Conversions, radiator and control upgrades, zoning, cylinder replacement and full modernisation. Every upgrade starts with the property rather than with a product.
Adept Heating carries out heating system upgrades across Bolsover, Chesterfield, Dinnington, Killamarsh, Kiveton Park, Mosborough, North Anston, Rotherham, South Anston and Worksop. That covers conventional to combi conversions, combi to system boiler and cylinder conversions, radiator and control upgrades, zoning, cylinder replacement and full system modernisation.

Two bed terrace or semi, one bathroom, one or two people: a combi, almost always. We check the mains flow rate first, because older terraces around Dinnington, Anston, Worksop and Bolsover often have a small or shared incoming supply.
Three bed semi or detached with an en suite, family of four: usually still a combi, but a bigger output one. If two showers will run at once, this is where a system boiler and an unvented cylinder earns its place.
Four bed and above, two or more bathrooms: system boiler and an unvented cylinder. Fitting a combi to a house like this is a common and expensive mistake, because a combi heats water at the rate it flows through it.
Off the mains gas grid: oil or LPG, and the same design questions apply. There are plenty of properties around Woodsetts, Laughton, Firbeck and the Nottinghamshire border in this position, and the options are wider than most people are told.
Modern condensing boilers are rated at 92% or above under ErP. Non condensing boilers from before 2005 typically ran at 70 to 80%. That is the headline number on every quote.
The part that gets missed is that a condensing boiler only condenses if the return water temperature is low enough, generally below about 55 degrees. Leave the flow temperature at the factory default of 80 and the boiler never enters condensing mode. We set the flow temperature properly on every installation and explain what it is set to and why.
Qualified engineers, a clean job and a fixed written price agreed before we start. We stand behind everything we fit.
It depends on how many bathrooms you have and how many people want hot water at once. One bathroom, combi. Two or more bathrooms in regular use, keep the cylinder and fit a system boiler.
For a mains gas property, a correctly sized condensing boiler with weather compensation controls, running at a low flow temperature on a clean system. Efficiency comes from the set up as much as from the appliance.
If rooms never reach temperature, or if you are lowering the flow temperature to improve efficiency, then yes. Bigger radiators are what allow a lower flow temperature to still heat the room, and they are also what makes a future heat pump work properly.
On a condensing combi, somewhere around 60 degrees for heating is a common starting point, with hot water higher. If yours has been on 80 since the day it was fitted, it is costing you money.
It depends on insulation, radiator sizes and where the outdoor unit could go. We are adding air source heat pump installation once our training and certification are complete, and we are happy to tell you now whether your property is a realistic candidate.
Call 07519 665062 and we will assess the property and tell you what is worth doing and in what order.
