Top Central Heating related questions

The cost of central heating services in the UK depends on the type of work and system, property size, urgency, and region you're in. Minor boiler repairs may be around £100 to £300 while installing a system or regular boiler ranges from £2,000 to £4,000.

If you'd like a solar thermal system, prices vary from £3,000 to £7,000. Make sure to discuss all the details with your Tasker so you can get an accurate quote before they start working.

Many central heating engineers are available for same-day or next-day services. Don't forget to specify how urgent your job is when you post it, and professionals will indicate their availability.

The time required depends on the complexity of the installation and the type of system being installed. A simple boiler replacement might take a day, while a complete central heating system installation, including radiators and pipework, could take several days. Ask your engineer for a timeline before the job.

Common signs that repairs are needed include strange noises, uneven heating, and frequent breakdowns. A heating technician can examine your system to know whether a repair will suffice or if replacing your boiler or heating system is more cost-effective.

Experienced electricians and engineers usually advise an upgrade or switch to energy-efficient systems. It's best to request a professional evaluation of your current system and ask for recommendations.

Yes! Central heating engineers may suggest solar panel heating systems, hybrid systems, heat pumps, or infrared heating. These alternatives help reduce your carbon footprint and may even lower energy bills in the long run.

What can you expect from central heating services?

When you book central heating services through Airtasker, you gain access to Taskers who can tailor their work to suit your home- be it a system due for a routine check-up, an overhaul, or a complete installation. Here's a breakdown of what central heating engineers near you can offer:

Boiler Systems

Boilers come in varieties and are at the heart of most UK heating systems. Combi boilers are compact and provide central heating and hot water without a separate tank. Meanwhile, regular boilers and system boilers work well for homes with high demand for hot water. If you have an old back boiler behind a fireplace, your Tasker can upgrade or replace it to save costs.

Gas Heating

When needing certified gas engineers, Airtasker can help you find experts to set up or fix gas heating systems. They can also conduct routine safety checks to ensure your gas heating system is at its best.

Electric Heating

Electric heaters require less maintenance and have no emissions compared to gas heating. These include electric radiators, underfloor heating, and panel heaters. A Tasker can install or repair such so you can enjoy higher efficiency with less energy waste.

Renewable Energy Systems

If you're looking for eco-friendly alternatives to central heating, try renewable energy heating solutions. Professional central heating engineers can work with solar panels that convert sunlight into energy to heat your home. Meanwhile, hybrid heating systems combine traditional and renewable energy sources for maximum efficiency.

Infrared Heating Systems

Infrared heating panels are an innovative way to make your home extra cosy. They radiate warmth directly to people and objects rather than heating the air. This technology prevents dust and allergens from circulating, improving air quality and reducing moisture. Infrared panels also come in different styles to match the aesthetics of your space.

Heat Pumps

Another economical and low-energy heating solution is heat pumps. Through Airtasker, you can easily find a central heating engineer near you who is experienced with air-source and ground-source heat pumps, which transfer heat from the outside air or ground into your home. Consider hiring a plumber during an installation to check for possible upgrades to your home's plumbing system.

Air Furnace Systems

If you have a larger home and want to supply warm air through ductwork, your Tasker may recommend an air furnace system. They're either gas or electric, reliable, and common in UK homes.

Underfloor Heating

Underfloor heating is a luxury that offers even heat distribution throughout your home. Whether installing a new system or maintaining an existing one, central heating engineers can provide electric and water-based underfloor heating services.

Heating inspection

Kensal Rise, Greater London, NW6

24th Oct 2025

I have a couple of heating related issues that need attending to. 1. While all rooms in our flat stay nice and warm, for some reason the bedroom doesn’t, our radiator is under a year old and the valiant boiler system is brand new too but the radiator doesn’t get as hot at the other rooms and leaves us freezing at night. 2. We have underfloor heating in our bathroom but have never managed to figure out how to turn it on, need someone that knows what they’re looking at to have a look at it and see if it can be switched on or if it’s a broken system.

The Wells, Surrey, KT18

19th Aug 2025

An emergency plumber visited last week and gave this report. Please give me a quotation to carry out thsse works :) Called out to investigate issue with system not operating correctly. - Upon further investigation, found that the heating expansion vessel had failed, causing the system to discharge when topped up. - The failure is due to debris build-up within the heating system, corroding the inside workings of the expansion vessel. - Also found that the combination valve to the unvented cylinder has failed and is discharging through the tundish. - A new expansion vessel, new combination valve, and a powerflush will need to be carried out to get the system operational once again.

Spitalfields, Greater London

Last night the boiler started coming on without any demand for central heating - some of the radiators in the flat were very warm. This has continued throughout the day (we have a Tado system so I can see there's no call for central heating) - the only way we've been able to stop this is by turning off the boiler entirely to prevent the flat overheating

Laser Plumbing Heating Malfunction of Devireg 550 Thermostats

£100

Canary Wharf, Greater London

20th Jan 2025

I am looking for a qualified technician to solve an issue with two Devireg 550 thermostats connected to the boiler via electrical system. *Problem details* - Underfloor heating not working: The underfloor heating system does not activate, although hot water is available and functioning properly. *Thermostat status* - There are two active thermostats: one located near the entrance door and the other in the living room. Both displays are operational and show an icon indicating that the room temperature does not match the target temperature set on the thermostats. Another third thermostat is not active. Additionally, there are two wall switches labeled BOOST and TIMED, which appear to be connected to the boiler or heating system via the electrical circuit. Both switches are functional but do not seem to resolve the issue when toggled. Request: Diagnose the issue with the thermostats, wall switches, and the underfloor heating system to identify the root cause. Perform any necessary repairs. Conduct a final test to ensure the system operates correctly and heats the rooms as expected. *Important note* - Attached some photos that show the current state of the thermostats and the system to help you better understand the problem before scheduling an inspection *Additional information requested* - an estimate of the time required for diagnostics and repair
