Common questions
Central Heating in Canterbury FAQs
Can you install central heating in a Canterbury property that does not currently have it?
Yes, our approved engineers carry out full central heating installations in Canterbury properties that currently rely on electric heating, storage heaters, or no fixed system. This includes selecting and installing a gas boiler, laying all the pipework, fitting radiators in every required room, and commissioning the system fully. Our approved engineers are Gas Safe registered and cover all of Canterbury.
How long does a central heating installation take in Canterbury?
A full central heating installation in a typical Canterbury home takes between three and seven days, depending on the size of the property, the number of radiators required, and whether any structural work is involved in running the pipework. We will give you a clear programme of work before work starts.
Do I need planning permission to have central heating installed in Canterbury?
In most cases, installing central heating in a Canterbury home does not require planning permission, as it is considered permitted development. However, if you live in a listed building or a property in a conservation area, there may be restrictions on certain types of installation or flue positions. We can advise on any constraints that apply to your specific property.
What size boiler do I need for my Canterbury home?
The right boiler size depends on the number of radiators, the hot water demand, and the size of the property. A boiler that is too small will struggle to heat the house efficiently; one that is too large will short-cycle and wear out faster. Our approved engineers will calculate the correct output for your Canterbury property and recommend accordingly, rather than fitting a standard size without assessment.
Can you add underfloor heating as part of a central heating installation in Canterbury?
Yes, underfloor heating can be incorporated into a new central heating installation in Canterbury, particularly in ground floor rooms where a new floor build-up is planned. A wet underfloor heating system runs from the same boiler as the radiators, using lower water temperatures for better efficiency. We can design the system to include both radiators and underfloor zones if that suits your property.
