A central heating survey is a visual inspection of your central heating system to assess its condition and performance. It can help identify any existing and potential issues with your system and make informed decisions about future maintenance to avoid costly repairs.

There are a number of reasons why getting a central heating survey is important:

• Buying a house: You are buying a new home and want to know the condition of the central heating system.
• Inefficient system: You are concerned about the efficiency of your heating system and want to see if there are any ways to improve it.
• Recurring Issues: You have had problems with your central heating system in the past and want to get a professional opinion on the matter.
• Home improvements: You are planning to make changes to your home, such as adding an extension or converting to underfloor heating, and want to ensure that your heating system can cope with the increased demand.

A central heating survey will typically involve the following:

• A visual assessment of your boiler, radiators, pipework, and controls.
• A check of the flue and ventilation system.
• A test of the boiler’s efficiency.
• A discussion of your heating needs and budget.

At the end of the survey, you will receive a detailed written report that includes:

• A description of the current state and condition of your existing central heating system.
• Any recommendations for maintenance or repair work.
• An estimate of the cost of any necessary work.

• Peace of mind: Knowing the condition of your central heating system can give you peace of mind that it is working properly and that you are not at risk of a breakdown.
• Early detection of problems: A central heating survey can help identify any potential problems with your system early on before they cause a major issue. This can save you money on repairs and prevent you from being left without heating and hot water, especially during the winter months.
• Increased efficiency: A central heating survey can identify ways to improve the efficiency of your system, which can save you money on your energy bills.
• Increased comfort: A well-maintained central heating system will provide you with more efficient heating and hot water.

• Heating controls
• Age and condition of the boiler

Initial Assessment: Our technicians will conduct an initial inspection to evaluate the overall condition of your heating system.

Detailed Survey: We then perform a detailed survey of each component of the heating system to identify any potential issues or areas that may require attention.

Comprehensive Report: Once the survey is completed, our team will compile a detailed report outlining our findings and provide you with expert recommendations.

We will also assess if your system would benefit from a power flush system clean and issue a gas safety certificate for gas boiler heating systems.

At the end of our central heating system survey, our engineer will provide you with a detailed report of the following:

• Indication if any parts do not meet the current BS/Gas Safe legislation.
• Highlighting any potential energy-efficient measures.
• Recommendations to help you plan future maintenance works.
• Assurance that your system is safe.

If you are considering buying a new property, our report will help you understand any potential issues and associated costs of the heating system. We will also include information if the system does not comply with current legislation or if your equipment is undersized. In such cases, we will provide you with a detailed quote for recommended upgrade works.

The cost of a central heating survey will vary depending on the size and complexity of your system. However, it is typically a relatively inexpensive investment that can save you money in the long run by helping you to identify and fix any problems with your system early on.

It is crucial to understand that a central heating survey does not replace the need for an annual boiler service or having an up-to-date Gas Safety Record.

Boiler Service

While a central heating survey offers valuable insights into the overall performance and general condition of your heating system, it should be viewed as a complement to, not a replacement for, regular boiler servicing. A boiler service involves a detailed check of your boiler to ensure it is operating safely and efficiently. It should be conducted annually and is crucial for maintaining the validity of your boiler’s warranty.

Why not make the most of your Central Heating System Survey appointment and book a full boiler service at the same time? Our heating engineers at Mayfair Plumbers are equipped to handle both during the same visit, ensuring your heating system’s thorough inspection and maintenance.

Gas Safety Record [CP12]

A Central Heating Survey is different from a Gas Safety Record [CP12]. The latter is a legal requirement for landlords of rented properties and involves a certified safety check of all gas appliances, fittings, and flues provided for tenants’ use. While this certificate is not legally required for homeowners, it is highly recommended. If you need a Gas Safety check, don’t hesitate to contact us (CTA) and one of our qualified Gas Safe Registered engineers would be delighted to help you.
