What is warm air heating?
Warm air heating uses a gas‑fired unit to blow heated air through ducts. It was common in homes built between the 1960s and 1990s.
Why do people replace warm air heating?
Many systems are old, noisy, and inefficient. Spare parts can be difficult to source, and temperature control is limited compared to radiators.
Is gas central heating more efficient?
Yes. Modern condensing boilers are significantly more efficient than older warm‑air units and provide more consistent heat.
Do I need new pipework?
Yes. Warm‑air systems use ducts, not water pipes. A full conversion includes new pipework and radiators.
Can I keep my ducts?
Ducts are not used with radiator systems. They can be removed or left in place.
How long does the conversion take?
Most installations take 2–5 days depending on property size and layout.
Will this increase my home’s value?
In most cases, yes. Radiators and a modern boiler make the property more appealing to buyers.
Do I need planning permission?
No. Heating upgrades fall under permitted development, but work must comply with Building Regulations and be carried out by a Gas Safe engineer.
