Types of Heating Systems We Install at Thurgood Plumbing & HVAC
Selecting the right type of heating system for your home is crucial to ensuring efficient and consistent indoor comfort during colder months. At Thurgood Plumbing & HVAC, we specialize in installing a variety of boilers designed specifically for home heating. Here’s an overview of the boiler types we offer, tailored to meet the diverse heating needs of households in Clearfield:
Combi Boilers
Ideal for Small to Medium Homes: Combi boilers are an excellent choice for homes with limited space and moderate heating needs. These compact units are highly efficient, as they provide heat on demand without the need for a separate hot water storage tank. By heating water directly from the main water line when the heat is turned on, combi boilers eliminate the need for a hot water tank, saving space and reducing heat loss. This makes combi boilers an energy-efficient option for smaller homes that do not require simultaneous heating and hot water usage.
System Boilers
Suited for Larger Homes with High Heating Demand: System boilers are ideal for larger homes with multiple heating zones. Unlike combi boilers, system boilers work on the principle of storing hot water in a cylinder, allowing you to use multiple heating sources simultaneously without a drop in temperature. If you’re experiencing uneven heat distribution, our furnace repair services can help diagnose and resolve any issues with your current system.
Conventional Boilers
Great for Large Households with Extensive Heating Systems: Conventional boilers, also known as regular or traditional boilers, are suitable for large homes with a traditional central heating system. These boilers require both a hot water storage tank and a cold water tank, which usually resides in the loft. They are capable of providing heating and hot water to multiple taps and radiators without affecting pressure, making them ideal for homes with high simultaneous water and heating demands.
Each type of heating system has its distinct advantages and is compatible with different home configurations. At Thurgood Plumbing & HVAC, we assist you in selecting the most suitable boiler type based on your specific heating requirements. We also ensure professional installation and ongoing support to maximize the efficiency and lifespan of your heating system. Whether you’re upgrading your existing boiler or installing a new system, our experts are committed to providing you with the best possible heating solutions tailored to both your immediate needs and future comfort.
Boiler Expansion Tank Installation
Boiler expansion tank installation involves fitting a small tank connected to your boiler system that helps regulate pressure caused by the natural expansion and contraction of water as it heats and cools. In a closed heating system, when water heats up, it expands and increases pressure within the boiler. The expansion tank absorbs this extra water volume, preventing excessive pressure buildup, which could otherwise damage the boiler, pipes, or valves. Installing an expansion tank is essential for maintaining system efficiency and prolonging the lifespan of your boiler by preventing pressure-related issues. It is typically mounted near the boiler, either directly above or alongside it, and must be installed correctly by a professional to ensure proper functioning and safety.
Our Detailed Boiler Installation Process
We understand that installing a new boiler is a significant investment in your home’s comfort and efficiency. That’s why we’ve developed a meticulous installation process that ensures each system is tailored to the specific needs of your household and installed with the highest standards of professionalism and care. Here’s how we do it:
1. Consultation and Assessment

This includes understanding the layout of your property, evaluating your current heating system, and discussing your heating needs and expectations.

This personalized consultation ensures that the boiler we recommend will be the most efficient and cost-effective solution for your home.

Cost Considerations for Investing in a New Boiler System
Investing in a new boiler is a significant decision that impacts not only your comfort but also your household budget. At Thurgood Plumbing & HVAC, we understand the importance of making this investment manageable and transparent. Here’s what you need to know about the cost considerations when choosing a new boiler:
Transparent Pricing
No Surprises: We believe in complete transparency when it comes to the costs associated with installing a new boiler. Before any work begins, we provide a detailed written quote that outlines all expenses, including the cost of the boiler, installation labor, any necessary modifications to your existing system, and the disposal of your old unit. This approach ensures that there are no surprises, allowing you to make informed financial decisions.
Long-Term Savings
Energy Efficiency Equals Cost Efficiency: Modern boilers are significantly more energy-efficient than older models, which means they consume less fuel to heat your home. This efficiency can translate into considerable savings on your energy bills over the lifespan of the boiler. Additionally, newer boilers are often equipped with advanced features like modulating burners and smart thermostats that help in optimizing heating performance and further reducing operational costs.
Financing Options
Flexible Payment Solutions: We understand that the upfront cost of a new boiler can be daunting. To help make this essential home improvement more accessible, we offer a variety of financing options. These flexible solutions allow you to spread the cost of the new boiler over time, making it easier to manage your budget without compromising on the quality of your home heating system.
Government Rebates and Incentives
Take Advantage of Savings: Depending on your location and the type of boiler you choose, you may be eligible for government rebates or tax incentives for installing energy-efficient home heating solutions. These programs can significantly lower the net cost of a new boiler installation. Our team can help you understand which incentives are available in Clearfield and assist with the necessary paperwork to ensure you receive any eligible rebates.
Cost vs. Value
Investment in Comfort and Property Value: While the initial cost of a boiler installation may seem high, it’s important to consider the value it adds not only in terms of comfort and energy savings but also in increasing your property’s appeal and market value. A new, efficient heating system is a strong selling point should you decide to sell your home in the future.

DIY Tips for Maintaining Your Boiler
Maintaining your home’s boiler is crucial for ensuring it operates efficiently and safely throughout its lifespan. We believe in empowering our clients with the knowledge they need to take proactive steps in the upkeep of their heating systems. Here are some practical DIY tips for maintaining your boiler, which can help you extend its life and optimize its performance:
Regular Pressure Checks
Monitoring for Optimal Performance: It’s important to regularly check the pressure gauge on your boiler to ensure it remains within the recommended range. A drop in pressure could indicate a leak or other issue, while too high pressure may put unnecessary strain on your boiler and its components. If you notice the pressure is too low, you may need to repressurize your boiler system. This can often be done simply by following the manufacturer’s instructions for using the filling loop. However, if you’re unsure or uncomfortable performing this task, it’s wise to contact a professional.
Annual Professional Servicing
Essential for Safety and Efficiency: Just like a car, a boiler needs regular servicing to ensure it’s running safely and efficiently. We highly recommend having your boiler serviced annually by a certified professional. During a service visit, a technician will clean the boiler components, check for wear and tear, ensure the system is sealed properly, and perform any necessary repairs or adjustments. This not only helps maintain the efficiency of your boiler and reduce your energy bills but also prevents potential safety issues, such as carbon monoxide leaks.
These maintenance tips are designed to be straightforward and manageable for any homeowner. By keeping an eye on your boiler’s pressure and ensuring it receives professional servicing annually, you can help extend the life of your boiler and maintain a safe, warm, and comfortable home. Remember, while DIY maintenance can help keep your boiler in good working order, some tasks should always be left to the professionals, especially those that involve the internal components of the boiler. If in doubt, don’t hesitate to call us at Thurgood Plumbing & HVAC for expert advice and service.
