Do you Install Boilers?
Yes. Boilers are one of our core specialties.
We install new, energy-efficient boilers and provide fast, reliable repairs on most major makes and models. Whether your boiler has lost pressure, stopped heating properly, or broken down completely, we can help.
​
How Often Should a Boiler be Serviced? Do you service all boilers?
We recommend annual boiler servicing to:
-
Keep your system efficient
-
Reduce breakdown risk
-
Maintain manufacturer warranty
-
Ensure safe operation​
​
Regular maintenance can significantly extend the life of your boiler.
We service a wide range of boiler types including combi boilers, system boilers, and regular boilers from leading manufacturers.
​
How Do I know If I Need a New Boiler?
Common signs you may need a replacement:
-
Your boiler is 12–15+ years old
-
Frequent breakdowns
-
Rising energy bills
-
Uneven heating
-
Strange noises (banging, kettling, gurgling)
-
Difficulty finding replacement parts​
​
What Does Your Boiler Installation Include?
At Perceptive Heating, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all heating systems. Every home is different, which is why we take the time to properly assess your property, heating demands, and long-term efficiency goals before recommending a boiler.​
Our goal isn’t just to install a boiler — it’s to install it properly so it performs efficiently for years to come.
​
What Happens During a Boiler Service?
During a boiler service, a qualified engineer will inspect the boiler, check key components, test safety features, and ensure the system is operating efficiently. Services are tailored to the specific type of boiler you have, as gas, LPG, and oil systems each require different checks and procedures. This ensures your boiler is serviced correctly and operating safely and reliably.
