Kent Heating Gillingham | Central Heating Engineers

Central Heating Engineers in Gillingham | Kent Heating Ltd

A lot of heating engineers won’t touch a warm air system — they’re less common than they used to be, and not every installer keeps the specific expertise for them. We do. We’re Johnson & Starley and Worcester Bosch accredited installers, and we specialise in Halstead GWA46 replacement work, converting older warm air systems to meet current building regulations rather than telling customers their only option is to rip everything out. We’re based at our showroom on Gillingham Road, and a fair number of our customers — including several long-standing landlords — have stayed with us for years because we keep them properly up to date with the regulations that affect their properties.

Boiler Installation

We install and service regular gas boilers, combi boilers and system boilers, and we’re proud to specialise in Worcester Bosch installations. If you’re not sure what you need, one of our engineers will visit for a no-obligation assessment based on your household’s heating and hot water demand — our current recommendation for most homes is a modern Worcester condensing boiler, which pushes efficiency above 90% and can cut heating bills by around 30% a year.

Warm Air Heating Systems

This is where we differ from most heating companies in the area. We install, service and repair Johnson & Starley warm air units, including the Quantec HR28C combination boiler with Aquair heat exchange units, and we handle Halstead GWA46 replacements specifically. Peter, one of our engineers, is regularly praised by customers for explaining every step of a warm air installation clearly and leaving properties without any mess — the kind of detail that matters when you’re dealing with a heating type that’s less familiar to most homeowners.

Boiler Repairs

If your boiler’s playing up, we diagnose and repair all Worcester Bosch boilers and most warm air units. Gary and Matthew are often the ones customers mention by name after an emergency call-out — including one recent case where a boiler broke down at short notice and a replacement was fitted and running the same day.

Boiler Servicing

An annual service on any Worcester Bosch boiler or warm air unit isn’t just good practice — it’s a manufacturer requirement to keep your warranty valid, and it’s the most reliable way to catch a developing carbon monoxide risk before it becomes dangerous. Jason and the team carry out our servicing work, and it’s routine for us to flag and fix small issues — like a fan that a previous service missed — before they turn into a bigger problem.

Solar Thermal Hot Water

Alongside our core heating work, we also supply and install Worcester Greenskies solar thermal panels, which pair well with the Worcester Greenstar range of condensing boilers. A properly sized system typically covers 50–70% of a home’s hot water needs, with the boiler topping up the rest — a straightforward way to bring down hot water costs without a full renewable heating overhaul.

Why Customers Stick With Us

Andy, Bill and James have all been thanked by name in customer feedback over the years, and one thing that comes up again and again is that we do what we say we will, when we say we will, for the price we quoted — no surprises. We’re members of the Medway Fair Trader Scheme, and all our engineers are Gas Safe registered.
