Investing in a high-quality marine heating system is a significant step toward year-round comfort. To make this transition as seamless as possible, we offer select all-inclusive heating packages where professional fitting is included in the unit price. While “free” often implies a basic service, our approach remains rooted in technical excellence. Every promotional installation is performed by the same expert technicians who handle our most complex custom projects, ensuring that your new appliance is integrated safely and efficiently into your vessel’s unique layout.

The Specialist Difference: Professional Fitting at No Extra Cost

Even when installation is included as part of a package, we never cut corners on the engineering details that ensure long-term reliability.

  • Full System Integration: We don’t just “drop in” an appliance; we ensure that fuel lines, exhausts, and ventilation are fully optimised for your boat’s specific dimensions.
  • Component Quality: Our promotional installs still utilise premium materials, including ISO 7840-compliant fuel hoses, fire-resistant copper lines, and high-grade stainless steel flue components.
  • Pressure Testing & Calibration: Every unit is fully commissioned, including flue gas analysis for diesel systems or gas soundness testing for water heaters, to guarantee peak performance from day one.

Safety/Regulatory: OFTEC and BSS

To maintain your Canal & River Trust (CRT) license, all heating and hot water installations must strictly adhere to the Boat Safety Scheme (BSS) requirements. A “free” installation that fails a BSS inspection is a costly mistake; that is why we prioritise compliance in every fitting.

Our team includes OFTEC registered technicians, ensuring that all solid fuel and oil-fired appliances meet BS 8511 standards. Upon completion of your installation, we provide the necessary certification to satisfy insurers and BSS examiners, giving you total peace of mind that your “Free Installation” package meets the highest professional benchmarks.
