I served my apprenticeship in Paignton, Devon from 1966-1971 and stayed with the same company until 1973 before moving to London and getting married in 1974. We moved to Poole in Dorset in 1977 and our daughter was born in April of that year and in 1980, we moved back to Paignton and I worked for a plumbing and heating company as senior engineer until starting my own business in 1990 successfully running my business there until, in 2002, my wife and I divorced. Having met my current partner on the internet in 2003, I eventually decided to wind up my business there and move to her home town of Otley and starting Higgins Heating here in November 2005, so have now been established in Otley for 10 years.
We offer a full power flushing service using our own Sentinel Jetflush machine and also install Magnaclean system filters (all prices upon request). The benefit, especially in a combination boiler, is that proper maintenance such as this reduces the build up of sludge in the boiler and maintains far greater system efficiency and prolongs the useful life of the boiler.
It is most important that any pipe work, appliances and flues are regularly checked for gas safety. If a property is rented out, this is mandatory and needs to be renewed annually. Upon completion of a gas safety check, we issue the standard safety certificate.
Although we mainly install Viessmann boilers, we are happy to service all makes and models. Boiler servicing is an essential annual process if the efficiency, reliability and longevity of the equipment is to be maximised. This work normally takes around an hour and includes a flue gas analysis test, which will highlight any safety issues. A print out of this check is issued to the customer upon completion. If a Magnetic system filter is present, this is also removed and cleaned to ensure optimum efficiency.
