Melrose has one of the most varied housing stocks in the Borders — Victorian villas around Dingleton and the High Street, smaller estates off Weirhill and traditional cottages up toward Eildon. Combine that with a high proportion of second homes and holiday lets and you get a town where reliable heating, sensible servicing intervals and quiet, efficient kit really matter.
Full central heating systems across Melrose — 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 Melrose 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. TD6 homes with long pipe runs particularly benefit from rezoning and a proper power-flush at change-over.
Travel from our Kelso base: 25 minutes via the A6091.
Every Melrose central heating upgrade includes a benchmarked commissioning record, magnetic filter and a written balancing sheet for each radiator.
Step 1
Room-by-room calculation, current radiator audit and pipework condition check.
Step 2
Itemised proposal — emitter sizes, pipework runs, zoning, controls and timeline.
Step 3
Pipework, emitters, controls and boiler tie-in. Power-flush at change-over.
Step 4
Each radiator balanced individually, controls demo'd, benchmarked record left on site.
Around Melrose we also cover:
Often, yes — but the radiators usually need upsizing, and we'll model heat loss properly for the older stone walls. We'll be honest if a high-efficiency boiler is a better short-term fit.
Yes — we deliberately keep autumn slots free for holiday-let owners across TD6. Booking in September or early October avoids a January breakdown when the property is fully booked.
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.
