Something not to rely on for is your
central heating during winters. After all, if it is in good condition, it will
be the most effective and efficient way of heating your home. However, if it is
starting to falter and you suspect it is on its way out always consider Warranty People, you will be
looking for a new option. Here are some things you will need to know before
upgrading.
- Consider the
size of your home
The type of central heating you invest in
will be partly determined by the size of your house and, more specifically, the
number of bathrooms or shower rooms you have. The three main types of boiler
comprise regular, system and combi. Regular and system boilers need a cylinder
to store the hot water - this allows them to feed showers and taps
simultaneously, meaning your shower will not go cold if someone uses a kitchen
tap at the same time.
Combis, on the other hand, are useful if
you only have one bathroom. There are no tanks or cylinders and the hot water
is heated on demand, which means you only pay for what you use.
- Check the
whole system
If you have recently moved into an older
property that is in desperate need of some upgrades, you may find you need to
replace the completely heating system. In such cases, you will benefit from a
new boiler, cylinder, radiators and even pipework. All this can affect how
effective and efficient the system is. It is also a good idea to take out boiler and central heating cover
once this is done to ensure the system is protected and regularly maintained.
- Make space
If your existing boiler has a hot water
cylinder, you might want to consider replacing that too. You can either fit a
combi or relocate the cylinder. Modern units are typically smaller and shaped
differently to older ones, so if you relocate, make sure there is space where
you want to store it. Consider where you will benefit from the space most –
perhaps moving the cylinder to your bathroom or a cupboard is best.
- Consider the
future
Boilers typically last at least ten years,
so you may want to do some planning before you update your central heating. If you
are thinking of having an extension or loft conversion in the next few years,
consider whether the system you choose will be able to handle the extra
radiators and/or bathrooms. If you have a regular boiler UK with a tank that is
located in the loft and you are planning a loft conversion, you might want to
opt for a system or combo option that does not require a tank.
Whichever central
heating and boiler upgrade you decide on, it is wise to invest in boiler and
heating cover once the work is complete. This means you are covered for
emergencies, and the best boiler and heating cover types include an annual
