Central heating advice from a heating engineer near you
What the symptom means, what you can try yourself, and when it is worth calling us.
- Central heating Cold radiators: how a heating engineer tells bleed, balance and flush apart Where a radiator is cold tells you the fix. Cold at the top, cold at the bottom, or whole rooms never warm: three symptoms, three different jobs, and only one of them needs a powerflush.
- Central heating Boiler pressure keeps dropping: how often is too often? Topping up once or twice a year is normal. Weekly is a fault. How to read your pressure gauge, the two usual causes, and why topping up every week costs more than the repair.
- Central heating Radiators hot, taps cold: why a combi stops making hot water When a combi boiler heats the radiators but not the taps, the fault is usually one part: the diverter valve. What it does, what to check first, and why it is a repair, not a new boiler.
- Central heating When a powerflush is worth paying for, and when it is not A powerflush is the right answer for a genuinely dirty system and a waste of money for everything else. The signs that say flush, the ones that do not, and what has to happen afterwards.
- Central heating Boiler dead on a frosty morning? Check the condensate pipe first The classic January call. How a frozen condensate pipe locks out a condensing boiler, how to spot it, how to thaw it safely, and when to ring a heating engineer instead.
