Modern gas central heating systems are safe, controllable and efficient to run but can cause confusion as they have a number of controls that you may not fully understand.

• Improve the comfort of your home
• Reduce the energy used and your fuel bills
• Avoid the risk of condensation dampness
• To get the best out of your system, you should follow the manufacturers instructions. If you have mislaid the instruction booklet for your systems, most manufacturers can provide a replacement.

• Boiler (which can be a condensing, condensing combi, conventional or conventional combi model)
• Hot water tank for systems without a combi boiler
• Room thermostat
• Radiators
• Thermostatic radiator controls
• Programmer
• The Boiler

If your boiler is a ‘combi’ boiler then the water is heated instantaneously when the hot water taps are switched on.

The thermostat on the boiler controls the temperature of the water circulating around the system. Please refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the optimum setting of the thermostat.

Most hot water cylinders have a thermostat; this is recommended to be set at 55.C. To retain as much heat as possible the cylinder should have 80mm of insulation.

Radiators are most commonly used in “wet” (uses water) central heating systems. The water is heated by the boiler and travels through the radiators, giving out heat.

ThermostatThis is usually found in the living room or hallway and is recommended to be set at 21°C. The room thermostat will respond to the temperature in the room where it is situated. When the room is warm enough it sends a signal to the central heating pump to stop heating the radiators until the temperature drops below the set level. At this point they will come back on again.

Heating timerSo that the house is warm when you wake up, set the heating to come on approximately 30 minutes before you get up and then in the evening set the heating to turn off about 1 hour before you go to bed. This will allow the house to warm up in the morning and cool down slightly at night.

There is a variety of programmers for operating central heating (CH) and hot water (HW). The majority have the following controls:-

• ON/CONSTANT -HW/CH is on 24 hours each day.
• OFF – the HW/CH is completely off.
• ONCE – the HW/CH comes on at the first “ON” time selected and turns off at the second “OFF” time selected.
• TWICE/AUTO – the HW/CH comes on for the 2 selected time periods.
• HOT WATER ONLY – the heating system will not operate

Not only does evohome allow you to control your heating more easily, it can also save you money due to it’s high efficiency levels. Upgrading your basic timer and thermostat control to evohome smart zoning could deliver as much as 40% savings on heating your home!

• Control your heating from anywhere using mobile devices
• Manage multiple thermostats and locations
• View and change temperature settings and heating schedule
• Activate quick actions and system modes
  See the current outdoor temperature and 5-day forecast
• Get connection alerts
• Automatic software updates

As well as managing heating, you can take control of your home security too – from anywhere. If you have both evohome heating products and evohome security products you have the option of syncing both. This is particularly helpful when leaving the home as simply arming your system will turn of the heating. Helping you save on your energy bills.

• Powerflushing is a cleansing process designed to rid the central heating system of sludge, rust and corrosive inefficiencies that accumulate over time in most heating systems. In addition to increasing the efficiency of the heating system, the powerflush also serves to protect the main heating plant. Powerflushing should only be administered by a knowledgeable and experienced central heating expert.
• Powerflushing is a proven solution for uneven heat distribution and for remedying the inefficiencies of the central heating system. Many homeowners are unaware that the heat circulation in their home is clogged. Powerflushing is the best way to ensure that the system is circulating properly and not adding pressure to the heating unit.
• Powerflushing is also recommended when new systems are being installed. A new boiler replacing an older boiler is only as effective and efficient as the circulation of the existing piping. Powerflushing is a safe, relatively inexpensive process that will add warmth to the home and reduce energy expenditures at the same time.

Cold radiators – Are some radiators warm while others are cold? The reason for this is rust and sludge that has accumulated in pipes and is preventing heat from circulating to all radiators in the home.

Excessive Noise – Can you hear you boiler overworking? Do you hear air trying to fight through the sludge and rust in pipes? If your central heating system is making unusual noises, the chances are a powerflush is in order.

Discoloured Water – When you bleed your radiators and pipes are you finding the water is discoloured? That is a clear warning sign that the system is in jeopardy and in need of powerflushing. In extreme cases, you might notice that tap water is cloudy.

Powerflushing is safe if administered by an experienced heating engineer likle Home Cure. The heating engineer will connect a high flow, low pressure pumping unit to the system. The most likely connection point is the circulation pump or the pump head, depending upon the system.

The engineer will add high strength cleaning chemical to the system. These include ingredients to break down sludge crust that inevitably builds on the pipes. A chemical to remove the sludge is also used along with a descaler to break down the limescale. After the initial flush, crust and rust inhibitors are added to the system.

The crust breakers and removers are acid-based cleansers. These will also rid the system of any sand that may have accumulated in the system. When the powerflush is complete, the acid will be washed thoroughly from the system.

Professional powerflushing takes can take a few hours. Most homeowners notice the difference immediately. Please feel free to get an estimate beforehand to find out about time frames and costs.

In the UK today, many residents are concerned about the cost and amount of energy used to heat their homes and businesses. Powerflushing is a great way to reduce energy expenditure, your carbon footprint and most importantly to improve the heat circulation in your home. By removing the sludge and corrosive elements from your central heating system, you are also prolonging the life of your heating plant. Replacing a boiler is one expense nobody wants to incur.

By law, under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, it’s your responsibility to get a Gas Safety Certificate every twelve months. You must get this from a Gas Safe Registered engineer for all pipe work, gas appliances and flues installed at your property.

If you use an agent to manage your property, you need to make sure your contract clearly states in black and white whose responsibility it is to carry out maintenance on gas appliances. You must also keep copies of all the paperwork. You’ll need to keep a record of the safety inspection for two years, and give a copy to all of your tenants within 28 days of the inspection. If your tenants change, they’ll need a copy of the Gas Safety Certificate before they move in. If your contract says the agent is responsible, then the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 are passed on to them.

Top tips

• Legally you only have to carry out a gas safety inspection every twelve months, but it’s a good idea to get appliances checked between tenants too. Then you’ll be sure your appliances are in tip-top condition before your new tenants move in.
• Installing a Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm comes highly recommended – not just by us, but by HSE too. It’s the best way to make sure your tenants are safe from dangers of Carbon Monoxide poisoning. But an alarm should never replace regular maintenance and safety checks.

• Your gas appliances will be checked for gas tightness.
• If test points are available, standing and working pressure will be tested.
• Your Gas Safe engineer will check burner pressure and gas rate against the manufacturers data plate.
• Checks will be carried out for the provision of all necessary ventilation.
• Flue flow will be tested to make sure products of combustion are removed.
• All flame failure devices will be checked for satisfactory operation.
• Where appropriate checks will be made for physical stability, presence and effectiveness of stability brackets.
• Investigations for any evidence of unsafe operation will be made and reported.
• Without completing all of the above checks an appliance can not be issued a Gas Safety Certificate.
