The raging debate between heat pumps vs gas boilers has gained further momentum as the UK government is updating building regulations to make it more difficult to install gas boilers in newly built homes.

By the middle of the decade, new homes will have to emit 75% less carbon as part of the Future Homes Standard, which supports a gas boiler ban in new homes from 2051. This has led to a growing interest in eco-friendly heating systems such as heat pumps, which are electric-powered and more environmentally friendly than gas boilers – but not everyone is convinced about the tech (or the price) just yet.

Our expert guide simplifies the distinctions between these two technologies and the differences in how these systems operate, as well as their efficiency, eco-friendliness, and the cost of installation and operation.

Heat Pumps Vs Gas Boilers

The heat pump vs gas boiler discussion focuses on two technologies delivering the same result: hot water and central heating. However, their methods differ significantly.

The government promotes air-source and ground-source heat pumps as successors to gas boilers in the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Now is the time to evaluate your options, comparing these systems in terms of operation, efficiency, eco-friendliness, installation costs, and running expenses.

Key Differences: Heat Pumps vs Gas Boilers

Both provide the same result for homeowners, but the design setup varies hugely, requiring precise calculations, sizing and control adjustments for heat pumps.

Suitability for Different Properties

While ground-source heat pumps are better for larger properties, air-source or ground-source heat pumps are suitable for homes under 300m2.

Efficiency Comparison: Heat Pump vs Gas Boiler

Cost Considerations

Running Costs: Heat Pump vs Gas Boiler

Considering electricity and gas unit costs, a heat pump’s CoP should be between 3 and 5 for financial parity. As energy costs rise, the transition from gas to a heat pump may become more economically viable when also paired with things like solar.

Space Requirements

Comparatively, new combi boilers are smaller and can fit in kitchens or hidden within units.

Incentives

Currently, the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) supports heat pump installations, providing homeowners with financial benefits for seven years. The RHI ended on March 31, 2022, and was replaced by the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, offering a one-off grant of £7,500 for your chosen low-carbon system.

There are no such incentive schemes for gas boilers.

Future of Gas Boilers

Gas boilers may face phasing out by 2035, depending on government decisions about hydrogen strategies by 2026. If hydrogen and low/zero carbon gas integration occur, boilers might not be an issue, with the focus on fuel rather than appliances.

Christmas is a time of joy and celebration, but it can also be a time of stress and frustration if your boiler breaks down and leaves you without heating or hot water. Boilers work overtime over Christmas, as people have the heating on more to keep family and friends toasty and comfortable. However, this also increases the risk of boiler breakdowns, especially if your boiler is old or poorly maintained.

If you find yourself in this situation, don’t panic – here are some tips on what to do and who to contact.

What to do if your boiler breaks down

The first thing to do is to check if the problem is something simple that you can fix yourself, such as:

If none of these steps work, or if you are unsure how to do them, you should call a qualified, local heating engineer as soon as possible to inspect and repair your boiler. Do not attempt to open or tamper with the boiler yourself, as this could be dangerous and invalidate your warranty.

Who to contact for a local boiler repair

If your boiler is still under warranty, you should contact the manufacturer or the installer to arrange a boiler repair. They should be able to send a local gas engineer to your home within a reasonable time frame, depending on the availability and the severity of the problem. However, some warranties may not cover breakdowns caused by external factors, such as freezing weather or lack of maintenance, so make sure you read the terms and conditions carefully.

If your boiler is out of warranty, or if you are not satisfied with the service provided by the manufacturer, you can contact a local boiler engineer to help you. However, you should always make sure that the engineer is Gas Safe registered, which means that they are qualified and authorised to work on gas appliances. You can check the Gas Safe register online or ask to see the engineer’s ID card when they arrive.

Prevention is better than cure! 

The best way to avoid boiler breakdowns is to have your boiler serviced regularly by a Gas Safe registered engineer. A boiler service will check the safety and efficiency of your boiler, identify any potential problems, and fix them before they become serious. You should have your boiler serviced at least once a year, preferably before the winter season, to ensure that it is ready for the cold weather.

Another way to prevent boiler breakdowns is to install a smart thermostat (boiler and heating system dependant), which can help you control your heating and hot water remotely, monitor your energy usage, and detect any faults in your boiler. A smart thermostat can also learn your habits and preferences, and adjust the temperature accordingly, saving you money and energy.

If you’ve been feeling a bit chilly lately, even with the heating turned up, and your radiators aren’t quite doing their job, it might be a good idea to bleed or flush them. As the UK winter approaches, our radiators become essential companions, but if they’re not pulling their weight, this blog post is here to guide you. We’ll explore common issues and handy tips forradiators not warming up to bring back that cosy warmth to your home.

Radiator Cold at the Top?

One of the possible reasons for a radiator not heating up is that there is air trapped inside it. Air can block the flow of hot water to the top of the radiator, making it feel cold or lukewarm. This can happen when the central heating system is refilled or when there is a leak in the pipework. To fix this issue, you need to bleed your radiator, which means releasing the trapped air from the bleed valve.

Bleeding Radiators Top to Bottom

Bleeding your radiators is a simple and effective way to improve their performance and efficiency. However, you need to follow the right order and sequence to ensure that you remove all the air from your heating system. The general rule is to start from the lowest radiator in your home and work your way up to the highest one. This is because air tends to rise to the top of the system, so you need to release it from the bottom first. You also need to start from the radiator that is furthest away from the boiler and move towards the closest one. This is because the boiler pumps the water to the radiators, so you need to release the air from the end of the circuit first.
To bleed your radiator, you will need a radiator key, a cloth, and a container to catch any water that might drip.

Read our blog If you still have issues with boiler pressure dropping or if you’re having further issues with cold radiators it might be time to call your local heating engineers for a service/repair.

Radiator Hot at the Top and Cold at the Bottom

Another possible reason why your radiator is colder at the bottom is that there is sludge build-up at the bottom of it – doesn’t sound good, does it?

Sludge is a mixture of rust, dirt, and impurities that can accumulate inside your radiators over time. It can block the flow of hot water to the bottom of the radiator, making it feel cold or unevenly heated. This can happen when the water in your heating system is:

 
To fix this issue, you need to flush your radiator, which means removing the sludge from the inside of it. While this is not difficult, it does take some time and effort and might be better reserved for a heating engineer who can powerflush your entire system more effectively.

To flush your radiator, you will need a correctly sized spanner, a hosepipe, and a container to catch the dirty water.
