heating season essentials
Arctic Hayes, the leading heating and plumbing consumables specialist, is helping merchants stock up for the specific demands of the heating season. According to a recent study by Boiler Guide, January had the highest percentage of boiler breakdown enquiries (15.56%), followed by December (12.01%).
“This is a busy time of year for heating and plumbing installers, and we are helping merchants provide their customers with the essential tools and equipment they will need to get the job done,” says Lee Parsons, CEO of Arctic Hayes. “We are providing additional sales support along with outstanding point of sale and the access to high-quality products that merchants have come to expect from Arctic Hayes.”
Trends at this time of year mean stocking items essential to boiler and heating system installation and repair is paramount. Here are Arctic Hayes’ top six product ranges to order now:
Gauges & Hoses
High-quality gauges and hoses are indispensable to heating engineers. Gauges are vital for measuring and monitoring pressure, temperature, and other critical parameters in a boiler’s system. Pressure gauges help ensure that the system operates within safe limits, preventing over-pressurisation, while temperature gauges are essential for maintaining optimal performance and efficiency and preventing overheating.
Radiator Servicing
Heating engineers need tools such as radiator bleed keys and drain-down kits to eliminate trapped air and maintain optimal flow in the radiators. Proper radiator servicing ensures that heat is evenly distributed throughout a building, reducing energy wastage and enhancing comfort. Regular radiator servicing also extends the life of these heating elements, saving homeowners and building managers time and money.
Pipework Repair
When it comes to repairing pipework, Pipe Freeze kits are a great option for heating and plumbing engineers. They save vast amounts of time as you do not need to drain down the system, there is hardly any clearing up to be done, and there is no disruption to your customers’ homes or workplaces. They are also extremely easy to use.

Abrasives & Brushes
Customers want their heating systems to be as efficient and last as possible. Although they might seem simple tools, abrasives and brushes play a significant role in ensuring heating systems stay fit for purpose for longer. Over time, heating systems accumulate deposits like scale, rust, and corrosion. These impede heat transfer and reduce the system's efficiency. Abrasives and brushes help effectively remove these deposits, allowing the system to function optimally.
Temperature, Gas & Pressure Testing
One of the most critical aspects of boiler care is ensuring the system's integrity. This requires a range of test equipment to monitor temperature, gas levels and pressure. Regular use of this equipment during boiler installations and maintenance can prevent potential hazards, improve energy efficiency and extend the system's life. Look for models with clear, easy-to-read LCD screens that accurately measure various units and scales. Pumps with extra-long hoses, like the Arctic Hayes Digital Pressure Vessel Hand Pump, which has a three-metre hose, means you can easily access hard-to-reach areas.
