In need of a lewes central heating engineer? I am your local Gas Safe plumber working in this area. I offer a full central heating service to include boilers, radiators, hot water cylinders and all the other elements of central heating.
Central heating plays a crucial role in any home, but many homeowners overlook it when it comes to maintenance. Most households use a boiler and steel radiators for warmth, but these systems experience wear and tear over time. Without regular care, corrosion can build up inside the radiators, which can cause leaks, reduce heating performance, and, in severe cases, lead to total system failure.
Many people don’t realize they should have a professional check their heating system every five years. Regular maintenance allows you to catch small issues early, before they turn into costly repairs. Ignoring your heating system can lower its efficiency, raise your energy bills, and damage essential components like the boiler, pumps, and valves.
Rust poses the biggest threat to any central heating system. Since water contains oxygen, it reacts with the metal in pipes and radiators, causing rust to form. If you’ve ever watched a nail rust in water, you’ve seen exactly what happens inside your radiators. To slow this process, heating professionals add a special chemical inhibitor to the system. However, every time you refill the boiler, fresh water enters and weakens the inhibitor, giving rust a chance to develop. Over time, this leads to sludge build-up that clogs pipes and radiators, which reduces heating efficiency.
If sludge has already built up in your system, you may need a power flush. This professional cleaning process clears out rust and debris to restore performance. However, it can be expensive, so it’s always better to prevent the problem in the first place.
If your radiators feel cold at the bottom, your boiler keeps losing pressure, or you’re thinking about upgrading your heating system, I can help. Whether you need new radiators or want to install thermostatic radiator valves, I’ll make sure your heating runs as efficiently as possible.
I’ve installed and repaired central heating systems for years, both in homes and in surrounding areas in and around the Lewes area.
I offer a full range of plumbing services such as gas boiler breakdowns, servicing and replacement, along with landlord gas safety checks, landlord certificates (CP12) and a host of other gas and general plumbing services including installing central heating and hot water cylinders.
