When we needed a new boiler, TM Hughes supplied and fitted it promptly and efficiently. The heating/hot water system was checked thoroughly after installation, including existing radiators, and the kitchen cleared and tidied afterwards. I have used this company for a number of years for boiler and hot water cylinder checks and maintenance, and can recommend them to others.

TM Hughes has serviced and worked on correcting my boiler installation (from a different and poor company) for 5 years. They have always been very professional and, importantly, turned up on time. The work is reasonably priced, and I have never had an issue with what they have done for me.

During a recent boiler fault, which was hard to diagnose, Terry, the owner, became involved and was absolutely great in helping me to resolve this with Glowworm under warranty. Very friendly, approachable, knowledgeable, and gives honest advice that a customer can trust.

I highly recommend TM Hughes and will use them for years to come and do recommend them to my friends, family, and anyone reading this review!

Serving Grays & The Surrounding Areas

Welcome to TM Hughes & Son Gas Services Ltd. We install Boilers in Grays and the surrounding areas.

All Boilers are installed by experienced Gas Safe Registered engineers with full insurance.

We offer free no-obligation surveys and quotes for new Boilers, guaranteed for up to 12 years after installation (depending on Boiler make and model).

We install all types and makes of Boilers. Types of Boilers include Combination, System and Heat Only. Makes of Boiler include Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, Glow-Worm, Potterton and more.

Over the years, we’ve fitted new Boilers in a wide range of homes, from riverside terraces to modern estates and larger family houses.

Alongside Grays itself, our Gas Safe engineers also cover Chafford Hundred, Tilbury, Orsett, Stanford-le-Hope, West Thurrock and Chadwell St Mary.

Wherever you’re based, you’ll receive the same professional service – free surveys, honest advice, and high-quality Boiler installations backed by long warranties.

Is It Time To Have A New Boiler Installed?

Determining whether it’s time for a new Boiler in your home depends on several factors. Here are some indications that you might need to consider replacing your Boiler:

Age of the Boiler

Most Boilers have a lifespan of 10-15 years. If your Boiler is approaching or has surpassed this age, consider a replacement, especially if you’re experiencing regular issues.

Expired Warranty

If your Boiler’s warranty has expired, it’s wise to consider an upgrade. Older boilers are more prone to inefficiency and breakdowns, leading to higher energy bills and repair costs. New Boilers come with up to 12 years of warranties, protecting against potential issues and reducing unexpected expenses.

Increasing Energy Bills

If your energy bills are rising and your usage has stayed the same, it might be a sign that your Boiler is losing efficiency.

Boilers lose efficiency as they age. Over the years, wear and tear on the internal components can lead to decreased performance. For instance, older boilers might not burn fuel as cleanly as they did when they were new, leading to more waste and higher energy costs.

Old Boilers can waste up to 45% of fuel burnt (55% efficiency), and new condensing Boilers run at between 90-99% efficiency. Saing you upto £500 per year. The increased energy efficiency of a new Boiler lowers your carbon footprint.

Frequent Issues

For several reasons, replacing an old boiler with frequent issues can be wise. 

Boilers with issues such as leaking, the pilot light going out, or making strange noises will eventually break down, most likely in winter when it’s working at its hardest and when you need it the most.

While repairs can be undertaken, obtaining the required parts for the Boiler is only sometimes possible.

Recurrent repairs lead to mounting costs over time, possibly surpassing the initial investment required for a new Boiler. 

Furthermore, old Boilers, especially those not meeting current safety standards, can pose safety risks such as gas or carbon monoxide leaks.

Types Of Boilers Installations

We can replace your existing Boiler with a new Boiler of the same type or convert your central heating system to accept a different type of Boiler. Something we frequently do for homeowners in Grays who have changing heating and hot water needs. Which may suit you better if your heating or hot water usage has changed since your last Boiler installation. 

Boiler Upgrades

It’s more typical for homeowners to replace their Boilers than to install entirely new systems. After all, the core of central heating, including radiators, pipes, controls, and more often outlives the Boiler itself.

We can swap out your outdated Boiler and install a modern one with your existing setup. We’ve got you covered if certain parts need replacing, whether a new pump or modern smart controls. 

First-Time Boiler Installations

For those with newly built properties, our skilled engineers will select the best Boiler and design and build the optimal central heating system tailored for your space, ensuring the best possible heating and energy efficiency.

Expanding Your Space?

For homeowners adding an extension, it’s essential to think about heating. Whether you’re considering radiators or underfloor heating for the new area, we can extend your current system to suit the enlarged space and install a new Boiler to power the system.

The Boilers We Install In Grays

At TM Hughes & Son, we exclusively fit condensing Boilers. Ensuring maximum efficiency and long-term savings. When fuel burns, there’s waste. This waste usually goes out through the flue, protecting you from harmful carbon dioxide emissions. 

Traditional Boilers let this waste fuel escape. But then along came the condensing Boiler. This ingenious design harnesses heat from those escaping gases to warm water. In simple terms, condensing Boilers recycle and make the most of what used to be waste, making them far more efficient than their predecessors.

Heating technology has evolved, with modern condensers becoming increasingly effective. 

Since 2005, UK regulations have mandated that all new boilers installed in homes must be of a condensing variety, primarily for their eco-friendly benefits. 

The savings you’ll see on your heating bills when installing a new condensing Boiler will quickly offset the initial investment.

Condensing Boilers fall into different types. We install combination, system, and regular/heat-only boilers for gas, electricity, oil, or LPG. 

Combination Boilers

A ‘Combi Boiler’ is popular today, especially for smaller homes. This is the shortened form of ‘combination Boiler.’

Combi Boilers don’t need a separate loft water tank or cylinder. This makes the setup quicker and, typically, more affordable than other Boiler types.

When you need hot water, turn on the tap. The combi Boiler quickly heats water directly as it flows.

However, it does come with a minor disadvantage. If the Boiler malfunctions, you won’t have any stored hot water backup. But don’t worry too much. Modern combi Boilers have a strong track record for reliability.

For smaller homeowners looking to replace an old Boiler, a combi might be an energy-saving option that clears up some household space.

System Boilers

System Boilers efficiently heat water for both your taps and heating units. They store the hot water in a special pressurised cylinder, ensuring you can enjoy a hot shower or wash your hands whenever you like.

A system Boiler could be ideal if your home has multiple bathrooms, allowing several hot taps to run simultaneously.

While they don’t heat water instantly like combi Boilers, a correctly set system Boiler ensures you won’t run out of hot water. If, by chance, the Boiler breaks down, the pressurised cylinder doubles as an immersion heater, so you’ll still have a hot water supply.

You’ll need storage space for the water cylinder. And while a system Boiler might take up slightly more room than its combi counterpart, you won’t need additional tanks in the loft, unlike regular Boilers.

You’ll experience consistently good water pressure since the system operates without relying on gravity. A system Boiler could be perfect if you live in a medium-sized home with 3-4 bedrooms.

Regular/Heat-Only Boilers

Ideal for spacious homes, regular Boilers store a generous amount of hot water, ensuring multiple showers and taps can operate simultaneously.

Regular Boilers use a vented cylinder filled with water tanks in the loft. This stored water naturally flows to your showers and taps thanks to gravity.

Installing regular Boilers is more time-consuming since they have multiple components. Typically, they’re a top pick for larger homes with four or more bedrooms or those already equipped with a regular Boiler and heating setup.

Fuel Types Of Boilers We Install

Gas

Gas Boilers are popular in Grays due to their efficiency and cost-effectiveness. They use natural gas to heat water, providing reliable and consistent heating. Modern gas Boilers are highly efficient, reducing energy bills and carbon footprints.

Electricity

Electric Boilers are ideal for homes without access to a gas supply. They convert electricity into heat, offering a clean and efficient heating solution. Electric Boilers are easy to install, maintain and operate silently, making them a convenient option.

Oil

Oil boilers are suitable for homes not connected to the gas grid. They use oil stored in a tank to generate heat. Oil boilers are highly efficient and provide strong heating performance, though they require periodic oil deliveries.

LPG

LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) boilers are another alternative for homes without a gas connection. LPG is stored in tanks and provides efficient heating. LPG boilers offer flexibility and high efficiency, making them a great option for off-grid properties.

Boiler Sizes

All the above Boilers are available in various sizes. Our engineers will always recommend the most suitable option for your Grays home, based on the number of radiators, bathrooms, and hot water demand.

The size of the Boiler directly affects its output and flow rate, as well as its ability to efficiently heat your radiators and provide hot water throughout your home.

Choosing the right Boiler size is important:

  • It will only be sufficient for heating and water needs if it’s bigger.
  • If it’s too large, you’ll use excess energy, costing you more to run.

Here’s a quick breakdown of Boiler sizes:

  • Small homes with up to 10 radiators: 24-27 kW
  • Medium homes with up to 15 radiators: 28-32 kW
  • Large households with more than 15 radiators: 35-42 kW

Our engineers will ensure the correct size Boiler is fitted, providing optimal heating and energy efficiency for your home.
