How expensive to install central heating in an Amish-built house that has none?

Jeff — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 09:26:18 +0000

I have my eye on a nice 6 bedroom house in Pennsylvania that was built in 2002 by Amish and has no central heating. Any HVAC cognescenti have an opinion on the cost (and wisdom) of retrofitting it with central heating? One of the central issues is that banks don’t like to give mortgages (apparently) on houses that have no central heating.

Central Heating – how would you go about installing it in your home?

Jeff — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 06:17:10 +0000

Hi. I am just about to make an offer on a house – but it does not have central heating! If my offer is accepted, I’m sure to install some sort of heating to it – radiators & underfloor heating for the bathroom. The house hasn’t been touched for many many years it seems, and I have a chance of really doing things anew, installing efficient up-to-date systems.
.
But I am completely baffled as to how go about this. Should I choose oil/ gas/ electricity… for example? How much does everything cost to do up?? (it’s a semi-detatched 3 bed house by the way, if this info helps) And who / which establishment should I ask to do it for me??? I hear british gas is expensive…
.
Any suggestions, comments appreciated. Thanks.

What is the best way to heat a house with no central heating?

Jeff — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 02:40:26 +0000

We rent a house with no central heating and we cannot add any form of permanent heating (i.e. night storage etc). With this in mind what is the best and most cost efficient way to heat it through the winter? We currently use Dimplex freestanding heaters and an oil fired radiator – but it is very expensive.

Going Through Central Heating Installation? Choose Electric

Jeff — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 06:00:53 +0000

When it comes to water heaters, there is often strong disagreement as to which one is better: the gas hot water heater or the electric hot water heater. There are things that make the two systems similar and different, there are pros and cons to both. You get the same result, hot water, with both so your central heating installation will depend on personal preference for each homeowner. With an electric hot water heater, however, many people are concerned about the electric bill and how much it is costing to operate an electric hot water heater, and so they choose to use a gas water heater instead.

The Costs Of The Electric Hot Water Heater
Many people think that electric water heaters are very expensive, and there are commercials seen all of the time that indicate that gas water heaters are a better choice because they cost less and they keep working when the power goes out, among other things. It is true that electric water heaters will turn off when the power goes out where a gas one would not, but there are more things to think about when choosing central heating installation. There are other concerns that have to be addressed as well and these concerns range from whether natural gas or propane is available in the area to whether individuals are concerned about whether natural gas or propane is safe or whether there is a danger of explosion or other problems.

Benefits of Electric
Benefits that are seen with the electric hot water heater include faster heating and higher safety ratings, as natural gas or propane can cause fires and explosions. It is not impossible for an electric hot water heater to cause a fire as well, but most people associate the fire and explosion problems with gas hot water heaters, which makes them more ‘dangerous’ in the eyes of many people. This is important to be aware of when determining whether one wants to have a gas or an electric central heating installation. You can choose an electric boiler out of a number of respected brands, there are different sizes so singles can have a small one and large families get more water space.

Central Heating Benefits For The Family

Jeff — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 06:00:43 +0000

It seems simple and it is, but some people still don’t appreciate the fact that turning the central heating on can reduce the need for wearing layers in the home. Some homeowners have to sit in their coats when at home because they get so cold, but when you have central heating this doesn’t have to happen. And of course, the visitors wouldn’t be too pleased if they popped round.

Digital Thermostats

Many homeowners would like to turn their central heating on but don’t in case it costs too much. Opt for a digital thermostat if you are concerned about costs as this is a great cost-effective method. People end up with costly bills when they leave the central heating on all day, but if you keep your eye on a digital thermostat, this shouldn’t happen. In fact, you’ll be glad of the digital thermostat when summer comes around and there’s inevitably a few days a month when it gets a bit chilly and you think you have to resort to turning the central heating on for the whole day. With a thermostat, you can have the heat on for as long as you like.

Keeping The Kids Warm

Each winter morning can be bitter when you have to get up out of bed and venture downstairs in a cold house, but central heating puts a stop to that. Just be sure to pre-set the central heating system so you can make sure you get up in a nice warm house. If you don’t turn the heating on you will have to tell your family to wear more layers of clothing. Do you really want to have to tell your whole family to wear more layers? It would be so much easier just to turn the central heating on. If you have children in your family then its not fair to leave them cold in the house. Children should be kept warm and the central heating should be turned on. Without the heating warming all round the house, every time you entered another room you would get another blast of cold air, and god forbid you open the door to let the dog out – you will feel even colder!

Hopefully now you can appreciate the benefits of central heating. Turn the central heating on and then people wont feel like they are braving the arctic when they head downstairs, wrapped in a dressing gown. Reserve the warm woolly jumpers for when you’re outside, not for sitting on the sofa inside. All in all, the heat the central heating provides will make everyone happy in the home.

Why People Love The Modern Radiators

Jeff — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 06:00:42 +0000

Homeowners have seen multiple changes over the years when it comes to household appliances. One of the most interesting changes over the years has been the development of the radiator.

Radiators have changed quite significantly since when they first entered the home. The once ugly and large radiators have now been condensed into neat and tidy wall fixtures. If you have a modern central heating system in your home then you’re likely to have modern radiators too.

So what do modern radiators look like? For many people, they only know of the classic, old style radiators which take up a lot of space on the walls. Many people are used to this kind and have never really thought anything of it. But the new style radiators are what people are shouting about. They are have a double thickness for a start, which allows for more heat penetration. As well as this, the big plus is the fact they take up less space. Instead of spreading lengthways, modern radiators are thicker at the front so they can be positioned much more neatly in homes without taking over the whole wall.

Naturally, smaller radiators look more appealing. Most would say that the radiators of old have never been particularly attractive, but nowadays people actually like looking at the modern radiators. They are also much more energy efficient, so this is one of the main reasons why people upgrade their central heating system and radiators, so then they can have lower their fuel bills.

If you haven’t seen the new radiators yet, don’t worry. In this case, it is well worth speaking with a central heating system specialist who will be able to tell you all about why they are better and convince you that now is the time to upgrade.

These days, radiators really can be an attractive and appealing part of the home, so take a look at what options you have.

Large Homes And Large Boilers

Jeff — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 06:00:41 +0000

Living in a mansion or stately home doesn’t come cheap, and gas bills can be extortionate. No stately home owner wants the boiler to fail on them, especially with so many rooms that would end up cold! In fact, it doesn’t matter who you are or where you live, as everyone needs a boiler service at some point.

Don’t Neglect Your Boiler Service

Of course, most people have central heating installed these days, so it’s easy to see why the need for a boiler service is on the rise. Central heating engineers have no shortage of work doing boiler services. Stately homes might have much larger boilers to heat the whole building, since the properties are so large. This is the same with mansions. Any grand home needs to have a boiler service, because if something went wrong your bank balance would know about it! Having said that, a boiler service in a stately home or mansion will probably cost a pretty penny. As a general rule, the larger the size of the boiler then the longer it will take the engineer to check it over properly.

A New Boiler Will Cost, But It’s Necessary

In most cases, the boiler service should take place each year, but stately homes will probably need one a couple of times a year. If you’re not 100% sure what you should do, make sure you speak with a central heating company who will guide you in the right direction. Its better having it early than late, and as boiler explosions and the like are on the rise, it is even more imperative that your boiler undergoes a boiler service. It may be that you need a new boiler fitting and this could eat into your home maintenance costs, but living in a stately home or mansion means you need to be prepared for these sorts of things. Whether you’re a celebrity or a stately home heir, be sure to budget for a boiler service and the potential problems that may occur with owning such a large home and trying to heat it properly.

Learning The Basics Of Central Heating

Jeff — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 06:00:40 +0000

The world of central heating is often a complicated one, and many homeowners just don’t know the ins and outs of central heating systems, including boilers and radiators. They take it for granted that their house is warm when they want it to be and when they have hot water coming out of the tap. There’s still a lot more you could learn about central heating. To start with though, lets go back to basics and detail the essentials you need to know about central heating. This article could go on and on detailing everything you need to know about it, but for now, let’s start with the basics; the ABC’s of central heating.

Boilers

The boiler is where it all happens. Some homeowners are used to the old style boilers which are basic in comparison to the combi boilers of today, which heat the home as well as the water. Some people see the use of a combi boiler as a cost-effective alternative to the old appliances. People therefore choose to have combi boilers these days because they are much safer and last a long time.

Radiators

The radiators penetrate the heat into the room. Without a radiator in the room, the room would be freezing cold. Radiators do a very important job and are also useful in identifying when something might be wrong with your central heating system in general. No heat from the radiator means there is a fault. You never know, it could be something to do with the radiator or the boiler.

Central Heating System

The central heating system is the name given to the complete heating package, which encompasses the boiler and the radiators. Some people might also talk about the central heating system when they want to change the thermostat temperature.

So, here you have a quick breakdown about central heating and what the important components mean.

How To Save On Central Heating Costs

Jeff — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 04:44:26 +0000

We are always being told how to save money on our household bills, whether it’s on the news or an energy-saving advert we see on TV, and if you feel like you have exhausted every avenue of reducing your costs, you need to ask yourself if it is worth switching suppliers. If you need to save money on your central heating system, moving to a new supplier could be just the ticket you need. Many suppliers offer incentives for you to switch and be their new customer, so see if you can take advantage of this.

Make That Change

Many homeowners are reluctant to switch suppliers in case it proves to be a mistake. It may be that you feel the same and would rather stay with your expensive supplier just for the fact it is less hassle. Its perfectly reasonable to assume that it is the ‘safe’ option to stick with the same supplier, but it is by no means the cheapest option. When it comes to central heating, always check out what the various suppliers have to offer. Plus, the most important thing is saving money, and in times of a recession, this has never been so important for homeowners. You might not think it, but more people are shopping around for a way to achieve cost-effective home bills. You only need to consider the booming price comparison market online to realise just how important it is for people to search and compare the best deals.

Bills, Bills, Bills

Even if you’re still not 100% convinced that it is time to switch, getting some quotes in might be a good idea. It may be that you haven’t even got a central heating system installed yet, and you’re looking for a company that will do the best job. Indeed, with so much competition out there, finding the best supplier can sometimes feel like a long drawn out task. Energy costs are crippling British homeowners up and down the country and those in the know can reduce their bills just by knowing what to do. Never just assume that your supplier is the only one there is – there is always a choice. With suppliers galore, your central heating system doesn’t have to be arranged through just one of them.

If you want to save money on everything from hot water to central heating, switching suppliers could be the best solution. No matter how small the reduction is, if you get better customer service then this is another great reason for switching, and you wont regret your decision.

Tricks Of The Trade – Save Money On Your Heating Bills

Jeff — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 04:44:25 +0000

He’s a name familiar to thousands in the UK, and he doesn’t show any sign of losing the nation’s interest any time soon. Martin Lewis is revered as the Money Saving Expert, and if you haven’t heard of him then it might be worth checking what he has to say.

Once you have done a bit of research online, you can soon become your own money saving expert and know the best ways to free up some cash. So, read on for some tips to get you started.

In order to make life easier, check out some price comparison sites and see what information they return to you. If you haven’t had central heating installed yet, it might be worth calling for some central heating quotes to see what they suggest. Don’t fall into the trap of getting one quote and accepting it immediately. How can you tell if it’s a good deal?

New boiler time – a new boiler could actually save you a lot of money in the long run. Indeed, it is a pricey expense to start with, because you need to pay for the appliance and installation, but you should find that your heating costs reduce considerably when a new boiler is put in place. A new boiler heats up much more quickly and the house will get warmer, meaning you don’t need to have the central heating turned on as long.

Get a boiler repaired – not everyone can afford to splash out on a new boiler, so getting the boiler repaired may be the better solution for you. If you don’t know if your boiler is working to the best of its ability, book a boiler service in and see what the engineer recommends. Trust what the engineer says and if your boiler needs repairing then ask him to show you what has failed on it. A boiler repair is going to be much cheaper than having a new boiler fitted, but the long term heating costs might not be so pleasing to the bank balance.

Now you have a few tips for becoming your own money saving expert, so use them wisely. When it comes to energy saving, and central heating in particular, any money saving tips can prove invaluable.

Boiler Servicing On An Annual Contract

Jeff — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 04:43:25 +0000

It is not the best of ideas to take the comfort as well as convenience of having hot water in the home for granted. Everyday activities like washing or cleaning the dishes would be done with cold water, not very nice at all. Signing an annual boiler servicing contract means you have a trained professional on call to fix any problems you might experience with your boiler.

Suppliers often include an annual service in their guarantee so in the first two or three years you will not have to pay for labour or parts should something go wrong. You can also get a boiler servicing contact that will cover old system for at least a year. Considering that most repairs cost a minimum of £100, signing a service contract could end up saving you a fortune over the term that is covered.

You can often choose between a number of protective plans so that different eventualities are covered and you do not have to spend the same as getting full coverage. In addition, if one wish to obviate the necessity of calling the water repair services company, one can take some preventive steps that don’t cost a penny, but will certainly affect significant savings like lowering your thermostat.

There are many problems that can happen with a boiler and are actually rather common so a boiler servicing contract would come in useful including leaking pipes, water temperature fluctuations and noises. Depending on the nature of the problem as well as the size of the water heater and the necessity of changing parts, one can expect to pay a tidy sum of money, in case there is not a water heater services contract signed. If you do not want he risk of having to pay hundreds of pounds every time something goes wrong with your boiler than the small price of a yearly boiler servicing contract is definitely worth the price. Now you can see how important boiler servicing really is.

Central Heating Installation And Fixing Water Heater Problems

Jeff — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 19:44:04 +0000

At some point every household appliance will need to be fixed or replaced as age gets the better of it. This also applies to your water heater. There are many solutions to choose between when it comes to mending your hot water system’s problems. An option includes having central heating installation performed in your home.

Central Heating Problems And Some Solutions

Sediment collecting in the system is a common problem. These particles are found naturally in the water and will settle at the bottom of your tank which can cause blockages later down the line. If you flush out your water system regularly you can prevent this problem.

If you do not use your water heater for a period of time, the stagnating water may begin to smell. This water heater problem is easily fixed by, once again, flushing out the system, this time with the use of some bleaching products that are available specifically for this problem.

Your gas central heater will have a pilot light which sets the gas aflame. If your pilot light is not on, you should look at the safety instructions with your system to get it re-lit.. Call a professional if after this you are still having problems getting the pilot light aflame. This water heater problem is best handled by the professionals.

The most frustrating water heater problem will be that of no supply of hot water, especially during the cold winter months when hot water will be in great demand. This might occur because of problems with your thermostat or power supply. Again if you cannot solve the problem you will need to call a technician to fix this problem.

Whenever something goes wrong with your central heating there is bound to be something you can do just by looking in your manual. Their trouble shooting section should provide you with your answers. If the answer is not here you should call out a technician.

Think About Central Heating When Buying A New Home

Jeff — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 19:44:03 +0000

If you are thinking of moving house, one of the first things you should put on your list is the need for central heating installation. This is particularly true with rising energy costs.

Things to Consider With Heating

As you inspect potential homes, the central heating installation should be foremost in your mind. If the potential new home hasn’t already benefited from central heating installation, now is your chance to work out where it should go.

1. Layout – Lets look at the layout first, as this does have an influence over your energy bills. While high ceilings are beautiful architectural aspects, they can be a huge heating issue. The problem is that heat rises, so you will need more heating to heat the entire home when you have high ceilings. Always remember that high ceilings equate to high-energy bills.

A second layout issue concerns the number of stories in the residence. With a home that has many levels, considering how you intend to heat all the floors is important, especially the lower ones. Tri-level homes often have a problem with something called the zone effect. Quite often, this means that the lower level rooms are cold and the top level rooms are warm. Unless you have a very sophisticated heating system, tri-level residences are going to drive your heating bill through the roof.

2. Control Areas – One way to reduce the central heating requirements for high ceiling and tri-level homes is a controllable central heating system. Many modern heating systems allow you to isolate particular sections of the home you wish to heat. These can be a godsend for larger homes where certain rooms are not used often. If the home you’re moving to hasn’t already had central heating installation, this is something you can consider.

3. Vents – A more mundane, but important issue, are vent locations. It has to be said that the vent layout in some homes leaves a lot to be desired. If you find vents located under windows, you can expect the heating bills to be outrageous. In addition to this, rooms without any vents can also be problematic, as they will take longer to heat up meaning you have to have the heating turned on for longer.

If it is a new home you’re thinking of buying, the central heating installation shouldn’t pose much of a problem as all the details above should have been taken into consideration by the developers. Just be wary of older homes, as their high ceilings and generally larger rooms can make your central heating and energy bills rocket.

Central Heating Quote For Your House

Jeff — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 19:43:58 +0000

Every member of the family appreciates HD technology on the new TV. When the family computer is upgraded to a newer model, everyone appreciates the speed of the latest equipment. The best and biggest central heating system could be installed in the family home, and no one would realize the efficiency or effectiveness of this appliance unless it stopped working in the middle of their shower. But this would be the last household appliance any family would choose to give up if they were only aloud 1.

Central heating systems that use gas are the most popular in Britain. The gas water heater that uses a storage tank is one of the most energy efficient types available on the market. They are also much quicker than electricity at heating the water. For a big family, this might make a big difference. But it is up to each individual family whether they choose gas and electricity based on which energy type they prefer. If you ask around and find a central heating quote from a few companies, you will see that gas is normally cheaper than electricity.

A Gas Water Heater Provides Warm Showers, Sparkling Dishes and Clean Clothes

A gas water heater is powered by natural gas which is usually a very efficient fuel for household purposes. By switching from an electric to a gas central heating system, families could save money on their household bills. However, prices can vary from year to year as suppliers change their prices. If you are looking for a way to heat your water without using natural resources then you might want to think about solar panels.

There is plenty of hot water for the whole family when they make use of a gas central heating system. They are also one of the most reliable forms of water heating as they are less likely to break down than other systems. Look for special offers and compare central heating quotes when looking for a new water heater so you save as much money as possible. Whilst you can buy them from DIY stores, you are best looking for a specialist who will fit it for you as well. Some of these models are more energy efficient than others so a careful study of the specifications of each model could save each consumer some money. You will be warm and clean for years to come if you invest in a god central heater.

Suffering With Central Heating Costs? Follow These Tips

Jeff — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 19:43:57 +0000

We know that homeowners are having to deal with rising energy prices, so it makes sense to try and reduce the central heating costs any way we can. Take a look at the 5 tips below to help you work out ways to keep costs to a minimum…so you have more money to spend on something else! Remember that there are small changes that you can make as well, which still have an effect on your overall costs.

1. Head down to the basement and reduce the setting on your hot water thermostat by about 10 degrees. Of course, use your own judgement, but you will probably find that you don’t need to go below 120 degrees with the thermostat temperature.

2. Since you’re already at your boiler adjusting the heat, it is a good idea to check that the filters are clean too. A dirty and clogged filter will force your unit to work much harder and stay on longer as it struggles to penetrate anything through the central heating system.

3. Not only do you need to follow the above tips, you also need to make sure there are no leaks with your central heating system. If you have any disconnects or leaks, your heating bills could be 25% higher than they need to be if these gaps were sealed. Don’t worry about playing around with the appliance yourself, as that’s what the central heating experts are there for – call them up and they will send an engineer round. While the engineer is at your home, ask him to check the ducts too to make sure your system is running as efficiently as possible.

4. Adjust your thermostat a few degrees lower. Believe me, this really adds up. When the bill comes through you will be glad you did this.

5. If you suspect that your thermostat isn’t the most modern on the market, make sure you speak to someone about getting a new one which is programmable. The reason is, you can set the thermostat so the temperature setting in your house is lower at night than during the day, when you are awake. The great thing about this is that you can have a lovely warm house just before you arrive home, as the thermostat will only program heating and hot water as you want it to be. Since they are a very popular option these days, your engineer will be able to fit one of these programmable thermostats in no time at all.

Your central heating bills could be slashed in half if you follow the advice herein. You can get most of them done in just one day, but the payoff will last for as long as you live there! There has never been a better time to start making those necessary changes to your energy bills.
