Modernise Your Home: High-Efficiency Heating Upgrades in Wokingham
We specialise in modernising aging systems across Berkshire with the latest in heating technology. By integrating high-efficiency A-rated boilers, intelligent smart controls, and precision thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs), we transform inefficient houses into smart, energy-saving homes.
Magnetic System Filters
-
Protect your boiler and heating system from sludge with a magnetic filter. It traps metal particles, preventing blockages and wear, boosting efficiency and lifespan.
Water Softener
-
Fed up with hard water? A water softener removes the minerals that cause limescale, giving you softer water. This means better soap suds, clearer glass, and longer-lasting appliances. It also helps reduce maintenance, protects your pipes and boiler, and makes your soft.
Thermostat Radiator Valves
-
Are some rooms too hot while others are too cold? Installing modern Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs) allows you to set temperatures room-by-room. We also replace old, inefficient radiators with modern designer or high-output models to maximise heat transfer.
Radiators
-
Need a new radiator installed, replaced, or repaired? We handle leaks, airlocks, and system balancing to ensure even heat and greater home comfort.
Aquabion
-
Wokingham has notoriously hard water. We install high-efficiency Water Softeners and eco-friendly Aquabion systems to protect your boiler, shower, and appliances from limescale damage. Softer water means longer-lasting appliances and lower maintenance costs.
Smart Heating Controls
-
Stop heating an empty house. We are professional Hive and Nest installers in Wokingham. Smart controls allow you to manage your heating from your phone, potentially saving you up to £311 per year on energy bills.

Heating & Hot Water Upgrades: Frequently Asked Questions
-
If your boiler is over 12–15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or your energy bills are rising despite regular servicing, an upgrade to an A-rated condensing model can reduce your gas consumption by up to 30%.
-
Unlike traditional "gravity-fed" tanks in the loft, unvented cylinders deliver mains-pressure hot water to every tap in your home. This means powerful showers and fast-filling baths, even if multiple taps are running at once.
-
Absolutely. Modern radiators are designed with better "convection fins" that distribute heat more effectively. Upgrading old, sludged-up radiators can eliminate cold spots and allow your boiler to run at a lower, more efficient temperature.
-
We specialise in installing smart thermostats like Nest, Hive, and Tado. These allow you to control your heating room-by-room from your phone, potentially saving hundreds of pounds a year by only heating the spaces you are actually using
-
Yes. Modern Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs) give you individual control over every room. If you have a room that is rarely used, you can set the TRV lower to save energy without affecting the comfort of your living room
