For system upgrades, a heating-engineer can advise on new thermostats, smart controls and more efficient setups. They can also diagnose cold spots, noisy radiators and uneven heating.

Provide the property type, number of radiators and any recent issues so the scope is clear. Systems can be combi, system or regular, so note the boiler type and age if you know it.
