on a boiler that takes hours to get enough hot water for a bath and waste money heating water you don’t use

If your existing central heating is working properly it can easily to modified to run off a combi boiler

Valves, Thermostats and Jets
Most Parts Replaced

Modern combi boilers are reliable and just need regular servicing to keep them in perfect working order, however, certain parts will eventually need replacing
Moving parts such as water pumps and water valves or gas valves will wear while gas jets and thermostats can become inaccurate or stop working due to thermal stresses and oxidation

Underfloor Heating Installation

Not all heating systems rely on a radiator in every room
Underfloor heating helps provide a consistent and uniform room temperature without being as intrusive as current radiator systems: In essence; the entire floor becomes a giant radiator with a thermostat maintaining your ideal room temperature

Electric Underfloor Heating
Underfloor Heating elements are layed on an insulated substrate and covered with floor tiles to provide a heated floor; Electrical underfloor heating systems are popular in bathroom refurbishments as they can be quite expensive for whole house heating compared to pumped water systems
Water-based underfloor heating
Hot water is pumped into a series of pipes embedded into about 150mm (6 inches) of insulated concrete to create a giant heating system

Heat Pump Water Heating Installed

Heat Pump Water Heating Technology
When air is compressed its temperature rises; if the temperature increase is used to heat water then when the air is decompressed its temperature drops hence it's possible to combine air conditioning with water heating and saving money & energy

Heat Exchange Water Heaters
For water heating, you can add an auxiliary heat exchanger that extracts energy from the superheated gases in the heat pump compressor to provide hot water: The hot water is then fed into an insulated water storage tank for use
Geothermal Space & Water Heaters
Geothermal heat pumps extract heat from the ground during the winter months and from within the living space during summer to combine heat storage with air conditioning

Solar Heating

Solar heating can be an economical addition to modern home heating solutions
Solar energy can be used to heat a reservoir of water to slightly above ambient temperature; heat pumps and heat exchangers can then extract the energy for cheap hot water and heating
Solar Panel Installation
Popular panels to collect solar energy installed onto roofs or garden-based collectors to harness the sun's energy: Pumped Fluid or Electrical systems installed for homes in Angus
Large Energy Storage Tank
The secret to energy storage is in creating a large capacity storage solution with very efficient insulation to reduce energy losses to the surroundings
A small pump and thermostat system will control water flow and minimise energy losses

Types of Solar Power Panels
Solar panels are available to transform solar energy into either:

• Heat - Generally, a water-based fluid is pumped across a heat absorbent panel where it increases in temperature; the heat is then extracted using a heat pump or passed across a heat exchanger to raise the temperature within a water storage tank
• Photovoltaic (PV) Energy or Electrical Power - Solar panels contain an array of photovoltaic cells made from one or two layers of a semiconducting material such as silicon
  As sunlight shines on the cell, its energy creates a voltage change or an electrical field across the layers of semiconducting material that can be collected as electrical energy and stored in a bank of rechargeable batteries to power electrical devices

Combination Boiler Systems

Insulated Hot Water Storage Tank
Traditional hot water systems use a large insulated storage tank to store sufficient hot water for bathing and washing; Tanks often contain an electric water heater to make use of cheaper electricity overnight
What is the Difference between a traditional and combi boiler hot water system
The primary difference between a traditional boiler system and a combination "combi" boiler system is the way hot water is created and handled
Direct Heating
A combi boiler heats water directly as soon as it is required and does not need to rely on a tank containing pre-heated and stored water

Heating Systems: Emergency Repairs

What do you do when a radiator leaks or your boiler stops working?
Some things just need to get done straight away, if you know how to bandage or isolate a leaking joint you can minimise the damage caused by a leaking radiator but if your boiler packs in in the middle of Winter you need a gas engineer on hand pretty damn quick to get it sorted or find an economical solution
Frost Damage to Water & Heating Pipes?
If the water in your pipes has frozen and expanded then it has probably caused a split in the pipe; it may be possible to bandage the pipe to make a temporary repair but the section will have to be replaced and the exposed pipes should be insulated to prevent hat loss and the risk of frost damage in future
What happens if we accidentally put a nail through a water pipe or damage a joint or stopcock?
The first step is to stop the leak or prevent further damage to walls, floors and furnishings then get an emergency repair or replacement

Replacing Radiators or Adding New Radiators

Custom Radiators for Angus
Curved bay windows, designer bathrooms, modern kitchens, floor level heating: there are so many possibilities that most plumbing and heating outlets can't stock all the design possibilities, however, it is possible to construct very efficient radiators to utilise awkward spaces and match in with existing or desired design features
Increasing your living space and adding warmth
Many modern home owners in the Angus area prefer to create extra living space by adding a ground floor extension, loft room or garage-bedroom add on so it's no surprise to need the existing heating system extended too to add a new radiator in a bedroom or conservatory; it's also possible to replace old inefficient or outdated radiators with more efficient and fashionable radiators, towel rails or stainless steel designer features

Modulating Burner Systems can start on a very low flame, hence ignited directly before the gas flow increases

Boiler Microswitches
Boiler microswitches eventuallly wear or contacts fail to work: New microswitches fitted

Boiler Timer & Replacement Timers
Boiler timers : Rather than have your central heating come on as the temperature falls slightly; the timer allows you to control your home temperature and heating costs:
Set the timer to switch on about an hour before you normally get up in the morning and switch off an hour or so before your usual bedtime
Combine the timer with a thermostat for optimal temperature control

Boiler Thermostat
Boiler replacement boiler thermostats - The thermostat responds to changes in water temperature to ensure the boiler remains within safe operating temperature limits - arrange to have your Boiler boiler inspected if the water temperature is fluctuating unusually during normal use

Boiler Divertor Valve
