FAQs
What is included in a “seamless” heating and air-conditioning installation?
A seamless installation means we handle every stage—from removing old equipment and preparing pipework/ducting to fitting the new boiler, heat pump, or AC unit, calibrating the thermostat, and disposing of waste—without you needing separate trades. We liaise with Bristol City Council if planning permission or parking suspensions are required, follow Part L Building Regulations for energy efficiency, and register the system with Gas Safe or REFCOM before issuing your compliance certificate.
How can upgrading my thermostat improve energy efficiency and comfort?
Modern programmable or smart thermostats learn your routine, modulate boiler or heat-pump output, and give zoned control, reducing energy use by up to 20 %. You can set schedules from your phone, enable geofencing so heating or cooling only runs when someone is home, and view real-time consumption data to spot wastage. In Bristol’s mild climate, accurate setback temperatures prevent overheating in spring and autumn, saving money while keeping rooms comfortable.
Can I add a smart thermostat to my existing HVAC system, or do I need new equipment?
In most Bristol homes the existing combi boiler, system boiler, or split-system AC can accept a smart thermostat. We simply replace the old room stat or programmer, connect the new stat’s low-voltage terminals, and add a wireless receiver at the boiler or air-handler. If you have an older gravity-fed or 2-wire system, we can install a common-wire adapter or upgrade the controls centre. Only very old non-modulating boilers may benefit more from a full replacement, which we can quote for at the same visit.
How long will the installation or thermostat upgrade take, and will my home be disrupted?
A straightforward thermostat swap usually takes 1–2 hours; a full heating and cooling installation averages 1–2 days for a boiler/AC change-out or 3–5 days when pipework or ducts are being rerouted. We protect floors with drop cloths, keep tools in dust-free mats, and restore heating or cooling at the end of each day so you are never left without comfort overnight. Most Bristol terraced homes need no wall chasing because we use existing cable runs and condensate routes.
Are there local incentives or grants for HVAC or thermostat upgrades in Bristol?
Yes. Residents may qualify for the ECO4 scheme for boiler replacements, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (£5,000 toward air-source heat pumps), and supplier rebates like Octopus Energy’s £50 smart-thermostat credit. Bristol City Council’s Warm Up Grants can cover up to £2,000 for low-income households improving heating controls. We guide you through eligibility, gather proof of address and EPC ratings, and submit the paperwork on your behalf so you claim every penny available.
What maintenance is required after installation to keep my system running efficiently?
We recommend an annual Gas Safe boiler service or F-gas AC check, including combustion analysis, refrigerant pressure tests, and filter cleaning. Smart thermostats automatically update firmware, but you should replace AA/AAA batteries (if fitted) every 18–24 months and verify Wi-Fi connectivity. Vacuum registers, keep external heat-pump units clear of leaves common to Bristol’s tree-lined streets, and book a power-flush every 5–7 years to remove sludge that can raise fuel bills by 15 %.
