Central Heating Installation Acocks Green, Start to Finish
Afterglow Plumbing & Heating Limited, a family run plumbing and heating firm based in Sheldon, Birmingham, covers central heating installation in Acocks Green and across Birmingham and Solihull. A combi suits smaller homes, a system boiler with an unvented cylinder suits larger ones, and older conventional systems can often be upgraded.
What does a full central heating installation in Acocks Green include?
A combi boiler needs no tanks and fits a smaller household well. Larger homes with more than one bathroom running together do better on a system boiler and unvented cylinder. Many older properties run a conventional system, which can be modernised.
Afterglow Plumbing & Heating Limited full installations include stripping out the old system, the new boiler and radiators, pipework, a chemical flush, inhibitor and a magnetic filter. Each one is tested, commissioned and certified under Building Regulations.
Is powerflushing a good option for central heating?
It is when the system is full of sludge: cold radiator bottoms, dark water from the bleed valve, or a noisy boiler. If the water is already clean, it adds nothing, so look for the signs before paying for one.
How do you know a pipe has gone somewhere you cannot see?
Shut the stop tap first, before anything else. Where the leak is on the heating side, switch the boiler off as well, and turn off nearby electrics where that is safe. After that, phone a plumber.
Hidden leaks give themselves away in other ways: a new damp patch, a mark on the ceiling, or running water you cannot account for. Burst copper, split plastic and hidden leaks under floors are all Afterglow Plumbing & Heating Limited jobs.
Why are only some of my radiators heating up?
Usually the system is out of balance, or sludge has settled in the radiators furthest from the boiler. Balancing sets each lockshield valve so water check here reaches every radiator evenly.
Does an unvented cylinder need servicing?
Mains pressure feeds an unvented cylinder directly, with no tank above, and showers are far stronger for it. Gravity fed systems depend on a loft tank and the drop below it.
Yearly servicing of an unvented cylinder covers the valves, the expansion vessel and the discharge. Afterglow Plumbing & Heating Limited fits, services and repairs both kinds of cylinder.
