The Many Ways to Heat a Property
Choosing the right central heating installations requires an understanding of different system types. Our central heating technicians can advise on the best option for your property based on efficiency, cost, general average use and any unique requirements you might have. We can install the following in properties around Botley and Oxford, and as part of our nationwide shopfitting services for prominent retailers including Domino’s, Pizza Hut and Itsu:
Wet Central Heating Systems
This is the most common form of central heating in the UK, using water circulated through radiators or underfloor heating systems. Wet systems typically include:
- Combi Boilers – Provide instant hot water and heating without the need for a storage cylinder, making them highly efficient for smaller properties.
- System Boilers – Require a hot water cylinder but do not need a separate tank, making them suitable for homes with higher water demand.
- Regular (Heat-only) Boilers – Require both a hot water cylinder and a cold water tank, often preferred for properties with traditional open-vented systems.
Warm Air Heating Systems
Warm air systems use a furnace to heat air prior to distributing it through ductwork. These systems heat up quickly and do not require radiators, making them a practical option for some commercial or larger domestic properties around Botley and Oxford. However, modern central heating installations using this technology are less common due to steady advances in wet systems.
District Heating Systems
Ideal for apartment blocks and commercial developments, district heating uses a centralised heat source to provide heating and hot water to multiple properties via a network of insulated pipes. These systems are highly efficient and can integrate with renewable energy sources such as biomass or CHP (combined heat and power) units.
Alternative Approaches to Heating
In addition to gas-powered central heating installations, we offer a variety of alternative fuel options to suit different property types and environmental considerations:
- Oil-fired Heating – Suitable for properties without access to mains gas. Requires an external oil storage tank but offers high efficiency.
- LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) – A good alternative to natural gas, requiring a storage tank but providing clean and efficient heating.
- Biomass Boilers – Use wood pellets or logs, offering a sustainable and carbon-neutral heating solution.
- Electric Heating – Includes storage heaters and electric boilers, often used where gas is unavailable.
- Renewable Systems – Incorporate heat pumps (air or ground source) or solar thermal panels, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering carbon footprints.
Our skilled heating engineers have the necessary expertise to install, maintain and repair all of these systems for local homeowners and businesses within 20-miles of Botley and Oxford, as well as for retailers nationwide as part of our shopfitting services.
