When It Is Time To Upgrade Your Heating System?

• Your home is showing signs of damp or mould

5 Things You Have To Know Before Upgrading Your Heating System

Thinking of upgrading your current heating system? There are a few things to know before you do.

1 – How Big Is Your Home?

The size of your home will dictate the type of boiler you need. For a smaller property of three bedrooms or less, a combi boiler is probably sufficient. For larger properties with four bedrooms or more, or for commercial properties with multiple rooms, a system boiler with a separate tank is likely your best bet.

2 – How Many Bathrooms Do You Have?

The size of property is important; but even more so is the number of bathrooms you have. If you only have one bathroom, a combi boiler will do just fine. If you have two or more bathrooms, you’ll probably need a boiler that can handle multiple outlets at once.

3 – How Much Will Need To Be Upgraded?

If your current heating system is very old, you might need to replace more than just the boiler. The pipes and radiators may need replacing too.

4 – Will You Need To Remove Hot Water Cylinders?

If you live in an old property, you probably have a traditional system boiler installed. This means that you might want to remove the existing hot water cylinders, which can be a great way to free up space but will require more work.

5 – Do You Have Further Home Improvements Planned?

If you have big plans for more home improvement projects, such as an extension or a loft conversion, make sure you take this into account when upgrading your heating system.
