MOST CENTRAL HEATING PROBLEMS HAVE TWO POSSIBLE CAUSES

Cold radiators upstairs but warm downstairs? Could be air, could be system pressure. Noisy pipes? Could be expansion, could be a failing pump. System loses pressure overnight? Could be a tiny radiator leak, could be a failed expansion vessel inside the boiler. Most central heating problems have two or three likely causes — and most are easy to fix if you diagnose properly first.

EcoGas’s engineers carry the diagnostic kit to identify the actual cause: pressure testers, magnetic filter inspection, thermal imaging on radiator surfaces, pump testing equipment. We find what’s actually wrong before quoting — not guess and replace expensive components.

CENTRAL HEATING ISSUES WE FIX EVERY WEEK

Most are quick fixes once you know the real cause

COLD RADIATORS

One or more radiators cold while others work — usually balancing, air, or a TRV stuck closed.

LOSING PRESSURE

System needs topping up regularly — usually a slow leak somewhere, or a failed expansion vessel.

NOISY PIPES

Banging, ticking, gurgling — usually trapped air, expansion movement, or limescale build-up.

PARTIAL HEAT

Some radiators warm, some cold — classic balancing problem or sludge restricting flow.

NEVER GETS HOT

Whole system runs but never reaches set temperature — usually undersized boiler or a stuck mixing valve.

RADIATOR LEAKS

Pinhole leaks on radiators or visible drips from valves — repair or replace the affected component.

ECOGAS'S CENTRAL HEATING SERVICE

EMERGENCY REPAIRS

No heating at all, major system leak, pressure loss faster than you can top up — we dispatch fast and get the system working again, often same day.

PLANNED UPGRADES

Whole-system installations, radiator replacement, smart controls upgrade, balancing surveys — booked at your convenience with a fixed written quote.

WHAT PERTH SAYS ABOUT OUR HEATING WORK

Ross W. — Perth

Bedroom radiators were cold while downstairs was boiling. EcoGas balanced the whole system properly, replaced two stuck TRVs, flushed the cold radiators. Took three hours, fixed for years.

Stephanie H. — Perth

Full central heating upgrade — new pipework, new smart controls, replaced four radiators. EcoGas managed the whole project, kept the house warm with temporary heating during the install. Excellent work.

Tom F. — Perth

System kept losing pressure overnight. EcoGas found a pinhole leak on a heating pipe inside a kitchen cabinet. Tiny leak, but enough to drop pressure noticeably over a week. Properly fixed, no more topping up.

Una P. — Perth

Upgraded our old gravity-fed system to a fully pumped sealed system. EcoGas did the conversion in three days, immaculate work, system runs at full pressure now. Hot water and heating both transformed.

HOW IT WORKS

Same EcoGas process, every time

ON-SITE RESPONSE

FIND THE REAL FAULT

FIX IT PROPERLY

HEATING PROBLEMS GET WORSE EVERY WEEK YOU LEAVE THEM

A small leak becomes a system failure. A noisy pump fails completely. A balancing problem becomes a sludge problem. Catching it early saves real money.

CENTRAL HEATING FAQS

WHY ARE MY UPSTAIRS RADIATORS COLD WHEN DOWNSTAIRS IS HOT?
Three common causes: (1) Air trapped at the top of the system — bleeding the radiators usually fixes it. (2) System imbalance — flow has been favouring the easier downstairs route. (3) Stuck thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) keeping flow shut off. We diagnose which it is and rebalance the system properly so all radiators heat evenly.
Usually yes — it means water is escaping somewhere. Three common causes: (1) A slow leak from a radiator, valve or pipe joint; (2) A failed expansion vessel inside the boiler; (3) A faulty pressure release valve venting outside. The longer it goes on, the more risk of damage to the boiler and surrounding structure. We can diagnose and fix in one visit in most cases.
Common causes: trapped air (gurgling when first turning on), thermal expansion (ticking sounds as pipes warm up — usually benign), sludge build-up (banging, kettling, restricted flow), or limescale on the heat exchanger (high-pitched whistling). We diagnose using thermal imaging on radiator surfaces and a magnetic filter check on the return.
Yes — Nest, Hive, Tado, Honeywell, Drayton — all the major smart thermostat brands. We can either retrofit smart controls to an existing system or include them as part of a wider heating upgrade. Smart controls typically pay back through energy savings within 1–2 years.
Open-vented (gravity-fed) systems use a header tank in the loft and rely on gravity for some circulation. Older system, lower pressure, less efficient. Sealed (pressurised) systems are closed loops at higher pressure with no header tank — more efficient, faster response, smaller pipework needed. Most modern installs are sealed. We can upgrade an open-vented system to sealed as part of a wider replacement.
A full system replacement (boiler, pipework, radiators, controls) typically costs £4,500–£9,000 depending on home size, complexity and brand choice. We provide a detailed written quote after a free survey — quote breaks down each component so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.
