Question 1

What is a powerflush and do I need one?

Accepted Answer

A powerflush forces cleaning fluid through your heating system at high velocity to remove built-up sludge, rust and debris. If radiators run cold in patches, or the boiler makes banging or kettling noises, it is often the recommended first step before any other work.

Question 2

How do I know my central heating needs a powerflush?

Accepted Answer

Common signs include radiators cold at the top or bottom even after bleeding, rooms that never reach a comfortable temperature, banging noises from the boiler, or black sludgy water when you bleed a radiator. Any of these in a Hugh Mill home is worth having checked.

Question 3

Do you fit smart thermostats or heating controls?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We fit and set up modern heating controls and smart thermostats compatible with your boiler, giving you better room-by-room control and scheduling. It is a straightforward upgrade that helps you manage comfort and running costs more precisely.

Question 4

How much can I save by upgrading to a new boiler?

Accepted Answer

Upgrading from an old, inefficient boiler to a modern A-rated condensing boiler can save you hundreds of pounds a year on your energy bills, depending on your current boiler's age and efficiency. We will give you an honest estimate of the likely savings for your specific property during a free survey, rather than a generic figure.

Question 5

What types of boiler can you install, combi, system, or conventional?

Accepted Answer

We install all three types: combi boilers (heating water on demand with no separate cylinder), system boilers (working with a hot water cylinder), and conventional heat-only boilers (working with a cylinder and cold water tank). We will recommend the right type for your property during a free survey.

Question 6

What happens during a central heating system check?

Accepted Answer

We assess your radiators, valves, pipework and existing filter to find exactly where heat is being lost before recommending anything. Once we know what the system needs, we give you a fixed quote, so you know the full cost before any work begins.

Question 7

Is a central heating check the same as a boiler service?

Accepted Answer

No. A boiler service covers the boiler itself, while a central heating check looks at radiators, valves, pipework and the existing filter across the whole system. We can assess both together so nothing in the system gets missed.

Question 8

Which boiler brands do you install and recommend?

Accepted Answer

As a Baxi Approved Installer, we specialise in Baxi boilers and can offer extended warranties of up to 10 years. Baxi produce highly reliable, energy-efficient boilers with excellent value for money. We can also install other leading brands such as Worcester Bosch and Vaillant if required, and will recommend the best boiler for your home based on your property size, hot water demands, and budget rather than pushing a single brand.

Question 9

Are you Gas Safe registered?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Spencer Jordan Plumbing and Heating is Gas Safe registered, Register No. 640113, which you can verify directly on the Gas Safe Register. We only carry out central heating and gas work within that registration.

Question 10

Can you add a new radiator to my existing system in Hugh Mill?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can add radiators to extend heating into conservatories, extensions or previously unheated rooms in your Hugh Mill home. We check first that your boiler and system have the capacity to support the addition properly before fitting it.
