Frequently asked questions — heating upgrades, Great Easton

How often should I need to top up?

A healthy sealed system should hold pressure for 6-12 months between top-ups. Anything more frequent points to a leak.

Could it be the expansion vessel?

Yes — a perished expansion vessel inside the boiler is a common cause. We test the vessel as part of diagnosis.

Will a smart thermostat actually save money?

Yes — typically 8–12% off heating bills if you use the scheduling and zone features properly. Hive and Nest both pay back inside two years for most households.

Do I really need a power flush?

If radiators have cold patches, your boiler is noisy, or you're fitting a new boiler to an older system, yes. Otherwise a chemical flush and magnetic filter is often enough.
