LATEST NEWS FROM MPS HEATING

When your old boiler starts making those worrying noises, or it's simply time for an upgrade, the first thought for many is often to hit Google and see what the big national companies are offering. And sure, they might have slick websites and catchy jingles, but here at MPS Heating, based right here in Swindon, we believe there's a compelling case for keeping your boiler business local.
It’s not just about supporting the local economy (though that's a fantastic bonus!). Choosing a Swindon-based boiler supplier offers a host of tangible benefits that national chains simply can't match.

Welcome back to the MPS Heating blog, your local Boiler and heating experts for keeping your Swindon home warm and efficient. This month, we're venturing beyond the simple thermostat to explore a smarter way to manage your home's heating: heating zones and smart controls.
For years, many of us have relied on a single thermostat to dictate the temperature for our entire house. But think about it – does every room in your Swindon home need to be the same temperature all the time? Probably not. This is where the power of heating zones and intelligent controls comes in, offering a more comfortable and cost-effective way to heat your property.

As the days get a little longer but the evenings remain crisp here in Swindon, the topic of home heating is likely on many of your minds. You might be hearing a lot about heat pumps as the "future" of home heating, but here at MPS Heating, we believe that for many households in Swindon and the surrounding areas, the traditional gas boiler remains the most reliable, efficient, and cost-effective choice.
Let's be clear: heat pumps have their place, and the technology is evolving. However, when we weigh up the practicalities for the average Swindon homeowner, gas boilers continue to offer significant advantages.

After the success in our last day in the life blog, we have been asked numerous times if that is really what it is like. And Yes, it is.

And when it comes to the warmth that makes a house a home, that reliability rests squarely on the shoulders of MPS Heating. Forget the generic boiler blogs; let's talk about the real, human story of keeping Swindon snug.
