Installing Central Heating Systems, Pipework, Radiators and Heating Controls

Our team of gas engineers has been fully trained to the highest standards, using the latest methods.
Central Heating Renovations, Step by Step
1. We’re on hand to help you choose a boiler and select the radiators that will offer adequate heating for your home, along with new controls.
2. We help you to come up with a plan for the system you want to install. You will also need to decide on a good spot for your new boiler and where you want to position your radiators.
3. The radiators are usually installed first, at around four to six inches above floor level.
4. The pipes are then laid from the radiators and valves to the boiler, after which the controls are then installed.
5. The water (and, in some cases, the gas) is shut off while the boiler is installed.
6. All of the radiator vents will be closed, the system filled with water and each radiator allowed to vent through. Finally, the boiler can be switched on and the flow of heated water balanced using the valves.
Central Heating Renovations for Listed Buildings
When it comes to heating listed buildings you often hear tales of woe – draught, cold and malfunctioning heating systems are par for the course. The task of making historic buildings cosy, snug, warm and energy efficient is a huge challenge.
Many listed property owners accept this as a downside of owning an older property and put off heating renovations for this reason. However, in many cases old heating systems become unrepairable and replacing the heating system becomes a necessity.
At TDS Heating, we understand that the relationship between airflow, heat and moisture in older properties is essential when completing any renovation work, especially when selecting a replacement heating solution. It is vital that considerations for maintaining a comfortable indoor environment are balanced with preserving the structure of the building.
