RARE's heating engineers cover the full spectrum, from emergency boiler repairs to complex multi-zone system design."},{q:"What is weather compensation and why does it matter?",a:"Weather compensation modulates boiler output based on the outdoor temperature — delivering exactly the heat required for ambient conditions. This improves comfort, reduces fuel consumption and extends heat exchanger life."},{q:"What is hydraulic separation and do I need it?",a:"Hydraulic separation uses a low-loss header or buffer vessel to separate the primary boiler circuit from the secondary distribution circuits. It is necessary in systems with multiple circuits — underfloor heating, radiators and hot water."},{q:"How do you size a boiler correctly?",a:"Boiler sizing requires a room-by-room heat loss calculation based on floor area, ceiling height, insulation values, window area and glazing type. A correctly sized boiler is typically smaller than most installer

1s recommend."},{q:"Why do oversized boilers cause problems?",a:"An oversized boiler reaches its set temperature quickly and shuts off — short cycling. This prevents the boiler from reaching condensing mode, wastes fuel and shortens boiler life significantly."},{q:"Do you install smart heating controls?",a:"Yes. We install Heatmiser NeoHub systems for multi-zone UFH and radiator control, Honeywell evohome and Tado. We configure everything and set up the smartphone app before we leave."},{q:"What areas do you cover?",a:"We cover all of Central and North London — Mayfair, Knightsbridge, Belgravia, Chelsea, Kensington, Marylebone, St John's Wood, Hampstead, Notting Hill, Primrose Hill, Belsize Park, Holland Park, Westminster, Pimlico and surrounding areas."}],C=[{name:"Oliver B.",location:"Hampstead",text:"RARE diagnosed and fixed our heating problem in one visit — something two other engineers had failed to do.
