What type of radiator shall we choose for our central heating?

Radiators are available in a huge range of sizes and styles. There are so many variations that there will be one to match your interior design preferences and when we come to conduct our survey we’ll discuss your options fully. Based on what you tell us we’ll be able to identify which range will be most likely to appeal to your taste.

Radiators are made from materials including aluminium, cast iron and steel, and we’ll talk you through the benefits of each one so you can make an informed choice about which type best meets your needs.

You can also choose which type of valve to have on your radiator. The valves connect each radiator to the pipes and can be standard – which act like taps, leaving you to turn the supply of hot water on or off – or thermostatic – which gives you the opportunity to control the heat output, saving money on energy bills and maintaining rooms at a constant temperature. Plus, multizone controls are a great way to adapt your existing system to a more energy saving option.

What happens when we’ve finished installing your central heating system?

After the boiler is commissioned and your central heating system is working we will:

• Provide you with completed commissioning documents, including the benchmark certificate for your boiler.
• Explain the importance of completing and returning your warranty registration – we’ll help you do it if you’d like us to.
• Notify the local authority about the installation – this is a required action under the Gas Safe scheme.
• Most importantly, we’ll make sure you’re delighted with the work, that it has been completed as agreed and that you understand how the system operates.
