RADIATOR - As the most visible part of your central heating system, Carbon Solutions Ltd recognizes that choice of radiators is important. We can not only make sure that the radiators are the correct size for your room but also advise on a range of shapes that meet both your style and budget needs. POWER FLUSHING - Untreated, the water in radiators (the primary water) will rust and damage the radiators from the inside out. This causes sludge and debris build up which in turn reduces or stops the heat circulating and makes your heating more inefficient. There are several steps that can be taken to resolve this problem. CHEMICAL FLUSH – we will introduce a chemical into your system and leave it to work for several days before draining the system down and refilling it using a suitable inhibitor to stop further degradation. MAGNACLEAN – this can be attached to your system to eliminate the iron oxide particles. This will lengthen the life of your system and increase your boilers efficiency. The process removes accumulated corrosion deposits and sludge in the system which can affect the performance and efficiency of your boiler. As a further measure we also use a powerful magnetic filter connected in line with the power flushing pump to remove circulating black iron oxide contamination from the flushing water quickly and simply. Power flushing can be carried out on most types of heating systems to prolong the life of your boiler and system. Power flushing will also improve system efficiency and could save you up to 6% on your heating bill**Independent research carried out by GASTEC at CRE BOILERS - Most homes in the UK have Gas Central Heating. This is where a Gas Boiler heats water to provide heating through radiators and hot water through taps in your home. Central Heating Systems consist of the Boiler, associated header tanks, hot water cisterns and the pipe work that feeds the hot water and radiators. The system will also have some controls, pumps and valves. If you have an older boiler, it may be that you can save money by replacing your boiler, as new boilers have to be ‘Condensing boilers’. These new boilers typically achieve greater than 90% efficiency by condensing the water vapour in the exhaust gases and therefore recover some latent heat that otherwise would have been wasted. Carbon Solutions Ltd are trained installers with many boiler manufactures, which means we have a high level of experience and training with central heating boilers within most propertys; we are also able to effectively install any make of boiler and components, should you wish to have a particular brand of boiler or if the situation of your home or boiler demands it. RADIATORS - Carbon Solutions Ltd can install both designer and standard radiators. We also recommend installing Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs) if you don’t already have them, as these ensure each radiator can be controlled to the desired temperature, thereby saving you money and making your heating more efficient. PUMPS, VALVES AND PRESSURE VESSELS - These technical parts of your system are in fact just as important as the Boiler and Radiators, although they get less attention. Carbon Solutions Ltd engineers will be able to specify and install the appropriate components that you need for your home. CONTROLS - We can install basic Mechanical Timers for you to control your system. However, a programmable thermostat which allows you to set the temperature and water demands for each day of the week is a very popular option. Furthermore, we also install Nest, Hive and Worcester Wave controls (plus more). The smart thermostat allows you to control your heating from your phone or other device, anywhere in the world. Interestingly, the Nest system can also be linked to Carbon Monoxide detectors and even web cams. WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE AN OFTEC REGISTERED TECHNICIAN? If you are not connected to the main gas grid, you will use an alternate energy source for your central heating, such as oil. There are different aspects involved in an Oil System rather than a Gas Central Heating system, as you store the fuel on site in an Oil Tank. As with Gas Boilers, Oil boilers and heating oil tanks need to be serviced annually to ensure that they are running efficiently and last as long as they should. Oil Boilers are now very efficient and can be combined with Electronic Timers and thermostats to ensure you get the most out of your oil. Our Oil Engineers are trained to a high level and accredited by OFTEC, which is the Oil Fired Heating Association. If you do not have a combination boiler you will have a Hot Water Cylinder in your house. There are two main types of hot water cylinders: Carbon Solutions Ltd can advise you on the correct size of cylinder for your hot water requirements and can supply and fit all of these systems. WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE AN OFTEC REGISTERED TECHNICIAN? Whether you are selecting a technician to give your oil boiler, cooker or stove its annual service, or planning a much bigger project – a home extension or conversion of your heating to run on oil – you will want to ensure that you employ the best person for the job. You need an experienced technician who has been trained on modern, high-efficiency appliances, who can give you sound advice when necessary, and whom you can trust to carry out the work properly. In short, you need an OFTEC Registered technician. There’s a simple way to avoid the risk of falling victim to a ‘cowboy’ operator. Before you ask a technician to call, enquire if he or she is OFTEC Registered (and if not, why not?) OFTEC REGISTERED TECHNICIANS: It is a legal requirement that all gas appliances such as gas fires, hobs, boilers, ovens and grills are installed by a Gas Safe accredited (formerly CORGI) engineer. The Gas Safe Register is the official gas registration body for the United Kingdom, Isle of Man and Guernsey, appointed by the relevant Health and Safety Authority for each area. By law all gas engineers must be on the Gas Safe Register. Gas Safe Register replaced CORGI as the gas registration body in Great Britain and Isle of Man on 1 April 2009 and Northern Ireland and Guernsey on 1 April 2010. Gas Safe Registered installers have to meet a specific level of training / qualification in a before they are accepted on to the Gas Safe Register. Gas engineers often have a range of qualifications allowing them to carry out specific types of gas work. The training and assessments that registered gas installers have are not only about the technical know-how of specific appliances but also about safety. All assessments have to be renewed every five years in order to keep installers up to date with ever-changing standards and regulations and to keep their knowledge fresh. It is not only illegal for people to work with gas unless they are Gas Safe Registered, it is also highly dangerous. Statistics demonstrate that a significant proportion of gas work carried out by people who are not registered with Gas Safe is incorrect and therefore potentially unsafe, risking the safety of your family and property. Badly fitted and poorly serviced gas appliances can cause gas leaks, fires, explosions and carbon monoxide poisoning. If you need gas installation or maintenance work, make sure that you employ a Gas Safe Registered Installer with the appropriate training and credentials. Gas Safe Registered Installers will make sure that your appliances meet all gas safety and building regulations and that you have the necessary documentation you may need to sell your house in the future. It is important to check what work a gas engineer is qualified to do before you use them. If you are unsure whether your installer has the appropriate registration to handle your work, ask to see their ID card and check the details on the reverse. In order to protect the general public, Gas Safe Registered Installers are: For more information about Gas Safe or to check whether an engineer is Gas Safe registered, click here.Boiler Servicing Chichester & West Sussex

Advice
PowerFlush – for more serious build up a machine is attached to your system, as well as the introduction of a chemical, which sends high pressure water around the system to break down any debris. Powerflushing can be very useful and could greatly benefit your heating system in a number of ways.
There is no need for us to remove any radiators – the flushing machine is simply connected to a suitable point in your system and circulates a cleaning chemical mixed with water at a high velocity – but at a low pressure to ensure there is no physical damage caused to the system. The chemical helps dissolve sludge into a solution which is then flushed out of the system with fresh water.
Why not give us a call on 07917 696528 or email us at info@carbon-solutions.co.uk to arrange for us to carry out a simple check to see if your heating system would benefit from a power flush.Oil
