Getting your boiler Installed
Everyone wants to be warm and comfortable with access to hot water whenever they need it. This is possible when you have a quality system in place. However, you might find yourself in need of a new boiler at some point. When this is the case, you need a solution quickly so that you don’t have to wait around.
There are a number of reasons you might find yourself in need of a replacement boiler. For instance it might be that your boiler has broken down. The cost of dealing with all the faults could be piling up to the point where it makes more sense for you to invest in a new one.
It could also be a case of poor efficiency. With age, appliances can become less and less efficient. This can result in you spending more than you need to heat your home. Well, there are modern boilers out there that can heat your home much better while using less fuel. This does wonders for your bills as well as the environment.
Choose the right design
You might choose to simply swap your old appliance for a new replacement of the same type. On the other hand, you may wish to take this opportunity to assess your situation and pick an appliance that better suits your needs.
Everyone has their own budget and requirements when it comes to selecting a new boiler. The best way to make a decision is to involve an engineer because they will be able to help using their knowledge of different appliances. However, there are some factors that you should be aware of that will come into play.
For starters, you have to consider the size of the property because you need to know if you have enough space for a water storage cylinder. The water usage of the property is also important to ensure that your appliance can handle your needs.
In addition, you need to get the best fuel type. This depends on factors like cost as well as preference. Options for your new installation include:
- Gas Boiler
- Electric Boiler
- Biomass Boiler
- Oil Boiler
There are appliances available at various price points. Therefore, regardless of your budget and what you are looking for, we are sure that there is something out there for you.
What you should know about oversizing
Something that is seen quoted a lot is people oversizing boilers “just to be safe”. This may seem like a good idea but in reality is very inefficient. The reason for this is that an oversized boiler will ‘cycle’ an excessive amount, bringing it on and then off more too often. This then speeds up wear and tear.
Furthermore, TRVs (Thermostatic radiator valves) don’t reduce boiler output when individual room temperatures are met. Therefore, the boiler will continue to fire at a high rate until every room in the property is warm enough. So you should simply get the right size for your needs.
Costs for a new Combi boiler
It is undeniably impossible to give an accurate price for how much your boiler and installation will cost without any specific information. However, there are some estimates that we can provide to help give you a better idea for an estimate. In light of that, we will go over the 3 main types of boilers below and the costs you can expect to pay for replacing your appliance.
New Combi Boiler
These single units generate all the hot water as well as the heating for a property, and do not use hot water tanks.
| Installation Job | Approximate Cost | Estimated Time To Complete |
|---|---|---|
| Swapping an old combi for a new one, in the same location | £2,000 for a mid-range appliance | 24 hours |
| Swapping an old combi for a new one, in a different location | £2,600 for a mid-range appliance | 1 ½ days |
| Swapping a regular boiler and hot water tank for a new combi boiler | £3,200 for a mid-range appliance | Up to 2 and a ½ days |
Regular (Heat Only) Boiler
This type of boiler will only provide heating and works with a hot water cylinder.
| Installation Job | Approximate Cost | Estimated Time To Complete |
|---|---|---|
| Swapping an old regular boiler for a new one, in the same location | £1,750 for a mid-range appliance | 24 hours |
| Swapping an old regular boiler for a new one, in a different location | £2,200 for a mid-range appliance | 1 ½ days |
System Boiler
This appliance has the same components that a combi does but without the hot water production and works with a steel hot water cylinder.
| Installation Job | Approximate Cost | Estimated Time To Complete |
|---|---|---|
| Swapping a system boiler for a new one, retaining the unvented hot water tank | £1,950 for a mid-range appliance | 24 hours |
| Swapping a heat only boiler and hot water tank for a system boiler and unvented hot water tank | £4,200 for a mid-range appliance | 2 days |
| Swapping a combi boiler with a system boiler and unvented hot water tank | £4,600 for a mid-range appliance | Up to 2 and a ½ days |
Reasons costs can vary
You have to remember that when you get a new model, you are paying for both the physical appliance and system with it which, depending on the circumstances, can involve different degrees of work.
As we have gone over briefly above, moving a boiler to a new location complicates the job and therefore raises the costs. You also have to consider things like control panels, and whether the infrastructure is suitable or needs updating.
What are the steps involved with boiler installation?
As you can imagine, this changes with each job depending on numerous factors but there are basic steps you can expect when you get a new boiler.
When using an installer, this must be a professional who is capable of completing safe work to a high standard. You can then know that your boiler will operate properly and efficiently for years to some. Moreover, they can help you select the right boiler for you and your property. It is easier to find someone than you might realise when you let Warm help you. Get in touch today for your 3 free quotes for engineers in your area.
The engineer will take a look at things like how many radiators and bathrooms the property has as well as the water pressure, and the existing boiler.
When the installation is done, which can take different lengths of time depending on the complexities of the specific job, they will talk you through the appliance, how to use it etc.
Then comes what no one really looks forward to, paying the bill. You should ideally ask for a fixed quote before the work starts. This is because you won't have to worry about surprises.
You should receive documentation for the appliance to prove compliance and safety. It is worth speaking to your engineer about this. You should also see if they offer a guarantee with their services and make sure you have information about the boiler warranty.
