Central heating is one of the most energy efficient forms of heating and with the cost of energy rising, many people are installing central heating or upgrading their existing systems.
If you are having a new system installed you could be paying up to £5,000 for a full system, and with such an outlay it is important not only to choose the right system initially, but also to keep it well maintained.
Central heating costs range from the initial installation cost, to the running costs and ongoing maintenance. If you are installing a new system, it is likely to be one of the largest purchases you make for your home, so it’s important to weigh up all the costs and make sure you are getting the best possible system for your money.
If you are upgrading your existing central heating with a new boiler, it’s worth the extra expense for an ‘A’ rated boiler; it will pay for itself over time.
