Central Heating Installation Bristol
Why Install Central Heating?
There are a number of reasons why you may be interested in services for central heating installation Bristol. You may be involved in a renovation project where a property has been stripped back and needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. Alternatively, it could be that your existing system is old, worn and needs a refit. More commonly, the majority of people searching for central heating installation Bristol are doing so because they want to make the transition from electric heating to gas. The benefits of this switchover are well founded as central heating is proven to be 3 to 4 times cheaper than electricity.
What makes a central heating system?
The three components of the central heating system are the boiler (this will heat the water), pipes (which will carry the heated water around the house) and the radiator system (which will provide heat to a respective area). If you are looking for central heating installation Bristol our friendly team can help advise on any of the following:
Boiler – As a highly reputable provider of central heating installation Bristol, the boiler is probably one of the most asked about components of the central heating system by customers. There are many different options for choosing a boiler which are detailed on our handy boiler guide page. If you are looking to install a system in a large household with multiple bathrooms then a conventional boiler is best suited as it can pre-heat large amounts of water for simultaneous use. The size of the boiler is also dictated by the size of your property and the typical demands for hot water in the building. Boiler sizes are usually rated in Kws and on average a detached house mostly uses a 30Kw model.
Pipes – The piping system will carry your hot water from the boiler to the where the heat is needed. The most common configuration is the double pipe system where hot water is pumped into a radiator through one pipe and then sent back through an output pipe to the boiler for reheating. This setup is usually more efficient than a single pipe system where hot water is pumped through a radiator and is then mixed back into the main pipe having been cooled down. This results in the next radiator further up the chain being fed cooler water from the main feed pipe.
Radiators – Choosing radiators is usually a very simple task. The main thing to consider is the size and insulation of the room as this will determine how much heating power you will need. From there you can then decide how many radiators you need and how big each radiator should be. You should also think about how you want to furnish the room and plan radiator placement accordingly. An example of why this is important is if you installed a radiator along the wall of a living room only for it to be totally covered by the back of a sofa, heat would be absorbed by the sofa and would not heat the room. If you are still not completely sure about the best radiator placement for your home, we would be happy to advise you on the matter along with anything else relating to central heating installation Bristol.

How To Choose The Safest Gas Boiler Installers Bristol
If your boiler is in severe ill health the chances are that you will soon be looking for a new one as part of a replacement package service. The process of choosing a boiler rarely comes at a good time and let’s face it, having to suddenly replace a boiler is hardly a welcome event financially. Whilst the main focus would be to try and find the most competitive quote for boiler replacement, many of us overlook how vital it is to ensure that our installer is Gas Safe registered. Gas boiler installers Bristol come in many shapes and sizes but here at Taps On Plumbing, we insist on employing only the highest calibre gas engineers.
Why is it important to have gas safe registered engineers?
Condensing boilers work by perpetually burning mains gas to heat a circulating stream of water which is then pumped around a building via radiators to emit heat. If a boiler is not installed properly then there is a danger of combustible mains gas leaking from the unit and into the building. All boilers are also fitted with a “flue”, a term used to describe a pipe that channels away deadly carbon monoxide from the household as it is produced in the combustion process. If the flue is not installed correctly, your household could be exposed to deadly carbon monoxide gases. In addition, unsafe gas work can also cause fires and even explosions. If you want to hire the best gas boiler installers Bristol, Taps on plumbing are ready to help you today. We are a Checkatrade verified business so you can have full confidence and peace of mind that your installation will be safely carried out by professionals.
What should I check?
Check your engineer is Gas Safe registered – You can verify if your engineer is gas safe registered by searching the Gas Safe website. Alternatively, you can ring the Gas Safe helpline and confirm your engineer’s registration there. You can carry out a check by quoting or searching the 7 digit engineer licence number which can be found on the card.
Check that they are qualified to carry out your work – Even if your engineer is gas safe registered, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are qualified to carry out all types of work on every appliance. Check the back of your engineer’s card and make sure that the work that they are carrying out is listed as an up to date qualification (eg. for gas boiler installers Bristol, they must have the “gas boiler” qualification). No matter what work is being carried out, make sure that “pipework” is listed as an up to date qualification, this is the minimum safety qualification required for an engineer to carry out any work.
From day one Taps On Plumbing has been dedicated to delivering the safest boiler installations carried out by highly skilled professionals. This unwavering commitment to quality has won us the reputation as one of the most sought-after gas boiler installers Bristol.
