Thinking about moving the boiler? Read this before anyone lifts a drill. 🔧

It's one of the most popular jobs going. Kitchens get refitted, cupboards get built around old boiler positions, and the boiler ends up needing a new home. Done properly, it's straightforward. Done badly, it's a gas pipe problem hiding behind plasterboard.

Here's what a proper relocation actually involves:

✅ The new position surveyed first: flue route, access and clearances all checked before any drilling
✅ Gas pipework checked and, if needed, upgraded in size. A longer run can starve the boiler
✅ System drained, old pipework capped neatly, flue and condensate rerouted to current regs
✅ Commissioned and tested like a fresh install, with water quality checked and inhibitor added

And the honest part: sometimes the boiler is old enough that relocating it isn't worth the pipework cost. If a replacement makes more sense, we'll say so. Genuine recommendation, not a bigger job.

Based in Huddersfield, covering West Yorkshire. Gas Safe registered, 15+ years of experience, fixed quotes with no hidden extras.

January's gas bill is already taking shape. Here's the part you can actually control.

Ofgem's price cap has already pushed the typical annual gas bill from about £722 to £865. Cornwall Insight now forecasts the cap rising a further 16% in January, which would take it to around £1,040 a year, roughly £318 more than a year ago. Nobody can change that number. But how much gas your home burns? That's yours.

The proof households are reacting: tado° just released data from 5.6 million smart thermostats showing use of energy-saving features jumped 21% in October compared with the year before. In the 2022 energy crisis, 80% of UK households turned their thermostats down by about 1°C on average, saving around £90 a year. When bills bite, people act.

Five moves that genuinely cut the bill:
1. Service the boiler. A well-maintained A-rated boiler burns less gas for the same heat.
2. Fit smart heating controls. Heat the rooms you use, at the times you use them.
3. Turn the thermostat down 1°C. Around £90 a year for barely noticing a difference.
4. Fix uneven radiators. Bleed the cold ones, balance the system.
5. Draught-proof the doors and close curtains at dusk. Stop paying to heat the street.

Small print: figures from tado° data published 10 November 2026, Ofgem's October price cap and Cornwall Insight's September forecast. Forecasts can change with the wholesale market.

If your boiler hasn't been serviced in the last 12 months, that's the first move on the list, and the easiest one to tick off. Free quotes, honest advice, no pressure.

"One day for the boiler" usually means one day of chaos. Ours doesn't. Here's install day, hour by hour.

7:30am: we arrive. Dust sheets down, floors protected, kettle location noted.

Morning: the old boiler comes out and the new pipework goes in. If the gas line or the supply needs upgrading, it happens now, not as a surprise extra.

Midday: the new boiler goes up. System filled, flushed and treated so the warranty's protected from day one.

Afternoon: commissioning to the manual. Gas Safe checks, combustion tested, magnetic filter fitted. The boring paperwork that makes a 10-year warranty real.

Evening: heating and hot water demoed with you, controls explained until they're not confusing, and the heating back on before it gets dark.

One day. One engineer team. The house is warm by dinner.

Every install starts with a free survey and a fixed, itemised price before we touch a spanner. Huddersfield and West Yorkshire, 15+ years.

Ask us about install day. No pressure, straight answers.

Good for groups 👉 anyone in your group dreading the "how long will we be without heating?" question will want this one.

Bleeding a radiator and it's still cold at the bottom? That's not air. That's sludge.

This time of year the heating kicks back in and every weak radiator shows itself. Here's how to read yours:

🔺 Cold at the TOP = trapped air. Bleed it with a radiator key until water runs clear. Job done.

🔻 Cold at the BOTTOM = sludge build-up. Bleeding won't fix this one. The system needs a proper clean.

Other signs your system is struggling:
• Radiators needing bleeding again and again
• Boiler kettling or loud gurgling
• Radiators slow to heat up
• Dirty, blackish water when you bleed

The fix is powerflushing: a machine pushes cleaning solution through the system at high flow, flushing the sludge out. Quieter boiler. Radiators hot top to bottom. Less gas wasted heating sludge instead of the room.

But here's the honest part: not every system needs one. We test first, and if your radiators just need bleeding or a TRV, we'll tell you. No powerflush sold where it isn't needed.

Radiators not pulling their weight? Get a free quote and we'll tell you straight.

Ever thought about air con as a selling point, not just a summer luxury?

The research says it's moving that way. Rightmove found searches for homes with air conditioning jumped 104% this summer compared with 2025, and 61% of adults would consider installing it. Hotter summers are quietly changing what buyers look for, and a home that stays cool on a heatwave day is starting to matter in the same way parking or a garage does.

A quick, honest read on it:

- Cooling is becoming a listed feature buyers filter for
- Buyers see it as future-proofing the home, not a gimmick
- One system heats in winter and cools in summer, so it earns its keep all year
- If you're selling, keep the installation paperwork and warranty handy for viewings
- An energy-efficient inverter system reads as a selling point, not a running cost

Worth being straight with you here: nobody's promising air con adds tens of thousands to your house price. What the evidence shows is growing buyer demand and desirability, and that matters when two similar homes are side by side on Rightmove.

If you're thinking of selling in 2027 and want a fixed quote before the photos are taken, we'll give you honest advice on whether your home is a good fit. Free quotes, no pressure.

From 30 November, a cold home becomes a legal emergency. If you rent property out, this is the change you need to know about.

Awaab's Law Phase 2 arrives on 30 November 2026. It sets strict new timescales for social landlords to investigate and fix serious hazards, and excess cold is one of the headline additions. A heating breakdown in winter is no longer something that can sit on a to-do list.

Swipe to see what changes →

The rules in brief:
1. Emergency hazards must be made safe within 24 hours of the landlord becoming aware.
2. Significant hazards must be investigated within 10 working days, with a written summary of findings within 3 working days of the investigation closing.
3. Safety work must be completed within 5 working days of the investigation.

Where we come in:
✔ Annual boiler servicing keeps systems running safely and efficiently through winter.
✔ Landlord Gas Safety Certificates done properly, on time, every year.
✔ Rapid breakdown response when a tenant reports a heating failure.
✔ Honest fixed quotes, no hidden costs.

The deadline is 30 November. Beat it by getting your servicing and certificates booked now, before the winter rush.

Call Paul's team on 07910 367980 for a free quote or to book your annual service. Honest advice, no pressure.

Small print: Figures reflect Awaab's Law Phase 2 guidance published for social landlords, in force from 30 November 2026. Rules currently apply to social tenancies; check the latest government guidance for your property type.

🌹 Some moments in history should never be forgotten.

At 11am on 11 November 1918, the fighting on the Western Front ceased, bringing an end to more than four years of devastating conflict.

Today, as we mark Armistice Day, we take two minutes to reflect on the lives lost, the bravery of those who served and the lasting impact of war on families across the country.

From everyone at Baxter’s Heating, we pay our respects to all who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Lest We Forget.

The heating's on more, the bills are climbing, and the lounge is where everyone actually lives. Here's the December-proof maths most people haven't done yet.

Central heating pays to warm the whole house. Every radiator, every room, every hour. But in the evening you're using one room, maybe two.

AC heating mode works the other way round:

• It warms the room you're actually in, in minutes, not the whole house first.
• It moves heat rather than making it, which is why it's one of the most efficient ways to heat a single room.
• Set the whole-house heating lower in the evening and let the AC carry the lounge. Same comfort, less gas burned.

Fitted in a day. One tidy wall unit, one neat conduit outside, no radiators moved, no floors up.

Honest bit: if your house is warm enough as it is, don't spend the money. But if one room is dragging the whole bill up, this is the fix worth pricing.

A boiler that's a year old this month doesn't feel like it needs anything. It works, it's quiet, you've stopped noticing it. That's exactly the right time to service it.

Here's why the anniversary matters:

🔧 The warranty. Most manufacturer warranties, including those 10-year ones, require an annual service. Skip one year and a claim later can get complicated. The service certificate is your proof.

🔧 Catch the small stuff. A service is one hour where we check the burner, seals and flue, test gas pressure and combustion, and spot the slow leaks and tired parts before they become a January breakdown call.

🔧 Your bills. A boiler that's running clean burns less gas for the same heat. That's the whole trade: one hour a year, cheaper all winter.

It's also the easiest time to book. November diaries fill fast with breakdowns the moment the first hard frost lands.

Book the annual service before the rush, and get the certificate in the drawer before winter properly starts.

The install was three weeks ago. The boiler's running fine. So what's left to say? Plenty, because the first month is where most people quietly go wrong.

Here's the short version:

✅ Week one: it's normal for a new system to need a pressure nudge as air works its way out. Check the gauge, top up to around 1.2 bar if it dips.

✅ Set the flow temperature properly. Lots of new boilers run hotter than they need to out of the box. A small adjustment can trim running costs without anyone noticing a difference in comfort.

✅ Learn where the filling loop is now, not during a January breakdown with the pressure light flashing.

✅ Book the first annual service. On a new boiler it's what keeps the warranty intact, and it's where small faults get caught while they're still small.

Every install we do comes with a proper handover: heating and hot water demoed with you, controls explained until they're not confusing, and paperwork in hand so the warranty is watertight.

New boiler this year and not sure it was set up right? Ask us. Free advice, no pressure.
