The installation of a central heating system is not easy

There is nothing easy about installing a central heating system in the home. If you have a new build house then it’s probably come as standard but for older properties there is a chance that it has a different system, one I knew of had a warm air blown system, or even none at all in some older properties. What does the installation involve? It is best to ask a Gloucester boiler installation company like http://www.hprservicesltd.com/gloucester-boilers/boiler-installation-gloucester/ so that you will know that the job is done properly. Let’s have a look at what an installation requires

The first thing that needs to be decided is how large the water tank should be. This is going to provide the water for your bath and central heating plus dish washer and washing machine. It has to have the capacity that its correct and that can be accommodated in the family home. There are lots of energy efficient boilers around that they will look at as opposed to just getting the largest one they can find. You will lose a lot of heat and the cost will rise dramatically if the wrong one is fitted.

The next stage is to choose the type of radiators that you want to have. This is quite a hard task as there are now more models to choose from than ever before. A traditional radiator, simple white and oblong is now not the only option. There are many streamline versions that can be selected. You can choose something more in keeping with your decoration plans. Bear in mind though that the more designer you go the more expensive the price will be.

The whole system will need to be controlled and the installation company will ensure that you have one that is easy to operate and understand so that you have complete control as to when you water and heating systems start to work and when they get turned off. Thermostats will know the heat of the house and react accordingly. It will also work on a frost alert basis and come on if it detects that a temperature is dropping to much so that damage might occur. The installers will also look at the position of the radiators in you home to assess where the best spots are for there placement. It can be very easy to lose heat and warmth if its being wasted on warming an underused part of the house. They will also consider the power of the radiator units and their compatibility with the home. Most radiators get put below windows to offset the loss of heat through the panes.

The final stage is the connection of the system to the boiler and the boiler to the gas main. This is extremely dangerous as we are dealing with natural gas which is extremely combustible and explosive if near a spark or naked flame.
