Smart thermostat installation

Smart thermostats are growing in popularity in the UK, and are enabling Brits across the country to gain greater control over their home heating. When a smart thermostat is connected to the internet it can be controlled remotely via an app on a smartphone, tablet or desktop.

Depending on the type of smart thermostat you choose, you can access a range of functions including weather forecast integration (which uses the weather forecast to influence your temperature settings), and location-based heating control (which enables your smart thermostat to detect whether you’re at home – adjusting the temperature accordingly).

Appliance servicing

In the same way that we advise homeowners to service their boiler once a year it’s also advisable to have other gas appliances checked annually. In order to keep your gas equipment working efficiently and to identify any faults before they become health hazards, it’s a good idea to call a Gas Safe registered engineer to your property every 12 months.

POWERFLUSH

The equivalent of a deep clean for your central heating system, a powerflush uses chemicals and water pressure to remove the build-up of rust and debris from within your system.

It works by using high flow and low pressure – circulating high strength cleansing chemicals including a descaler, a corrosion inhibitor and a sludge crust breaker – to improve the efficiency of your boiler and radiators. It can help reduce the risk of breakdown and therefore increases the overall lifespan of your boiler. Powerflush is explained further in this article.

Gas appliance services from gas safe registered engineers

Whatever your gas appliance, our experienced engineers will carry out a series of tests and safety checks that meet strict industry standards. Should they find any faults they’ll make you aware of their concerns and discuss the next steps required to restore your appliance to full efficiency.

Regular servicing will help to safeguard against future problems and potentially reduce running costs by increasing efficiency.

After your appliance service, our engineer will present you with a report that details the work carried out in accordance with current gas safety standards.
