Houghton Regis grew quickly in the 1960s and 1970s, and many homes from that period are on their second heating system, or still on their first. Pipework and radiators of that age usually benefit from a flush and new valves when the boiler is replaced.
The newer developments have modern boilers under manufacturer warranty. There the work is usually an addition, not a replacement: an extra radiator, an outside tap or a smarter thermostat.
Older home or new build: what usually needs doing
A general guide by age of property.
| Home | Typical heating | Typical work |
|---|---|---|
| 1960s to 1970s | A regular boiler with a cylinder, sometimes a back boiler behind the fire. | Boiler replacement, a system flush and new controls. |
| 1980s to 2000s | An early combi or system boiler. | Replacement at the end of its life, thermostatic valves and a magnetic filter. |
| New build | A modern boiler under warranty. | The annual service the warranty asks for, plus additions such as radiators and outside taps. |
