Home Gas Appliances, Castleford, West Yorkshire
Gas Fires Castleford:
We install all manner of gas fires from the more traditional radiant convector (with pot radiants at the front) through the ILFE (realistic looking, set into the fireplace with coals) to the more exotic ‘Hole in the Wall’ and glass fronted Plasma type appliances usually associated with more contemporary homes.
Of course, you may want a period style cast iron Victorian/Edwardian model to enhance the era of your traditional property. All these and more can be installed to the room of your choice and a free no obligation visit will determine how and what would be feasible for your circumstances within the framework of gas safety legislation and manufacturer’s installation instructions.
No Chimney? No problem! We can advise and quote on the latest Flueless and Power flued fires. There is almost certainly an appliance that satisfies your requirements and overcomes any perceived obstacles.
All this and Gas Fast will fit your fireplace and surround taking care of any brickwork alteration and plastering (if necessary).
We can install your own appliance and surround or, we can supply and install from start to finish. It’s simply up to you.
Multi Point Water Heaters Castleford:
These are basically a combination boiler without the central heating component. Simple to install and maintain, they are extremely robust, reliable and economical. They meet the needs of a smaller property that just requires a constant supply of hot running water.
They are often used in flats or even fast food establishments where hot water only is required for kitchen use.
As the name suggests, they will supply hot water on demand to multiple hot water outlet points (washing machines, taps etc) and are particularly good at supplying showers with an excellent flow rate without the need for external pumps to boost the pressure.
These are ideal if you already have a central heating only boiler and want to add the hot water component without changing your boiler to a Combi or re configuring the pipe work to include a storage cylinder with automated valves and external controls. Superbly cost efficient and simplicity itself.
Cookers Castleford:
We install and test all new cookers. If it’s a one for one swap, there are usually no problems. However, always beware of pre-used appliances (of whatever category) unless you know its history. Experience has shown us that pre-used appliances are notoriously unreliable and sometimes downright dangerous. It is an odds on certainty that, (in the case of fires) some parts are missing. Even the coals should be complete. With cookers, either the glass lid does not operate the safety valve or the oven will not regulate. They should always come with the manufacturer’s instructions and have a new hose installed. But realistically, it is just not worth the risk of buying pre-used. Buy new, be safe, and have it installed by Gas Fast, The professionals.
Range cookers are growing in popularity with more burner rings and several ovens, all in one unit. However, the supply pipe work must be adequate to cope with the obvious greater demand for gas and here we can help also.
We also install hobs and associated pipe work and these have their own individual requirements.
As with all cookers, it is vital that the appliance is sited and installed correctly with adequate ventilation provided. Contact us at Gas Fast and let us advise you for free on the relevant requirements and provide you with your free quotation.
Gas Meter Relocation Castleford:
Fed up struggling under the sink with that great lump taking all the room up? Stressed out fumbling in that dark closet with your gas card in one hand and a torch with semi flat batteries in the other, whilst that Bear trap of an ironing board collapses on top of you as you retreat out backwards on your hands and knees? Come into the 21st century!
Gas Fast can move your meter outside, simple as! Why not contact us and do your knees a favour!
Power Flushing Castleford:
Without doubt, this is the single most important activity that affects the health, performance, efficiency and longevity of your boiler and the system attached thereto. It is so important that your boiler manufacturer can revoke any warranty that is given with regard to your new boiler simply if the system has not been flushed to the British Standard: B.S.7593. It is a requirement of installation that this must be done.
We have the plant necessary to carry this out, both to new and older existing systems that may not have been originally powerflushed and may now be under performing, noisy or overheating. We could actually save your boiler before eventual failure and thus save you hundreds of pounds.
It’s this simple really; Ask yourself this, if you could afford a new car and, on taking collection of your new pride and joy would you ask the mechanic to remove the old oil from your part exchange car and put it in your new pride and joy? Of course not! So why do some installers do the equivalent of this with their customer’s new boiler?
Because the vast majority don’t possess a power flushing machine!
The first sign of dirty system water flowing around a new boiler is usually the onset of continuously reducing hot tap temperatures (it is slowly blocking up inside and cannot transmit the heat to water) this will cause the boiler to overheat, thereby shortening it’s life and causing electronic sensors to fail and create severe stressing (warping) of the main heat exchanger. Eventually the hot water becomes so poor that you call the manufacturer out to solve it under your guarantee. A water sample is taken from a radiator and an on site chemical kit is used to determine the parts per million of particulates (dirt) in the system. This test could invalidate the warranty and this is the unvarnished truth.
Here at Gas Fast however, every existing radiator and pipe work installation is thoroughly powerflushed with our turbo machines using industry standard chemicals guaranteed! Only then is the new boiler connected and the whole (now perfectly clean) system filled and treated with inhibitors to ensure years and years of quality service. Don’t cut corners, do it right, choose Gas Fast the professionals.
