Whether it is a heat pump, a heating replacement or a breakdown: describe your house and your current heating in a few minutes. We pass your request on to up to three suitable heating engineers near you.
Services
Choose a service and the form above will start straight away with the right questions.
Design and installation of a heat pump, to replace your old heating or in a new build.
Your old heating is replaced with a new system, for example pellets, district heating or gas.
Retrofit underfloor heating or replace radiators, also as preparation for a heat pump.
Hydraulic balancing, a new pump and better controls, so all rooms heat up evenly.
Regular servicing and cleaning, so your heating runs reliably and economically.
Help when the heating fails, there is no hot water or the pressure keeps dropping.
Heating engineers design and install new systems: heat pumps, pellet and gas boilers, solar thermal or a connection to a heat network. This includes everything around the system, from the hot water cylinder, pipework and controls to removing the old heating and its tank.
Day to day support matters just as much: regular servicing, repairs after a breakdown and optimising existing systems, for example with hydraulic balancing, a new pump or larger radiators. Many businesses also take on bathroom and plumbing work.
For a first assessment the engineer needs the heated floor area, the year the building was built, your current heating and its consumption. You will find your annual consumption of gas, oil or pellets on your last bills, and it is especially helpful when planning a new system.
Note whether you have radiators or underfloor heating and what has already been insulated on the house. You can send the engineer photos of the boiler room, the rating plate of the unit and a typical radiator at first contact. For an air to water heat pump it also matters where the outdoor unit could go.
A good quote for new heating is based on a heat load calculation and not just on the output of the old boiler. Check whether removal and disposal of the old system, hydraulic balancing, electrical work, a base for the outdoor unit and commissioning are included.
In Germany, plumbing and heating installation is a regulated trade. Ask for references, about the guarantee on the work and who will carry out servicing later. Funding programmes exist for many measures, and the engineer will know the current conditions.
Questions and answers
In many cases, yes. What matters is how warm the heating water needs to be on cold days to keep the rooms warm. With underfloor heating or radiators that are large enough, this often works in older buildings too. The engineer uses a heat load calculation to check whether individual radiators should be replaced or whether insulation is worth doing first.
An air to water heat pump needs no borehole or major groundwork, mainly a suitable spot for the outdoor unit. Ground source systems usually work more efficiently in winter, but need a borehole or a larger garden area for collectors, and a borehole usually requires approval from the authorities. The engineer will advise you based on your land, house and consumption.
The heating is adjusted so that each radiator receives exactly the amount of water it needs. Rooms heat up more evenly, flow noises decrease and the system runs more economically. Balancing is usually part of a new heating installation, but it can also be done on an existing system.
