Earlston sits on the A68 between Kelso and Lauder, with a strong commuter contingent thanks to the Borders Railway at nearby Tweedbank. Newer estates off Mill Road and the older High Street stone properties make for a tidy mix of straightforward combi swaps and more involved system upgrades.
Full central heating systems across Earlston — 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.
Full central heating upgrades in Earlston are about more than the boiler. We balance the radiators, fit TRVs on every room, add a magnetic filter, replace tired pipework where corrosion has set in and zone the system if the layout justifies it. TD4 homes with long pipe runs particularly benefit from rezoning and a proper power-flush at change-over.
Travel from our Kelso base: 20 minutes via the A68.
Every Earlston central heating upgrade includes a benchmarked commissioning record, magnetic filter and a written balancing sheet for each radiator.

Around Earlston we also cover:
Often yes — newer Earlston properties have insulation and outdoor space that suit heat pumps well. We model heat loss properly and tell you honestly if a high-efficiency boiler is the better short-term move.
Yes — Earlston is a 20-minute run from our Kelso base via the A68, so emergency call-outs in TD4 are usually attended the same day.
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.
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.
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.
