Central Heating

Central Heating Installation & Upgrades

Full central heating systems across the Scottish Borders & East Lothian — first-time installations, system conversions (open-vent to sealed, gravity to fully-pumped), radiator and TRV upgrades, power-flushes, magnetic filter retrofits and zoning. We design the system around your property's actual heat-loss and hot-water demand, not a generic kW rule of thumb, so the result is a quiet, balanced system that warms every room evenly rather than one hot rad and three cold ones.

Who this is for

  • Homeowners with cold rooms or uneven heating
  • Renovators converting an open-vent system to a sealed combi
  • Period-property owners modernising original pipework and emitters
  • Anyone wanting a properly balanced, quieter, more efficient system

Why homeowners choose us

  • Room-by-room radiator sizing — no more cold bedrooms or scorching hallways.
  • TRVs on every radiator (except the bypass) for room-level temperature control.
  • Magnetic system filter fitted to protect the boiler from sludge and debris.
  • Power-flush included on system upgrades to remove existing corrosion.
  • Zoning (upstairs/downstairs or front/back) where the layout justifies it.
  • Smart heating controls (Vaillant vSMART, Nest, Hive) fitted and configured.

How it works

    Heat-loss survey

    Room-by-room calculation, current radiator audit and pipework condition check.

  2. Step 2

    Design & quote

    Itemised proposal — emitter sizes, pipework runs, zoning, controls and timeline.

  3. Step 3

    Installation

    Pipework, emitters, controls and boiler tie-in. Power-flush at change-over.

  4. Step 4

    Balance & commission

    Each radiator balanced individually, controls demo'd, benchmarked record left on site.

Central Heating FAQs

What's the difference between a boiler swap and a central heating upgrade?+

A boiler swap is the boiler only. A central heating upgrade also addresses radiators, pipework, controls and balancing — useful when the existing system is sluggish, noisy or unevenly heated rather than just old.

Do I need a power-flush?+

If the system is more than ~10 years old or you're upgrading the boiler on an unflushed system, yes — manufacturer warranties typically require it. We test the system water and recommend honestly rather than blanket-selling flushes.

Can you zone my heating?+

Yes — most homes benefit from at least two zones (e.g. upstairs / downstairs or living / sleeping). We cost zoning alongside the boiler and controls so you see the full picture before committing.
