Gas And Oil Central Heating Systems in Paphos Cyprus
Many newcomers to Cyprus often assume that gas central heating isn't necessary due to the country's Middle Eastern climate, but after experiencing a few winters here, many begin to inquire about heating options. In Cyprus, there are various ways to keep your home warm, including electric radiators, mobile gas fires, traditional fireplaces, log burners, and the reliable gas central heating system. With over 30 years of experience installing gas central heating systems in Cyprus and England, we specialize in LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), which is different from the commonly misunderstood 'Low Pressure Gas.' Our systems typically include a storage cylinder, boiler, radiators, connecting piping, and an electrical control system. While most new homes come pre-fitted with the necessary pipework for easy installation of central heating, many existing homes may require additional provisions to be installed.
Central Heating Installations
Our central heating installation process begins with a comprehensive property survey to accurately assess the heat requirements, radiator sizes, and boiler selection, considering factors like existing pipework, which may need planning and calculation if not pre-installed; we aim to conceal piping where possible, but often it runs outside and is insulated in trunking for tidiness. Radiators are wall-mounted in optimal positions and fitted with thermostatic valves for precise control, while boilers—primarily Baxi models known for efficiency and quiet operation—are typically installed in outbuildings or custom-fabricated fireproof enclosures if needed.
The system often includes a hot water cylinder, which might be replaced with a model featuring an integrated heating coil or a combination boiler with solar pre-heated water and instantaneous heating,depending on site conditions, with a pressure pump if necessary; during the survey, we advise on the best setup. We install full control systems, including motorized zone valves, wall thermostats, programmers, and safety devices like electronic gas cut-offs, ensuring comprehensive safety and user control—unlike some operators who omit these crucial components to cut costs. Radiators are stylish, available in single, double, or triple panel options, finished in enamel or white. Gas cylinders are rented from the gas company, with initial setup handled by us; the company maintains the cylinders, including any repairs or rust issues. After installation, we pressure-test and flush the system to eliminate contaminants, add corrosion inhibitors like Fernox, balance radiators, and perform thorough testing. Our engineers, qualified under Gas Safe standards from the UK, install and certify systems following both UK and Cypriot regulations, ensuring safety and reliability.

Power-Flushing Central Heating Systems
Power-Flushing is an effective method to restore your central heating system’s efficiency by removing accumulated debris, rust, and sludge that develop over time, especially in systems over ten years old or after leaks. This process involves introducing a specialized Fernox cleaner to loosen blockages, then using a powerful machine to flush out all the sludge, ensuring better flow and heat distribution. The result is a quieter, more efficient system where radiators heat up faster, the pump works less hard, and you save money on fuel. Additionally, we apply a corrosion inhibitor afterward to prevent future build-up, prolonging the life of your system and maintaining optimal performance. Contact us for more information and let us help you improve your heating system’s efficiency. Why not read our blog post.
