Local Heating Issues

Common heating problems in Shaw.

Shaw and Crompton's elevation and stock age create a predictable set of issues.

Local issue

Frozen condensate on hillside properties

Higher elevation in Crompton means hard frosts; internal condensate routing prevents lock-outs.

Local issue

Undersized combis in extended semis

Correct sizing at survey prevents under-performance.

Local issue

Old gate valves and original pipework

Replaced with quarter-turn isolators as standard during major work.

Local issue

Hard-water scale on heat exchangers

Magnetic filter plus scale reducer protects the boiler long-term.
