Balancing a Heating system

Balancing a heating system & optimum efficiency

Oakleigh Heating provides annual servicing to balance your heating system and achieve optimum efficiency.

When a heating system isn’t balanced some rooms do not get enough heat, affecting comfort.

A traditional solution to this is to turn the pump speed up, but whilst this may solve the problem of radiators not heating it results in;

Additional system noise
Increased pump energy costs
Overloading of controls such as TRVs
Higher return temperatures, preventing boilers from operating efficiently.

DID YOU KNOW?

Research shows a single unbalanced radiator can add 3.5% to the cost of your bill. An average house which hasn’t been commissioned and balanced correctly can increase bills by between 9-27%. On average the UK heating and hot water gas bill is £609, this means an efficient system balancing could save around £120 a year.

In a correctly balanced system, heat reached all radiators but noise and energy costs are kept to a minimum.

Energy Saving

The Energy Saving Trust estimates that a central heating boiler is responsible for 60% of your household energy bills, so having a more efficient boiler can make a sizeable difference to your bills.

Most new condensing boilers are A rated which means their efficiency is 90% or more. The efficiency of your boiler will depend on a number of factors but typically an old non-condensing boiler would be G rated which means it is less than 70% efficient and could well be only 55% – 70% efficient.

Depending on your gas bill, moving to a more efficient condensing boiler could save £200-£300 per year.

As always, Kyle at Oakleigh Heating provides an excellent service. On this occasion he discovered the fault with our heating system, obtained the replacement part, fitted the part and checked to ensure that all was working correctly. The service provided by Kyle is always first class and we recommend Oakleigh Heating as a fully reliable, friendly and helpful supplier.

Kyle did a great job, replacing boiler, fitting two new radiators, putting a new gas supply and leaving us with a tidy, warm house. All done in a day. He then came back to check that all was going fine.

Extremely happy with the excellent work carried out by Kyle and the Oakleigh heating team. We had our boiler replaced and radiator fitted, and the work carried out was to the highest standard. The new boiler looks amazing and is working perfectly. It wasn't a straight forward job, but Kyle completed the work without an issue and I am really happy with the result would not hesitate to recommend.

Great communication, punctual and well priced. A nice clean job with radiators looking great. Follow up phone call a week later to check all was working okay was a pleasant surprise. Would happily use again.

Kyle has completed various pieces of work for me, from installing a brand new central heating boiler to tightening a leaking radiator valve. I have always found the charges to be reasonable, and Kyle has on occasion replaced a faulty part without passing on the cost to me or charging for his time. Kyle responds promptly when I contact him, and manages to fit in his visits around my busy work schedule. I would recommend Kyle and Oakleigh Heating to anyone wanting a reliable trader who puts their customers first.
