Adding an extension? FITnFIX design and fit efficient systems to take care of heating and hot water needs.

One of our long standing customers in Croydon had an extension project underway and requested a quote for a new heating and hot water system to meet the requirements their expanded home. After the initial assessment we had put forward several options including an air source heat pump and a conventional gas boiler. Regardless of the chosen implementation our ethos is to deliver a trouble free, easy to maintain and use system possible while taking up the least amount of space and George who installed the new system had done a fantastic job in that regard.

Underfloor Heating

This is a no brainer for any extension project. The highest obstacle to an underfloor heating installation is removal of all existing flooring and surfaces, insulation and covering of the underfloor heating system. With that taken care of the installation costs can be surprisingly low with entire system material cost not exceeding a typical radiator alternative.

In our books the main advantage of this system is it is readily compatible with air source heat pumps should the customer decide to have it fitted in the future, whereas traditional radiators are often too small and would require sizing up.

Hot Water

Hot water cylinders and system boilers offer several advantages for homeowners, particularly those with larger households or high hot water demands. Cylinders store a significant amount of hot water, ensuring a readily available supply for multiple uses simultaneously, such as showers, baths, and washing machines (so long as your incoming mains pressure is adequate). Cylinders maintain a consistent hot water temperature, providing comfort and convenience for users as well as backup electric immersion facility should the boiler fail. Cylinders can also be integrated with solar thermal systems and heat pumps.

Gas Boiler

On this occasion our Croydon customer opted for a gas boiler over a heat pump due to limited outdoor space. We supply and fit a variety of brands, the boilers we fit are known for their reliability and durability, providing long-lasting performance. On this occasion an Ideal Independent 24kw system boiler was specified. The combination of a system boiler and a hot water cylinder is ideal for homes with multiple bathrooms or high hot water usage. The system is able to operate efficiently throughout the year.

Ongoing Maintenance

This type of system benefits from low maintenance costs with warranty available for up to 10 years. Servicing costs are as little as £150 per year. Our Croydon client has had their old system serviced and maintained by FITnFIX and we will provide an ongoing care and support for the new system also.
