Central heating services

If your central heating stops working it could be caused by something minor that can be rectified by resetting your boiler or increasing the water pressure. Some issues may be caused by power cuts or blown fuses. However, if you have tried all of the above any you’re still having issues, you’ll want to call a central heating engineer to carry out a heating repair.

Home Assist has a team of highly trained heating engineers who can carry out both gas and plumbing repairs to get your central heating system working again.

Plumbers are able to fix central heating fittings, including radiators and valves, but they cannot carry out work on boilers unless they are also able to work with gas. Luckily, Home Assist engineers are all trained in carrying out both plumbing and gas fitting, including boiler repairs. This means that whatever the problem with your central heating, we’ll be able to solve it.

The length of time that a central heating system should last without any need for repairs or replacements is usually around 15 years. This is the length of time that your boiler should last without becoming faulty. Many other aspects of your central heating system can last much longer, including radiators and pipes.

As with most things, good maintenance can extend the lifespan of your central heating system for much longer. Home Assist has a range of maintenance plans that include an annual service to keep your boilers, pipes and radiators in good working order.

Have you returned home to find that the house is freezing cold? There are many reasons why the central heating system may have stopped working. Most central heating issues are caused by something that’s straightforward to fix, such as a power cut, water supply pressure or a tripped fuse box. There are however more difficult issues that are harder to find without expertise. These include internal problems with the boiler and should always be repaired by a qualified Gas Safe engineer.
