Don't Just Heat Your Home, Heat It Smart: The Preferred Gas Efficiency Advantage

You might be thinking, "My heating seems to be working fine." But even seemingly functional systems can harbour hidden inefficiencies.

A Preferred Gas heating efficiency test goes beyond a simple check; it's a thorough investigation conducted by our experienced and Gas Safe registered engineers. We use advanced diagnostic tools to assess your entire system, from boiler performance to heat distribution, identifying areas where improvements can be made.

Pinpointing Energy Waste: Our Durham Heating Efficiency Testing Process

Our meticulous testing process includes:

  • Boiler Performance Analysis: We evaluate your boiler's efficiency, checking its combustion rate and identifying any signs of wear and tear that could be impacting its performance.
  • Radiator Heat Output Assessment: We measure the heat output of each radiator to identify cold spots and imbalances within your system.
  • Pipework Insulation Inspection: We check for poorly insulated or uninsulated pipework, a common source of heat loss, especially in older homes.
  • Control System Evaluation: We assess the effectiveness of your thermostats and heating controls, ensuring they are properly regulating your heating and preventing unnecessary energy consumption.
  • Flue Inspection: A thorough flue inspection to ensure proper and safe ventilation.
