Keep the Heat in and the Bills Down

The last thing anyone wants is a boiler breakdown in the middle of a cold snap. That’s why winter is one of the busiest times of year when it comes to us tackling boiler repairs around Portishead—but with a bit of forward planning, it doesn’t have to be a problem.

Book a visit with one of our Gas Safe registered heating engineers, and we’ll check your system’s performance, identify any early signs of wear, and advise you on whether or not it’s time to upgrade; after all, boiler installations can save you significant money and energy in the long run.

If you’re thinking ahead even further, air source heat pumps are becoming a popular choice across Portishead—especially for new builds and full heating system upgrades. They’re quiet, efficient and make a big difference in reducing your carbon footprint.

Our top winter heating tips:

  • Book your annual boiler service early
  • Don’t ignore small issues like strange noises or low pressure
  • Consider new boiler installations if your unit is over 10 years old
  • Ask about upgrading to air source heat pumps for long-term efficiency
  • Use programmable thermostats and radiator valves to fine-tune heat

And remember, our team offers fast, no-fuss boiler repairs and boiler installations in and around Portishead, so you’re never left out in the cold.
