How Your Central Heating Works

Posted on: October 31st, 2011 No Comments

A central heating system needs a water source (usually from storage tanks),a boiler for storing hot water, a heat source and way to deliver that heat to the property itself. The water storage tanks are usually stored in the attic or loft of a property because of the amount of space they can take up and to just generally keep them out of the way.

The heat source then is provided by either gas or oil or possibly even solar panels. The heat is controlled directly by the user themselves but obviously solar power can be a bit more fickle. After the water is heated and depending on the type of system you’re using the radiators are then filled with hot water to heat your home.

Newer types of central heating systems operate on a zone principle so you have a choice of heating either the radiators, the water and even specific rooms in your home as part of the system. The zones are controlled from a central control panel that’s also connected to several thermostats that are set to switch your heating off when the rooms reach the temperature you want which can save you an awful lot money in a single year.We are proud to serve the whole of the United Kingdom with our Powerflushing Services, the blog page you have just read was created for you by our Power Flushing team who provide Power Flushing in Hampshire, the team service the whole of the county while providing Power flushing in Romsey, Powerflushing Southampton and Powerflushing Southsea.
