You can get central heating systems and services from a number of suppliers including local hardware stores and dedicated companies. You need to make sure you choose the right system that will suit your home size, the number of people using the hot water and the number of rooms in your home. You can make that decision with the help of a qualified engineer or the sales people at your local shop or on the phone.
This article might be able to help you get a small idea about the different central heating systems available however.

Combi-Boilers
Combi boilers are efficient, small and powerful. They can supply a household with instant hot water which cuts down on the storage space necessary to fit a large tank in. This is ideal for busy homes with lots of people, small homes and bungalows. The water enters the system directly and is heated as it passes along the pipes and to your taps. There is no need for a storage tank which is an added bonus.

Gas Systems
With gas central heating you will find that your bills are slightly smaller than if you were to have and electric system. Water is heated in a tank from flames underneath and the water is kept warm with an insulating jacket over the boiler. Your water and radiators are heated in the same way and it takes a relatively short amount of time for the water to heat up.

Electric Systems
Systems which are powered with electricity have safety benefits which gas boilers simply can not offer. There is no risk of explosion or fire with the electric systems and gas leaks are avoided. This is a problem that has affected many of the older gas central heating systems. However electric systems can cost more to run and if something goes wrong they are often more complex to fix.

Combi boilers are by far the most efficient and useful central heating systems taking up less space and costing less money than the gas and electric versions. Installing a new system is easy when you find the right national supplier who will give you great service and specialist after care.

Have you ever wondered how your central heating system worked? Most people do not know which is why I have attempted to explain it in very simple terms

An average modern heating system will have some major components which are a boiler, radiators, hot water cylinder, thermostat, programmer, hot water cylinder, thermostat, pump and valve. The boiler has two jobs, to heat your radiators and heat your water tank. The programme which contains a clock allows you to automate when the heating and hot water is turned on and off.

When the boiler is turned on by the programmer the boiler will then be turned on and offer by either the room thermostat or the hot water cylinder thermostat. Each of the thermostats will turn the boiler on and off as and when the heat is needed.

The valve is electrically operated and is basically a switch which makes the hot water flow to the radiator or hot water cylinder depending on which thermostat is calling for heat, which can be both.

The water in your boiler is not the same that comes out of your taps. The water in your heating system goes around and around the boiler and radiators indefinitely. The only time it would get changed would be if a plumber were to drain the system for some reason.

If you ever wondered why your boiler continues to run for a few minutes after the boiler has been turned off this is because you have a modern boiler with a pump over-run facility. This removes the risk of static water in the heat exchanger being boiled by left over heat after the gas flame have been turned off which extends the heat exchanger life.

The pros of gas central heating systems is that gas is a highly efficient fuel which is why it's the most popular fuel in heating systems. The gas is piped directly into your home so you do not need to store it anywhere like you do with Oil or liquid petroleum gas (LPG). The downside of gas is that prices are high and seem likely to stay that way because we are competing with other countries to buy our Gas from abroad as we are no long self sufficient.

With Gas central heating systems it is very important to understand the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning. Boilers and gas appliances can leak carbon monoxide which can be fatal. Carbon monoxide is produced when gas appliances like boilers or ovens are not fully burning their fuel. This could be down to having be installed poorly or incorrectly, or when vents, chimneys or flues become blocked. This is the same for coal, wood, petrol and oil fired boilers as they can all produce deadly carbon monoxide.

This is why it is very important to get your heating systems and fuel powered appliances installed by experts and not just anybody. Boilers need to be annual serviced to ensure they are all working safely and efficiently and should only be installed by someone who is on the Gas Safe Register which is what replaced Corgi. This basically means they are legally allowed and qualified to do the work.

One of the best ways to increase the value of a home is by upgrading the central heating system. Some of the best reasons for updating is for comfort, to conserve energy or because the current system is no longer operable. Most homes are generally operating at an average of 75% rate of efficiency meaning that 75% of the energy (normally gas, oil or electricity) is utilized in the operation of the furnace. Therefore an average of 25% is wasted, which is money down the drain. Newer central heating systems are made to run more efficiently than ever before. Currently most furnaces that are being installed are operating at a 90% or better average rate of efficiency. Conserving energy equates to lower utility bills which means more money in your bank account. Therefore over time the new central heating system will pay for itself. In addition, the upfront market value of a home is increased with the installation of a new central heating system. If you were to sell the home, the value would be increased by the new system and would also make the home more appealing to a potential buyer.

With central heating, the heat is generated in one central place and then distributed throughout the home or building. This approach differs from local heating where the heating source such as a space heater or fireplace heats only one area or room. A typical system for central heating involves burning fuel such as gas, oil or coal in a boiler or furnace. In a home the furnace is normally located in the basement, attic, utility room or an airing closet. In commercial buildings, the furnace is normally in a dedicated boiler room. Electric central heating systems are more common where there are low cost electricity supplies or geothermal heat pumps are available. There are also green / environmentally geared central heating systems which are becoming more and more popular with growing concern for the environment. Such alternatives to fossil fuels such as solar and wind power are becoming more common but they are still much more expensive to install and therefore have not yet become mainstream.

The heat generated in the furnace, either from electricity, the combustion of fossil fuels or by seizing solar energy, is then distributed throughout the home. There are various methods for doing this. One method is to pump heated air through duct work. Another method involves heating water in the boiler and then circulating steam or hot water through pipes around the home or building. The pipes lead to wall mounted radiators. Each radiator has a regulating control so that the heat can be adjusted in the room.

The central heating system is often part of a larger and more expansive HVAC system (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning). HVAC systems are used to control the temperature and often the humidity. Updating a HVAC system improves a home's comfort and value while lowering utility costs but does often come with a hefty price tag. Factors such as size, brand and model all contribute to the price of a HVAC system. The price of a new system can range from $ 750 to $ 3000. A new furnace will cost on average $ 1500. This price does not include any accoutrements or installation. When it's time to get a new central heating system or HVAC system, price is often a concern. It's important to do your homework so you understand what type of system you currently have and what you need to have implemented. Do not be afraid to ask questions and always get at least three quotations from notable contractors.

Although many modern gas central heating systems are reliable and efficient from time to time things can go wrong. As with other appliances in the home your boiler can break down and you should be aware of what to do and who to turn to if this happens.

Firstly, you should be fully aware that if your boiler breaks down you should NOT attempt any repairs yourself. It is actually against the law for any person who is not registered with Gas Safe scheme (formerly Corgi) to carry out any repairs, installation or servicing of any appliance connected to the gas supply. If you find yourself without central heating because of a boiler breakdown then contact a central heating installer or Gas Safe registered plumber who will be able to repair the unit or declare it as defunct.

If you are worried about the cost of boiler repairs, or even the cost of a new boiler if yours cannot be repaired then there are a number of insurance schemes on the market. Alternatively, when buying your new boiler shop around for a model with a guarantee. If you were to experience a breakdown during the guarantee period the unit will be repaired for free and replaced if it cannot be fixed.

Keep an eye on your boiler

Whilst you cannot carry out any repairs on your boiler you can carry out routine checks throughout the year to ensure it is in good working order. Keep you eye on the pressure gauge. Typically the pressure should be between 1.0 and 1.5 bar. If you see it dip below or rise above these levels contact a qualified engineer who can make some simple checks to correct the problem.

Also, look for the flame of the pilot light. You may be worried that your boiler has broken but if you cannot see the flame of the pilot light this will be the problem. A boiler cannot work if the pilot light is unlit. Many modern units allow the user to re-ignite the pilot light simply by pressing a button so check this before calling an engineer to your home. If you are unsure of how to ignite the pilot light you should consult the boilers instruction manual.

Before calling a heating engineer to your home you should also remember to check your gas supply. For example, if you have a gas oven try turning it on. If it does not heat up it is possible that the gas supply to your home is not connected. If this is the case you should contact your gas supplier, rather than a heating engineer. They will be able to diagnose why you have no gas to your home and will be able to reconnect it as quickly as possible.

If you can smell gas in your home it is possible you have a leak. In this instance you should immediately call Transco, who are employed to respond to gas leaks throughout the UK. Do not turn on or off any light switches, do not ignite any gas appliances and do not smoke. If possible you should vacate the house until Transco arrive.

Zentralheizungen sind eines der häufigeren Standard Heizsysteme in öffentlichen Gebäuden und Häusern verwendet. Diese Heizungen sind in der Regel in kälteren Klimazonen verwendet. Die Komponenten des Systems umfasst in der Regel eine Feuerungsanlage wie Wärmepumpe, Ofen oder Kessel in zentraler Lage.

Der Brennstoff für die Heizung kann Öl, Kohle, Strom, Erdgas oder anderen Brennstoffen. Die Zentraleinheit erwärmt Luft, Dampf oder Wasser und verteilt es in der gesamten Struktur. Einheiten in den abgelegenen Räumen wie Rohre, Rohrleitungen oder Heizkörper können Teil des Systems sein.

In größeren Gebäuden den Ofen oder Kessel in zentraler Lage, in der Regel ein Heizraum, Heizraum oder Maschinenraum befindet. Private Haushalten haben Keller Einheit oder Schrank bezeichnet den Heizraum. Wärmepumpen können innerhalb oder außerhalb des Hauses oder Gebäudes befinden. Sie werden manchmal auf dem Flachdach eines Gebäudes platziert.

Aus dem Ofen oder Kessel erfolgt Rohre oder Leitungen in alle Teile der Struktur. Wenn das System eine Umluft-Einheit ist, trägt die Kanalisierung die erwärmte Luft in die Räume. Einem Ventilator oder Gebläse wälzt die Luft durch die Kanäle und in die Räume. Oft ist die Menge der Wärme inmitten ein Raum oder Bereich thermostatgesteuert. In der Regel gibt es Filter oder Luftreiniger an das System angeschlossen, bläst oder Staub oder Schimmel in den Zimmern zu zwingen zu verhindern.

Wenn das System heißes Wasser verwendet, um die Wärmeübertragung, wird das Wasser erhitzt und durch Rohrleitungen zu den Zimmern geschickt wo gibt es Heizkörper. Die Heizkörper Wärme durch Konvektion anstatt Strahlungswärme. Heizkörper an Wänden platziert werden oder sie darf innerhalb der Etage, die Bodenoberfläche zu heizen. Wenn das Wetter heiß ist, kann die gleiche Verrohrung zur Klimaanlage Ergebnisse im gesamten Gebäude verteilen.

Wenn die Wärme durch Flüssigkeit zirkuliert, ist fast immer eine Pumpe, die Verteilung der Wärme in der gesamten Struktur auszugleichen. Eine Warmwasser-Heizsystem ist in der Regel mit heißem Wasser für den Haushalt kombiniert. Normalerweise gibt es ein sekundärer Wärmetauscher in einem Vorratsbehälter, damit der Haushalt mit heißem Wasser zum Baden und Speisen versorgt wird.

Die Platzierung der Heizkörper oder Lüftungsöffnungen ist wichtig für den optimalen Wirkungsgrad der Heizungsanlage. Neben Fenstern und in den Teil des Raumes, die kälteste ist, sollte der Heizkörper platziert werden. Wenn der Heizkörper in der Nähe der Fenster ist, wird Kondenswasser minimiert. Die Hitze in der Nähe des Fensters richtet die richtige Luftmenge, das Heizelement optimal zu nutzen. Entgegen der landläufigen Meinung leitet die Hitze vom Windows Niederlagen positive Luftströmungen, die für besten Wirkungsgrad erforderlich sind.

Die Erfindung von Zentralheizungen wird bei den alten Römern zugeschrieben. Ihr System der Luftkanäle wurde entwickelt, um Hot Luftkanäle in Privathäusern und öffentlichen Bädern bieten. Die neuere Systeme sind nicht so viel anders im Vertrieb, obwohl die Heizung-Methode heute ganz anders ist.
