Good boiler installation is vital for several reasons. Firstly, it will ensure proper function. It will make sure the appliance is energy efficient too. Lastly, it will confirm the boiler is safe and won't pose a threat to you and your family’s safety.

Working out what size you should get with your boiler installation

While you should consult with your engineer with a decision like this and trust their advice, there are a few important considerations with this choice of Boiler Installation.

What space do you have?

If you're struggling for space in your property, a combi boiler can be a great choice. The reason for this is that they don't require a hot water cylinder, You could also think about moving your Boiler Installation to the loft?

How much water do you use?

If you have a big family home then it is likely that you will have a bigger water consumption that someone living alone in a single bed flat. Typically, a conventional boiler is better for higher water demands and combis are better for lower water usage.

Where do you want to have your New Boiler Installation?

To make installation easier and to minimise disruption, it can be better to have a boiler fitted in the same place as the old one. The majority of people will put them in cupboards such as in the kitchen. However, you can put it in almost any room in the house if it has the right pipework and you are able to correctly position the flue.

Types of Boilers We Can Install

We can install any type of boiler, regardless of whether they are for domestic or commercial settings.

Gas Boiler Installation

• • • System boiler Installation
      These appliances require the installation of a cylinder for storing hot water. Luckily, the major heating and hot water components are built into the boiler itself. This makes it easier to install than some other types.
    • Combi boiler Installation

  Highly efficient and cost-effective, a combi is relatively quick and easy to install these boilers. This is thanks to the fact that no hot water cylinder or cold water storage tank is necessary. Their small size makes them the perfect choice to be installed if you have a small property.

  • Regular boiler Installation
    Best installed if your property has an older radiator system. It may not be able to cope with the higher water pressure that results from having a system or combi boiler. A separate cold water storage tank is also needed to feed the hot water cylinder.
  • CHP boiler Installation
    CHP (Combined Heat and Power) are a relatively new type of appliance for domestic properties. Previously they were available in larger formats for commercial premises. Generating both heat and electricity, the installation of these boilers is straightforward.

Electric Boiler Installation

• Direct-acting electric: These are the simplest type and installation is a straightforward process. As a result, they are generally cheaper than installing other types.
• Electric CPSU: Combined Primary Storage Unit boilers are more popular in commercial settings thanks to their larger size. Domestic properties would need to have plenty of space to install one.
• Storage electric: Some of these have a separate hot water boiler whereas others have a built-in storage unit. They take up more room than other types and take longer to install.

Boiler Installation Tips

• Qualified, highly experienced professionals should install boilers. Gas Safe (formerly known as Corgi) heating engineer or plumbers should do this in the case of gas boiler installation to ensure they meet the regulations.
• Boiler installation costs depend upon the type of appliance installed. Some boilers take more time to install and some require separate hot water cylinders and storage tanks, both of which can increase the cost.
• Don’t try to install yourself; this is extremely dangerous. Only a heating engineer or plumber fully registered with Gas Safe should do the job.

The Boiler Installation Process

• They will begin by checking your current water pressure, the number of bathrooms and radiators, as well as taking a look at your current boiler and its position
• A straightforward like-for-like boiler swap can be finished on the same day, whereas a more complex job such as moving the boiler will prolong the installation. Once the work is finished, the engineer will talk you through your new boiler and how it works.
• After the job is finished comes the horrible part, payment. Our advice would be to get a fixed quote before work begins to avoid any surprise additions to the bill. Use our approximate costs to give you some insight into how much it’s going to cost and what the best option is for you financially.
• A lot of companies give you documentation to prove compliance, this is known as a gas safety certificate. It can be worth asking for this if you haven’t received it soon after your new boiler installation.
• Many companies also offer you a guarantee on the services. If you have any queries about the work that has been done, you should chase this up as soon as you can.
