Why Rye Park customers pick us for heating upgrades
We've been doing heating upgrades in Hoddesdon long enough to know which streets have shared chimneys, which estates have undersized gas supplies, and which boilers tend to fail first.
That experience means we get the spec right at the survey, not halfway through the install.
And we don't cut corners on the bits you can't see — proper pipework, magnetic filter, full system flush where needed.

heating upgrades in Rye Park: questions we get a lot
Top cold, bottom hot — what's that?▾
Air in the radiator. Usually a 30-second bleed sorts it. If the same radiator keeps re-airing, you may have a slow leak or a corrosion gas problem.
Bottom cold, top hot — what's that?▾
Sludge build-up at the bottom of the radiator. Often fixable with a powerflush or a dose of system cleaner. Whole-system sludge usually means a powerflush is the right call.
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.
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.
