How long does a new boiler installation take?

A like-for-like swap in the same position is typically a day. Converting between boiler types — a regular system to a combi, say — takes longer because the tank and cylinder come out and pipework changes.

What size boiler do I need?

It depends on your property size, number of radiators and how many bathrooms draw hot water at once — not on fitting the biggest available. An oversized boiler cycles inefficiently and costs more to run. We size it properly and explain the reasoning.

Combi, system or regular — which is right for my home?

Combi suits most flats and smaller homes with decent mains pressure. System boilers with a cylinder handle larger homes and multiple bathrooms better. Regular boilers are usually kept when replacing like-for-like where a loft tank already exists.

Do you remove and dispose of the old boiler?

Yes, that's included. We take the old unit away and dispose of it properly — you're not left with it in the garage.

Is a system flush included?

We assess whether the system needs one and tell you honestly. Fitting a new boiler onto an old, dirty system is a false economy — debris circulates into the new unit. Be cautious of any quote that's cheaper because it quietly omits this.

What warranty comes with a new boiler?

The manufacturer's own warranty, which varies by brand and model, registered on your behalf at installation. Our 12-month workmanship guarantee sits alongside it, covering the installation itself.

Do I need planning permission?

Generally not for a straightforward replacement, though flue positioning must meet building regulations. We confirm compliance as part of the job and notify building control where required.

Can I switch from a regular boiler to a combi?

Usually yes, if your incoming mains pressure and flow rate support it. It means removing the loft tank and hot water cylinder, which frees up space but makes it a bigger job than a straight swap. We'll test your pressure before recommending it.

Will a new boiler cut my energy bills?

Replacing a genuinely old, inefficient unit with a modern A-rated boiler usually reduces gas consumption. Be sceptical of specific percentage claims though — actual savings depend on your usage, insulation and controls as much as the boiler itself.

Will you balance the system afterwards?

Yes. A new boiler on an unbalanced system still leaves some rooms cold and others too hot. Balancing is part of a proper installation, not an optional extra.
