|
How much are the running costs for central heating?
|
Operating costs are impossible to quantify because everyone's heating needs are different. However, we can tell you that on average, gas is more than three times cheaper than electricity.
It's also impossible to compare the cost of running EverWarm Central Heating with a heat pump or a wood fire because these are not designed to heat the whole home. |
|
How efficient is central heating?
|
EverWarm central heating is far more efficient than any other heating system due to the combination of water, which is four times more efficient to heat than air, and a large thermal mass (either radiators or a concrete floor). This quickly, gently, and evenly heats the area.
Our systems are fully controllable and programmable. We size and position radiators, boilers and pipes to make sure your system runs effectively and economically. We install high-efficiency Bosch boilers that use Condensing Technology to recover waste heat which is usually expelled through the flue, making the boiler more than 90% energy efficient. |

Why should I get EverWarm Central Heating? What’s wrong with other home heating options?
|
Heat pumps are expensive to buy, install and use. They’re noisy, and notoriously inefficient, especially when the temperature drops, which is when you need them most. They’re bulky, obtrusive and, amazingly, are frequently located high on a wall. Hot air rises. So they mainly heat the ceiling. And they only heat one area of the house.
Woodburners might be fun to gaze at, but they can be a pain to light, and slow to provide a decent, controllable level of warmth. They’re dirty, you need to pay for a constant source of fuel, they’re environmentally unfriendly and – you guessed it – they only heat one area of the house. These days anything that runs on electricity can cost you a fortune in power bills, and that’s especially true of heating. We estimate that heating an entire house, or even the main living areas and bedrooms, will cost between three and four times as much as gas-fired EverWarm Central Heating. |
|
Can EverWarm Central Heating also provide hot water?
Our systems can be designed with a range of added extras such as domestic hot water, towel rails and spa pools. |
|
I already have various forms of heating in my house. Will an EverWarm Central Heating system make these redundant?
|
Not necessarily. We can tailor-make a system to take your existing installations into account.
|

|
Between 2-5 days. We book your installation for a time that works for you, and can work around your routines to minimise disruption.
|
|
Do radiators use a lot of water?
Not at all. Today’s radiators need a low water content. This ensures a fast heat-up and a high output, ensuring the efficient generation of comfortable warmth. Once the radiator has been heated the water returns to the boiler and is then recirculated in an efficient continuous process.
|
How safe are radiators?
Modern radiators are made from high quality rolled steel plate and thoroughly pressure tested during the manufacturing process. There are no naked flames and they won’t burn you if you touch them.
