Central Heating Specialists

FCP will supply and install a Central Heating System designed to your needs.

A conventional system has two water tanks in the loft, a large ‘cold water storage tank’ and small ‘feed and expansion tank’.

The ‘cold water storage tank’ draws water from the cold water mains to refill. Water from the storage tank feeds cold water down to the cylinder (normally in the airing cupboard).

The central heating boiler will heat the cylinder and convert cold water to hot; this then enables the cylinder to release gallons of hot water to taps throughout the house.

The ‘feed and expansion tank’ is usually smaller and maintains the correct level of water in the heating system. It also allows for expansion of the water in the radiators and pipework when it gets hot.

A real benefit of this system is that showers, taps and running baths can be drawn in any room at the same time; not all systems can do that. If the cylinder does run out of hot water it will have a fast recovery rate of 25 to 30 minutes (with a new boiler and cylinder).

Central Heating Controls:

All central heating systems must have the correct type of controls in order to make the boiler, cylinder and radiators run as efficiently as possible whilst giving you the hot water and heating that you need when you need it. We can install a full range of controls designed to meet your needs.
