System Basics |

| |
| A central heating system consists of all the
pipe work and radiators that are connected to the boiler. The
boiler provides the heat, it is then pumped around, this moves
the heated water from the boiler through the pipe work to all
the radiators, and back to the boiler for re-heating. There
are many types of system that can be installed, and which may
be tailored to your own preferences. A carefully designed system
can give many years of trouble free running and will not waste
heat, therefore keeping fuel costs low. We can also help you
choose which is the best system for your dwelling. |

What is Central Heating? |
Central Heating means heating from a central
source.
The correct term for a boiler is a Heat generator because the
water is not “boiled”, although water in a modern
central heating system can reach 100 deg.°C and above,
the normal running temperature is about 70 deg.°C although
you can tailor the system to suit your needs and, if working
correctly, it should look after itself with regards to turning
itself on & off automatically, should use no more fuel
than necessary for your needs and always have the house at
the correct temperature.
It should also provide all the hot water you need, when you
need it. A centrally heated house will normally be cheaper
to run than any other form of heating. For instance independent
fires, even just one fire can be more expensive to run than
a well designed central heating system with good quality controls.
