Control equipment
The main suppliers that are stocked are Honeywell, Danfoss, ACL Drayton, Potterton, Siemens and Sunvic, please contact us for specific items.
Pumps
We stock the two main types of domestic heating pumps from Grundfos – the UPS15/50 and 15/60. Bronze variants and other sizes are normally available for next day delivery.
Boilers
This is a huge category to try and cover, so here is just a small example of the types of gas boilers available. Most are available for next day delivery, so please ask for any advice.
This is probably our most popular range of boilers. Be it combination, open vent or system variants, various size options are available and come with either a one, two or three year warranty.
Over the past five years we have sold consistently more Vaillant than any of the other manufacturers and with fewer reported breakdowns. There are always boiler engineers who have their own preferences, but sales sometimes speak louder than passions! So if asked we could well be recommending one of these.
Outputs range from 23kW to 37kW in the combination range, with hot water flow rates between 9.4 l/min and 15.2 l/min (see chart below).

This manufacturer is part of the same group of companies as Vaillant. It offers some boilers of a smaller physical size but with a similar output.
This is one of the best-known names in boilers and has been a market leader in past years. In our view it has been slightly off the ball in recent times, but is addressing the problems that have been featured on television. Many installers will recommend these.
In their own words “Worcester is dedicated to delivering heating comfort for homeowners”. It has one of the most extensive ranges of products, spanning domestic to industrial, and is at the leading edge of the environmental alternatives being offered today. Its renewable energy products include Greenstar condensing boilers, Greenskies solar water heating and Greenstore ground source heat pumps. How green do you want to be?
We can also supply boilers from alternative manufacturers including Alpha, Baxi, Halstead, Ideal, Keston, Main and Saunier-Duval. For more information please check their websites.
Gas fires
We are able to offer decorative and conventional gas fires from several suppliers. Robinson Willey, Wonderfire, Valor and Flavel are readily available for next day delivery.
Water treatments
We stock the two main central heating treatments on offer. Both Fernox and Sentinel have treatments for conventional and sealed systems. There are other generic variants around (possibly cheaper) whose ‘pedigree’ may not be as well proven. We know what the professions ask for and that’s why we stock them.
MgnaClean is one of the latest tools for maintaining and improving the performance of the central heating system in a house. It is place into the flow pipe work of the system and it works by capturing the ferrous oxide (black water) that is suspended in the water and collects it by passing it over a magnet; it then is removed by isolating the collection cartridge and removing the ferrous “sludge”.
