- Water circulating pumps
- Interlocks, hot water flow and return lines (pipe work)

- Hot water cylinder
- Expansion tank
- System bypass valve
- Zone valves
- Zone switches

Unfortunately, non-standard radiators, such as towel rail radiators, will be replaced with a standard panel radiator if they should fail.
- Radiators and pipework
Radiators and pipework
These are the heat emitters that are installed in individual rooms. These can be controlled individually by thermostatic radiator valves or together by a room thermostat. The radiator in a room with a room thermostat would not normally have a thermostatic radiator valve.
Pipework connects everything together and is usually hidden from sight under floors, in attics and walls.
- Hot water cylinder
Hot water cylinder
Separate from the boiler the cylinder is used to store hot water. Cylinders have their own controls from a simple cylinder thermostat on a standard cylinder to complex valves and electronics. Standard cylinders are vented into a tank, usually in the attic. Non-standard cylinders are generally unvented and provide more efficient hot water; they are also quicker to heat.

Boiler and heating frequently asked questions
How long will the process take?
Signing up is easy and should only take you a few minutes. Your contract will start the next business day after you sign up (not bank holidays or weekends)
What will happen when I take out cover
You will receive a welcome pack in the post which will have all the details for you in case you ever need them to hand. We will call you to organise an initial inspection at a time that is suitable for you.
What does ‘Excess’ mean?
When someone pays an excess, it means that they will be paying the first part of a claim. If you have a £0 excess however, you will not have to pay anything.
Who are SSE?
We first formed in 1998 when Scottish Hydro Electric merged with Southern Electric to become Scottish and Southern Energy. Later we incorporated SWALEC and Atlantic into our family and we’re now known as SSE. You may be familiar with our local brands – SSE Southern Electric, SSE Scottish Hydro and SSE SWALEC. But no matter what our name is, our primary aim is to give great customer service to all of our customers.
