Specialist service

Warm air heating specialist, with Johnson & Starley units serviced and repaired

Many heating engineers no longer work on warm air systems. Darren has been looking after them across Reading, Berkshire and South Oxfordshire for over 25 years, so your existing system can keep running safely and efficiently.

  • Warm air heating repairs
  • Servicing and maintenance
  • Fault diagnosis with professional test equipment
  • Replacement units and new installations

Mostly Johnson & Starley, as the predominant brand, but other domestic warm air units too. Domestic units only.

“Darren has maintained a J&S air heater and hot water unit as well as a condensing boiler for a number of years, sorting out problems with fans, heat exchangers and ignition systems in short order at short notice. Knows his 'stuff', very professional and open. Strongly recommended.”

  • Darren fitted my new boiler five years ago. He advised a combi boiler and I have been really happy with it. Recently Darren also serviced the boiler for me. Darren works quickly,competently and always clears up after. I feel he gives good value for money. I would recommend Darren to friends and family.

FAQs

Common questions

Got a different question? Darren is happy to give advice before you book a visit.

07747 665818

How often should I have my boiler serviced?

Once a year. An annual service keeps your boiler safe and efficient, and helps keep the manufacturer’s warranty valid. It’s worth booking about a month before your service is due.

Is a boiler service the same as a gas safety check?

No. A boiler service is maintenance to keep your boiler safe and efficient. A gas safety check is the mandatory annual inspection landlords need to confirm their gas appliances are safe to use (a CP12 certificate is £90 + VAT).

Do you offer emergency call-outs?

Yes, for boiler breakdowns and leaks. Normal hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, but out-of-hours emergency call-outs are available when needed. Higher rates may apply outside normal hours.

Do you charge for quotes?

No. Written estimates for new boiler installations are free, and you’re welcome to call for advice before booking a visit.

Do you work on oil or renewable systems?

No. DN Heating works on gas appliances only, including gas warm air heating units.

What should I do if I suspect a gas leak?

Turn off the gas supply at the meter, open windows, don’t use electrical switches, and call the National Gas Emergency Service immediately on 0800 111 999.
