What Affects Heating Costs
Property type & heat-loss level
Open-plan layouts lose heat faster. Guardian calculates new BTU requirements and designs tailored radiator or UFH circuits.
System type
Combi systems cost less upfront; system boilers suit larger homes with higher demand.
Zoning & control
Smart thermostats and TRVs save 10–15 % on bills by managing zones efficiently.
Labour & access
Older homes with solid floors or tight voids require additional installation time.
Zoning & control
All works follow Building Regulations Part L, and every boiler installation is Gas Safe-notified to Building Control.
