Fully Computerised Service System

All boiler installations and servicing is recorded on our systems, this in turn produces all certificates, records the boiler history and alerts when the next boiler service is due. This ensures that all manufacturers warranties are maintained and can be proved easily. Landlords can. easily obtain safety certificates if required.

Boiler Replacement

When should you replace your boiler?

Our boilers work away and are taken for granted until they break down and then we realise how essential they are. Gas Safe recommend you replace your boiler every 12 to 14 years. Regular servicing will prolong the boilers life but there are parts a service will never reach. If your boiler was installed prior to 2007 it is highly likely it is non condensing and and of less than 70% efficient. All boilers in the UK are now condensing and have efficiency of 90%+ in conjunction with long guarantees.

We can offer advice and options when replacing your boiler including all the new control systems available.

How to repressurise your Vaillant Boiler

All systems lose pressure over time and that can be for many reasons, if you are re-pressurising your boiler frequently i.e. less than once every couple of months, then it will indicate that you may have a leak in the central heating circuit which if not visible needs to be found. At the same time, it could be a problem within the boiler and this needs to be checked out by an Engineer. Please view this helpful video  on how to re-pressurise a Vaillant boiler.

FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions

Vaillant are the largest boiler manufacturer in the world, they design their boilers in the most logical way allowing any one part to be removed on its own without the need to disturb other parts. We service boilers and we see the difference when 8 years or more and Vaillant always come out on top for reliability, and in the unlikely event of a breakdown the repair is normally carried out within 24 hours by the service team from Vaillant when under warranty and we aim to repair those outwit warranty in the same time or less.

Yes all boilers sold in the UK are of the condensing type which means they are normally in excess of 90% efficient.

Regular or Heat Only Boilers are just that they are the simplest type producing heat to be pumped independently to the radiators and hot water cylinder using a valve control system external to the boiler.

System Boiler is as above but has  a circulating pump inside and an expansion vessel which is for a pressurised system.

Combination Boilers is as a system boiler but also heats your hot water directly from the mains supply and are the most complicated of all 3 types. They are generally higher Kw outputs due to the heating of the water requires a great deal of heat to produce a strong hot water output.

A magnetic filter prevents magnetite (a rusty sludge from the radiators) returning to the boiler clogging it up and reducing the efficiency. Most manufacturers now insist on one being fitted during installation and reward with extended warranties.

Condensate is produced by condensing boilers, it occurs when the flue gases have the heat extracted in a secondary chamber to increase the efficiency and means the flue gases that are expelled to the atmosphere are only 40-60 degrees and can be seen as a plume on most houses with new boilers. The condensate produced is acidic and needs to go to a drain by plastic pipe. If you have a septic tank then an inline filter requires to be fitted to neutralise this acidity.

Gordon was so flexible, fitting in to my timescale and so patient with my questions and worries. He did the work while I was away and kept me informed of progress. So professional and helpful as I chose type, model etc. Came home to warm house and no mess and he was there next morning to show me how everything worked. I can’t thank him enough and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending G R Heating to my friends.

Our boilermate water tank started to leak water through kitchen ceiling. We called Gordon from GR HEATING and he came round within 1hr confirmed the boilermate was leaking and needed replaced .He gave us a fantastic quote the best we had. The job was completed to a very high standard at the agreed price no hiding extras. And explained everything to us about new system and was happy to spend time answering any questions we had. Would definitely recommend GR heating highly professional.

Excellent job. Removed old boilermate and boiler, integrated the new system. Commissioned and demonstrated controls. A very professional , reliable company and the installation was done to a very high standard. I would certainly recommend Gordon to my friends and neighbours.

Coatbridge, September 2020

Gordon and Gary installed our oil fired boiler 4 years ago and every year since have serviced it. They are a first rate company. Debby sends an email every year letting us know when service is due. I cannot recommend this company highly enough. The work is first class.
