A Home Heating Transformation in Mansfield – From Coal to Combi
When we first got the call from a homeowner in Mansfield, they were still living with a coal fire back boiler. If you’ve ever had one, you’ll know the struggle, constantly topping it up, battling the mess of ash, waiting forever for hot water, and never quite getting the house properly warm.
It was becoming more than just an inconvenience, it was a daily chore.
After discussing the options, the customer asked about switching over to a modern LPG gas boiler system. They live in an area without mains gas, so we talked them through the benefits of a high-efficiency Worcester Bosch LPG combi boiler, which could not only meet their heating and hot water needs but also massively reduce the hassle factor.
They were especially keen on:
- Instant hot water at the tap
- Consistent warmth across the whole house
- Better energy use
- And (no surprise!) no more coal deliveries
The Plan
We carried out a full home survey to understand how the old system was laid out and what changes were needed to make the upgrade work. Converting from a coal back boiler to a gas combi setup isn’t a like-for-like swap, it needs proper planning.
We decommissioned and safely removed the existing back boiler system and set up for a full LPG conversion. Thatincluded installing a new LPG Worcester Bosch Greenstar 10 Year guarantee combi boiler, along with a Worcester system filter to keep things clean and running efficiently. This protects the new boiler from any build-up of sludge or debris in the pipework, something that’s especially important in older systems like this one.
We also reworked some of the existing pipework, flushed the system, and upgraded controls so the homeowner could manage heating and hot water more easily.
The Result? Night and Day.
What used to take hours of feeding the fire now takes seconds with the twist of a tap or flick of the thermostat. They now have:
- Hot water on demand
- Even, reliable heating across all rooms
- Lower running costs
- No more mess, no more manual labour
And most importantly, they’ve got a 10-year guarantee for complete peace of mind, something no coal fire could ever offer.
