Boiler Installations
Saddleworth Plumbing Services can install Boilers in most locations and we
always do our best to locate them as inconspicuously as possible. We have fitted
them in Kitchens, cupboards, ante chambers, dining rooms, spare rooms and
offices. We always fit them to the boiler manufacturers installation instructions
and make sure to leave the required space around them for servicing and
maintenance.
Boiler Locations
We are often asked to install boilers in a potential customers roof space,
loft or garage which to the customer seems like an easy way to hide the boiler
(out of sight-out of mind) but this can have serious consequences which an
untrained person may not be aware of. For instance, when a boiler is fitted in
an unheated location, such as a roof space, loft or garage, the boiler will very
often, in winter, switch itself on when the temperature in the loft drops to 4
degrees centigrade. This is to protect itself from freezing and then bursting
its contents. This also means that any energy saving features are rendered implausible
if the boiler is heating up every night in the winter. Customers who have had
boilers fitted in these locations by other installers often complain about how
big their fuel bills are but are oblivious to the actual cause.
Kitchen locations
When we fit boilers in kitchens we try to fit them so they blend in with the
cupboards if possible. Sometimes it is possible to fit them within the actual
kitchen cupboard itself which is an aesthetic way of hiding the white casing.
Radiator types
We always fit the modern type of radiator with top and side grill panels
which tend to blend in with their surroundings better. If customers want unusual
or designer radiators we always give advice on their suitability to the heating
system as some can cause problems if not suitable. We fit radiators to BS EN 442
standards which means they should have 150mm gap below them and at least 42mm
above them to let the air circulate behind them.
Heating system design
When Saddleworth Plumbing Services arrive at potential customers houses to
give a quotation we often hear the customer talk of system problems such as
banging and creaking noises, rusting and leaking radiators, cold rooms, large
gas bills and expensive maintenance and repair charges. We can usually put most
of the problems described down to bad system design so when we replace customers
boilers, radiators and equipment we don't believe in doing a rush job (quickest
pipe routes, fitting boilers where its easiest for us, shoddy workmanship etc)
we want your heating system to work quietly, efficiently and above all we want
you to be happy when we have finished. So in a nutshell, we first- make sure
that we identify what is wrong with the system, second-we specify quality
materials to replace them if needed and third- carry out the work with care so
that when we're done you will recommend us to all your friends and
relatives as our previous customers do now.
