About Old Harlow
The historic centre of Harlow with period properties pre-dating the new town. Conservation considerations affect external flue placement.
Predominantly 1950s–70s post-war housing with a mix of terraces, semis, and 60s-built flats. Pockets of older stock around Old Harlow.
- Original 1960s flats often have undersized gas supply pipes that limit modern combi performance
- Older Old Harlow properties frequently have low mains water pressure that affects combi choice
- Many 60s/70s back boilers still in service — our regular work involves removing these and reinstating fireplaces

Common questions about boiler servicing in Old Harlow
Are Alpha boilers reliable?▾
Better than their reputation. The E-Tec Plus range carries a 10-year warranty and we've had few warranty calls on the units we've fitted.
How long does a service take?▾
Usually 45–60 minutes for a domestic boiler in normal condition.
How often should a boiler be serviced?▾
Once a year. It's almost always required to keep the manufacturer's warranty valid, and it catches small issues before they become breakdowns.
