Boilers
- What is kettling?
Put simply, it's a term to describe a boiler making a noise it shouldn't. Your boiler should be seen and not heard. Amongst other tunes – boilers transcend genres – the noise can often sound like a boiling kettle, hence the term 'kettling'.
- What is a condensing boiler?
A condensing boiler is a high-efficiency boiler which runs at a lower temperature than older, traditional-style boilers. Condensing boilers are able to collect gas generated by burning fuels like gas and oil and use it to heat water entering the system, saving money and reducing carbon emissions in the process.

- How do I find out how old my boiler is?

- How often do I need to service my boiler?
The answer to this depends on how your boiler is used. It requires servicing annually, which for the vast majority of installations is fine.
If you have a boiler installed or used for an unusual application, which means the boiler is operating more than expected, it may require servicing more frequently. However, for normal use, annual servicing is sufficient.
