Getting a New Boiler Replacement & Installation
The need for a boiler replacement often arises when your current boiler is broken, is old, inefficient, or frequently breaks down.
You might be feeling the chill during winter months, or perhaps you’ve noticed a surge in your gas bills.
These signs could indicate the need for a new boiler installation. But why should you consider replacing your boiler?
Well, the benefits are multifold. New boilers can improve your home’s warmth and comfort, lower your energy bills, and even increase your home’s value. These benefits come along with the installation of a new condensing gas boiler.
What is included with a replacement boiler and installation?
Right from choosing your replacement boiler, here’s exactly what the installation involves in several steps:
- We ask about your heating and hot water demands
- We select the best size boiler and model of boiler for your home
- You will book an installation date for one of our Gas Safe engineers to attend your home
Our installation process is designed to make the transition to your new boiler as seamless as possible. We’ll begin by carefully removing your existing boiler, making space for the new unit. Next, we’ll prepare the installation site by running dedicated gas, water, and electrical lines to ensure your new boiler has all the necessary connections. To optimize performance and efficiency, we’ll then perform a thorough cleaning of your central heating system, removing any built-up sediment or debris. Finally, we’ll securely install your new boiler, connecting it to the newly run gas and water lines. Safety is paramount, so we’ll meticulously seal the flue site to prevent any leaks and verify there’s proper ventilation in place for safe operation.
Once your new boiler is installed, we don’t stop there. To ensure everything is working perfectly and safely, we’ll perform a comprehensive commissioning process. This involves thoroughly testing the boiler’s functionality and making any necessary adjustments. We’ll then take the time to set up the controls and thermostat, programming them to your desired settings for optimal comfort. Finally, we’ll provide a comprehensive handover, guiding you through the operation and best practices for using your new boiler efficiently. For your peace of mind, we’ll also register your Gas Safe installation and your manufacturer’s warranty, ensuring everything is covered.
This may sound complicated, however, gas boiler installation is really easy for an experienced Gas Safe boiler engineer from Boiler Central, as we install boilers across the UK every day (except Christmas day), and you’ll be glad to know as expert installers that Boiler Central is Gas Safe registered.
