For larger upgrades, a heating-engineer can recommend suitable controls or system changes. Provide a clear job description, access details and the number of radiators so quotes reflect the full scope. Systems can be combi, system or regular, so note the boiler type and age if you know it. If gas appliances are involved, ask about Gas Safe registration and what checks are included. Clear access to the boiler and radiators helps avoid delays. If you know the boiler make and model, include it to help with parts and planning.
