What we specialise in

* Older or more complicated heating systems

* Larger homes and multi‑zone setups

* Hot water cylinder upgrades

* Smart thermostat and control integration

* Heat‑pump‑ready improvements

* Fixing comfort and efficiency issues

* Ongoing care and continuity

A good engineer doesn’t just “fit a boiler”. They build a system that’s reliable, efficient and set up to last. That means proper pipework, system filters, flushing, and making choices that protect your boiler for the long run.

Think of it like a car: passing an MOT is fine, but if you never service it, problems will catch up with you.

Online Boiler Installers vs Local Heating Engineers

Companies like BOXT, Heatable and WarmZilla have grown fast. Their model is built around convenience — and for simple jobs, it works.

Why Online Installers Appeal:

* Quick online quotes

* Attractive fixed prices

* No home survey

* Huge networks of installers — the “Amazons” of the heating world

Where Online Installers Fall Short

Because many of their installers are paid per job, not per quality, neither they nor an online form will pick up on things like:

* Undersized pipework

* Poor system balancing

* Old S‑plan/Y‑plan wiring

* Bad thermostat placement

* Radiators that never heat properly

* Missed opportunities for zoning or weather compensation

These are the details that affect comfort, running costs and long‑term reliability — and they’re exactly the things a local engineer spots straight away.
