Called around a few local options only to be abruptly told "no thanks, too busy". These guys were polite, set clear expectations on availability and turned up on time. Job was completed quickly and at a reasonable cost.

So impressed with the service and how quick he was able to come round and fix our issue with the boiler especially in this cold weather... like a guardian angel at short notice. Winston is a lovely guy who was so professional and efficient and managed to fix the problem we had and gave us great advice! Definitely highly recommended.

I cannot recommend Winston and the team at Avenue Heating enough. They’ve just completed an extensive upgrade to our hot water and heating system; they provided an absolutely first class service at a very competitive price (they were the cheapest of 3 quotes and came in under budget). They’re also incredibly professional, honest, easy to deal with and great with communication. We’re absolutely delighted with the end result and I have subsequently used Winston to manage an electrical re-wire which was competed professionally and to the usual high standard. I would absolutely no hesitation in recommending Avenue Heating

I had Avenue Heating out today for a straight forward boiler check up. They have take great lengths to ensure they are Covid secure, Full PPE was used, which I am sure will give comfort to those with Covid concerns. The technician was friendly and was happy to engage in conversation throughout. The boiler area was left tidy and the work was completed quickly. Professional service, definitely would recommend.

We have had a new boiler, then given very professional advice on what we need to improve our heating system in an old house. Have cleaned the system and removed the gunge. Helped us out at short notice with repiping work when our kitchen was being redone. Winston and Ben are great. Thank you for assisting us in our hour of need.

Ben and Naz came on time, were clean and polite, very helpful and explained the work they did to our boiler. There was no sucking of air through teeth or 'this is going to cost', just an honest review and maintenance of our system. Such a pleasure to do business.

ST ALBANS, UK

St Albans is a cathedral city in Hertfordshire, England located at the east of Hemel Hempstead and west of Hatfield, 20 miles (32 km) north-west of London. St. Albans, which later became the Roman city of Verulamium, was the first significant settlement for travelers traveling north on the ancient Roman Watling Street. It is located in the Greater London Built-up Area and the commuter belt of London.

St Albans‘ numerous historic inns can be attributed to its past as a small rural market town, a Christian pilgrimage place, and the first coaching stop on the route to and from London. Small and lacking in industry, St. Albans was in the Victorian era.

WHAT KIND OF BOILER DO I NEED?

COMBINATION BOILERS IN ST ALBANS

A Combi boiler provides an unlimited, instant hot water supply, in addition to your central heating needs.

Combi boilers are fantastic for smaller properties, such as flats or small houseshomes, where space is at a premium. A combination boiler is very energy efficient and cost-effective as water is only heated when you needit and not heated and stored.

The disadvantage to combination boilers is that when there are more than two taps being used at the same time, there is a noticeable difference in the flow rate of the hot water as the water comes directly from the mains water supply. 

SYSTEM BOILERS IN ST ALBANS

This boiler only acts as a heat source, this can either be used to heat your radiators or under-floor heating or to heat the water in your hot water cylinder.

They are similar to conventional boilers, with the difference being that they contain other components, such as a central heating pump, pressure relief valve, and expansion vessel.

System boilers, similar to combination boilers, are installed as part of a “sealed” system, meaning, if also fitted with an unvented cylinder, there are no need for any tanks in your loft.

CONVENTIONAL BOILERS IN ST ALBANS

A Conventional boiler also acts only as a heat source, as with system boilers, however, they have no additional components in them.

They are often installed in a ‘classic’ type of heating system, where there may be a cylinder, along with pumps to boost water pressure to baths and showers.

These types of boilers are best for older heating systems, where increased pressures used in a ‘sealed’ system may cause issues with leaks etc.
