Areas We Cover
We're based on Gogarloch Road in South Gyle, so the west of Edinburgh is home turf for us.
Local Heating Engineers in West Edinburgh
From our base we look after homes right across Edinburgh, Midlothian and West Lothian, fitting new boilers, installing central heating, servicing boilers and fixing breakdowns.
Whether you're in a tenement flat or a family home on the edge of the Pentlands, you'll get the same Gas Safe registered engineers and the same tidy, careful work.
Where We Work
Corstorphine
We fit boilers, service heating systems and fix breakdowns for homes all around Corstorphine, from the streets off St John's Road to the houses up towards Corstorphine Hill, plus the 1930s four-in-a-block cottage flats in neighbouring Carrick Knowe. It's just down the road from our base, so it's one of the areas we know best.
South Gyle
South Gyle is where we're based, on Gogarloch Road, a short walk from the Gyle Shopping Centre. We look after boilers, radiators and heating systems for homes right across South Gyle and nearby Broomhall.
Sighthill
We install and repair boilers and central heating for homes in Sighthill, from the streets off Calder Road to the homes near Edinburgh Napier's Sighthill campus. We also service boilers here every year to keep them running safely.
Stenhouse
In Stenhouse we replace old boilers, fit new radiators and repair heating systems for homes around Stenhouse Road and Saughton Mains. It's close to our South Gyle base, so we know the area well.
Murrayfield
Murrayfield's mix of tenements and larger villas around Murrayfield Stadium and Roseburn means every heating job is a bit different. We fit boilers, upgrade heating systems and install hot water cylinders to suit older homes as well as newer ones.
Clermiston
We look after boilers and heating in Clermiston, from the homes along Clermiston Road and Drum Brae to the streets below Clermiston Tower on Corstorphine Hill. We also cover neighbouring East Craigs, with its 1970s and 1980s family homes and newer developments. Boiler servicing, repairs and full replacements are all covered.
Balerno
Out in Balerno, on the edge of the Pentland Hills, we replace boilers, service heating systems and fit smart thermostats for homes around Main Street and near Malleny Garden. Many homes here are larger, so we take care to size boilers and radiators properly.
Currie
We work on homes throughout Currie, along Lanark Road and close to Heriot-Watt University's Riccarton campus. Boiler replacements, central heating installation, radiators and annual servicing are all part of what we do here.
Kirkliston
In Kirkliston, near Edinburgh Airport, we install boilers, fit new radiators and repair heating systems for homes around Main Street and Station Road. We also offer annual boiler servicing to keep your system safe and efficient.
Ratho
We look after homes in Ratho, from the village by the Union Canal to the houses near the Edinburgh International Climbing Arena. Boiler replacements, servicing and repairs are all covered, with emergency out-of-hours call-outs when you need them.
Edinburgh
Across the rest of Edinburgh, from New Town tenements to family homes in Morningside and Leith, we fit A-rated boilers, install central heating and service boilers every year. Tenement flats often need careful flue and pipework planning, and we're used to it.
Midlothian
We cover homes across Midlothian, including Dalkeith, Bonnyrigg, Loanhead and Penicuik. Whether you need a new boiler, a full central heating system or an annual service, you'll get the same Gas Safe engineers we send everywhere else.
West Lothian
In West Lothian we work in towns like Livingston, Broxburn, Linlithgow and Bathgate. We replace boilers, install heating systems and hot water cylinders, and fit smart thermostats, with finance available on new boilers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a plumber and a gas engineer?
A gas engineer is registered with Gas Safe to work on gas appliances like boilers, gas fires and cookers. A plumber works on water pipes, taps, toilets and drainage. Some people are both, but only a Gas Safe registered engineer can legally work on anything gas. All the boiler and heating work we do is carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers, so you can check our registration before we start.
Do you need a gas engineer?
You do for any work on a gas boiler, gas fire, gas cooker or gas pipework. UK law says that work must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and that's for your safety, because faulty gas work can cause leaks or carbon monoxide. For a new boiler, a repair, a service or a gas safety check, always ask to see the engineer's Gas Safe ID card. Ours is always available.
How often should a boiler be serviced in the UK?
Once a year. An annual service keeps your boiler running safely and efficiently, catches small problems before they turn into breakdowns, and is usually needed to keep your manufacturer's warranty valid. Many people book theirs before winter, when the heating's needed most. During a service we check the gas pressure, flue, seals and safety devices, clean key parts and give you a record of the work.
What are the benefits of a new boiler?
A new A-rated boiler uses gas more efficiently, so it can bring your heating bills down. It's also more reliable, so you're less likely to be left without heat or hot water in the middle of winter. New boilers are quieter and work well with smart thermostats, and our Worcester Bosch installations come with warranties of up to 12 years. Finance lets you spread the cost.
Is it worth replacing a 20 year old boiler?
Usually, yes. A 20 year old boiler is well past the typical lifespan, it's likely to be far less efficient than a modern A-rated one, and parts can be hard to find, so repairs get slower and dearer. If it's still running safely, there's no need to panic, but it's worth getting a quote and planning the change before it breaks down rather than after.
Are there grants available for new boilers in Scotland?
There can be, depending on your circumstances. Home Energy Scotland gives free, impartial advice on the grants and interest-free loans available to Scottish households, and what's on offer changes from time to time, so it's worth checking with them first. If you don't qualify for support, we offer finance on new boilers, so you can spread the cost over 12 to 120 months.
What are the top 3 boiler brands in the UK?
There's no official top three, but Worcester Bosch, Vaillant and Ideal are among the most widely fitted boiler brands in UK homes. We're Worcester Bosch approved installers, which means we can offer warranties of up to 12 years on the Worcester Bosch boilers we fit. The right boiler for you depends on your home, so we'll recommend a model after a free survey.
Is replacing a boiler a big job?
It's a bigger job than a repair, but it's very manageable. Most of the work happens around the boiler itself: we take out the old one, fit your new A-rated boiler, add a magnetic system filter and flush the system if it needs it. It's a bigger job if the boiler's moving to a new spot or the type of system is changing. We'll explain exactly what's involved at your free home survey, and we keep the work tidy throughout.
