    Convert central heating with 1 meter into separate controls & meters

    Would it be a big job? Would floorboards have to be taken up etc? How long would it take? Each unit is a single-person flat. Would tenants have to move while it's done, or could it be done in a short time...say within a day? It's an old building - heating is from 70s or 80s. The type of heating...

    My gas central heating uses a lot of electricity - Why?

    I have gas fired central heating and hot water system. It is on a timer, but, in winter, I leave the central heating on and the thermostat set low - 17c. I'm well insulated so the heating comes on infrequently but enough to keep the house warm enough for a family of three. Here's the problem...

    Hi all, Central heating has packed up at my parents house, firstly it was only the upstairs Rads that were working and downstairs not now both have stopped working. I think it could be the central heating water pump as it seems a little loud with some 'odd' sounds now and then, I have tried...

    S-Plan Central Heating Installation Question

    I'm just putting this out here in case I am missing something.
