Question 1

How much does a new central heating system cost in Glasgow?

Accepted Answer

A new central heating system in Glasgow typically costs between £2,500 and £5,500 for a standard 3-bed property, including the boiler, radiators, pipework, and controls. The exact price depends on property size, number of radiators, and whether you're upgrading an existing system or starting from scratch. We provide a fixed written quote before any work starts.

Question 2

What is a power flush and does my heating system need one?

Accepted Answer

A power flush is a deep clean of your central heating system using a specialist machine that forces water and cleaning chemicals through the pipes and radiators at high velocity. Signs you need one include: radiators cold at the bottom but warm at the top, some radiators not heating at all, dark sludgy water when you bleed radiators, or a noisy boiler. A power flush in Glasgow typically takes 4-6 hours and costs between £300 and £450 depending on system size.

Question 3

Can you add radiators to an existing heating system?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can add radiators to most existing central heating systems, including extending pipework to new rooms, loft conversions, and extensions. We'll check your existing boiler has enough capacity first — if it doesn't, we'll advise on the best upgrade option. Adding a single radiator to an existing system typically costs between £200 and £400 including labour and materials.

Question 4

Are smart thermostats worth fitting in Glasgow?

Accepted Answer

Yes — particularly in Glasgow's climate where heating runs for 7-9 months of the year. Smart thermostats like Nest, Hive, and Drayton Wiser let you control heating remotely, set schedules, and detect when the house is empty. Most Glasgow households save 10-20% on heating bills, meaning a smart thermostat often pays for itself within 12 months. We install and configure all major brands.

Question 5

How long does a full central heating installation take?

Accepted Answer

A full central heating installation in a standard 3-bed Glasgow property takes 3-5 days. This includes fitting the boiler, running pipework, hanging radiators, and commissioning the system. We keep disruption to a minimum and always leave each room tidy at the end of each day.
