Boiler and heating services in St Thomas, Exeter
Many homes in St Thomas are terraces, rental properties or older Exeter homes with heating systems that have been changed or added to over time. In these properties, the right solution is often a well-chosen combi boiler, a properly repaired existing boiler, or a considered upgrade from an older vented system.
We are Gas Safe registered and focus on clear advice, proper workmanship and long-term solutions rather than cheap patch repairs.
Local heating engineer for St Thomas homes
Lombardi Heating is based on Cowley Bridge Road, just over the trainline from St Thomas, which means we are well placed to provide regular boiler and heating services in the area.
We specialise in boiler servicing, boiler repairs, heating fault-finding, landlord gas safety checks and properly surveyed boiler installations.
In many St Thomas properties, combi boilers can be a good option if the home and existing system are suitable. In some older homes, replacing an old vented system with a modern combi boiler can free up cupboard or loft space, simplify the heating system and remove old tanks or cylinders that are no longer needed.
That does not mean a combi boiler is automatically the right answer for every property. We assess the home and existing system before recommending the best option.
Recent heating system upgrade in St Thomas
We recently carried out a heating upgrade in St Thomas where the property had an old vented system with a heat-only boiler and an inefficient hot water cylinder.
We removed the old setup and installed a Viessmann 100 boiler, carried out a full system flush, and fitted weather compensation to help the new system run more efficiently.
The work took the customer from an old, inefficient and outdated heating system to a modern setup designed for better efficiency, reliability and long-term performance.
Boiler repairs in St Thomas
We carry out boiler repairs and fault-finding in St Thomas for common heating and hot water problems, including:
-
no heating
-
no hot water
-
pressure loss
-
leaking boilers
-
radiators not heating properly
-
boiler lockouts and fault codes
-
noisy boilers
-
thermostat or control issues
-
circulation problems
Where possible, our aim is always to repair the boiler rather than replace it. We will explain what is causing the issue, what your repair options are, and whether the fault points to a wider system problem.
Sometimes, if a boiler is very old, unreliable or likely to keep costing money, replacement may be the better long-term option for the customer. If that is the case, we will discuss it clearly with you rather than pushing a decision on the first visit.
Boiler servicing and landlord gas safety certificates in St Thomas
Annual boiler servicing helps keep your boiler safe, reliable and working as efficiently as possible. We provide boiler servicing in St Thomas for homeowners, landlords and rental properties.
A proper boiler service is not just a quick look at the appliance. We check the boiler, test safety where required, look for signs of wear or poor performance, and flag issues that may become more expensive if ignored.
St Thomas has a number of rental properties, so we also provide landlord gas safety certificates / CP12 checks for local landlords and property owners. We can help with annual gas safety checks, boiler servicing, repair advice and replacement boiler recommendations where an older boiler is becoming unreliable or uneconomical to keep repairing.
For landlords, the priority is usually safe, reliable and manageable heating. We will give clear advice and avoid overcomplicating the system where a straightforward, well-installed combi boiler is the better long-term option.
Combi boiler installation in St Thomas
For many homes in St Thomas, a combi boiler can be a good option. A combi boiler provides heating and hot water from one appliance, without needing a separate hot water cylinder.
This can be especially useful where a home has an older vented system with tanks in the loft or an airing cupboard cylinder taking up space. If the property is suitable, converting to a combi boiler can simplify the system, free up useful storage space and remove old tanks or cylinders that are no longer needed.
We normally recommend Vaillant and Viessmann boilers because both can be set up much more efficiently than many other boiler brands when installed properly. Between them, they also offer options at a range of price points without dropping down to lower-quality or less efficient boilers.
The right choice still depends on the home, existing system, hot water demand and budget.
The boiler brand matters, but the installation matters just as much. A good combi boiler still needs proper pipework, system protection, controls, commissioning and setup.
For full replacement boiler information, see our main boiler installation page.
Central heating and plumbing work in St Thomas
We also carry out central heating work in St Thomas, including radiator replacements, radiator balancing, heating fault-finding, circulation problems and heating control upgrades.
In any home, the heating system needs to be set up properly. Radiators should be suitable for the rooms they heat, controls should be easy to use, and the boiler should be set up sensibly.
We consider lower flow temperatures, correct radiator sizing and efficient boiler setup as part of good heating work. The goal is not just to make the heating work on the day, but to help the system run properly over the longer term.
We also carry out plumbing work in St Thomas, including leaks, taps, toilets, pipework repairs, hot water issues, radiator valves, small plumbing repairs and plumbing connected to heating or boiler work.
We do not aim to be the cheapest option for every small plumbing job. We are a better fit where you want the work done properly, with clear communication and sensible advice.
