Solid Fuel Central Heating and Link-Up Systems

Solid fuel central heating systems have been in existence for many years, but in 2010 Uk building regulations were changed in order to improve the efficiency and safety of these heating systems.



We are qualified under HETAS HTU08 to be able to both appraise existing systems and bring them up to the current requirements but also to carry out maintenance to compliant systems as well as install complete new systems.



We particularly specialise in electronically controlled Link up systems which allow users a much greater level of flexibility than a stand alone solid fuel boiler.

These systems grant the opportunity to connect different types of heat producing energy sources into the same system.

With the careful use of time switches, thermostatic controls and motorised valves it is possible to link a solid fuel boiler with an automatic boiler (such as a gas or oil boiler).

These controls when set to link up mode regulate the balance of energy between the solid fuel boiler and the automatic boiler ensuring that when the solid fuel boiler is operational all of the available energy is efficiently distributed to the hot water and heating system, only calling on the automatic boiler to top up when needed.

Should the solid fuel boiler cool down, the system closes down the circuit to prevent energy being wasted and the automatic boiler takes over full heating duties

They also allow operation in exclusively solid fuel or automatic mode and permit the installation of an unvented hot water cylinder(G3) or thermal store for ultimate convenience.



We can also install models capable of converting traditionally gravity based solid fuel systems to high efficiency fully pumped systems and even linking two solid fuel appliances in the same system, all while being fully compliant with building regulations part L (energy efficiency)
