Things Stanstead Abbotts customers usually ask about heating upgrades
Is it dangerous to keep topping up?▾
Not immediately — but the cause needs finding. Repeated top-ups mean fresh oxygenated water keeps entering the system, which corrodes radiators and pumps from the inside.
Where do hidden leaks usually hide?▾
Pressure relief valve discharging outside, perished pump seals, pinhole leaks at radiator valves, or a failing expansion vessel. Each one has a different fix.
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.
How much does a power flush cost?▾
Typically £450–£750 depending on system size and number of radiators. We give a fixed price after a quick survey.
