"Oh how lovely, a real coal fire!" How many times have you said that yourself when you enter a home with an open fire glowing gently on the hearth? There's an indefinable pleasure in the warmth, the sense of comfort and well being that no other heating system can give, no matter how efficient it might be.
'Link-up' makes it possible to connect your open fire to your central heating system in such a way that you can enjoy the comforts of improved heating and more control over your heating costs. Existing gas or oil central heating systems can be adapted or extended. All of the benefits of dual fired heating, coupled with the pleasure of a real fire. What could be better?
So, how does it work? - Like all great ideas, 'link-up' is really quite simple:
- An open coal fire or roomheater fitted with a back boiler can be linked up with the existing boiler in such a way that you use either, or both, to provide the heating and hot water you need at any given time.
- The existing central heating boiler continues to service the system with hot water as necessary.
- The radiators, adjusted to the desired temperature, can be supplied by your open fire or by the existing boiler or a combination of both.
- 'Link-up' can be installed so that the open fire heats either or both the hot water cylinder and the radiators.
Flexible Heating - The real advantage of 'link-up' is its flexibility. While you are enjoying the comfort of your open fire, it can automatically take over all or part of the heating normally provided by the central heating boiler, and at no extra cost. When you are not using your solid fuel appliance, the central heating system operates as normal.
