How much does fixing central heating cost?
The cost of fixing central heating in the UK depends on the issue, but minor repairs such as replacing a radiator valve or bleeding the system typically cost £80 to £150. More complex repairs, like fixing a faulty pump, motorised valve, or system flush, can range from £150 to £500. If major components like the boiler need replacing, costs can rise to £1,000 to £3,000 or more.
Who should I call when my central heating is not working?
You should turn to a qualified heating engineer, as he is well-trained to handle all sorts of repairs.
What causes central heating to stop working?
Common causes include thermostat issues, boiler faults, airlocks, or circulation problems.
Can a plumber fix central heating?
A plumber can work only on non-gas operating parts of your heating system, like radiators, pipework, etc. If the problem is with your gas boiler or the gas pipes, you need a Gas Safe certified engineer to handle the central heating repair.
How long does it take to fix a heating unit?
It depends heavily on what went wrong. The majority of simple problems, such as a faulty pump or thermostat, can usually be resolved in a few hours. It could take a full day or perhaps longer if the job is more difficult, such as replacing a faulty heat exchanger or boiler. The engineers should be able to provide you with an accurate image of the timeline after they've had a chance to look it over.
How long should central heating last?
A well-maintained central heating system, including the boiler, should last between 10 and 15 years. Quality of the system, type of water in the area (hard water can cause issues), and frequency of maintenance and servicing can influence its lifespan.
Can you check my CO2 alarm for extra security?
Yes, we can install or check your existing CO2 alarm. Just let us know during the booking process so we can arrange it for you.
