Gas Boiler Installation

Choosing the Right Boiler

Type: There are different types of gas boilers, such as combi, system, and regular (conventional) boilers. The choice depends on the size of your property, heating and hot water needs, and existing system.

Capacity: The boiler should be appropriately sized for your home to ensure efficient heating and hot water supply.

Efficiency: Look for high-efficiency models with good ratings, which can help reduce energy bills.

Preparation and Planning

Survey: A professional surveyor should assess your property to determine the best location for the boiler, flue, and other components.

Permits and Regulations: Ensure that all local regulations and safety standards are met. This often involves obtaining necessary permits.

Old Boiler Removal: If replacing an existing boiler, safely disconnect and remove the old unit.

Installation Process

Positioning: The boiler must be installed in a suitable location, typically on an exterior wall for easy flue access.

Pipework: Connect the boiler to the gas supply, water supply, and heating system. This includes installing the necessary pipes and fittings.

Flue Installation: The flue must be installed to vent exhaust gases safely. This requires careful positioning and adherence to regulations.

Electrical Connections: The boiler will need to be connected to the electrical supply, and in some cases, integrated with smart home systems.

Commissioning

Testing: Once installed, the boiler should be tested to ensure all connections are secure, and the system is working correctly. This includes checking for leaks, correct pressure, and proper combustion.

Setting Controls: Configure the boiler controls and thermostat according to your preferences and ensure they are functioning properly.

Certification: After installation, the work should be certified to verify that it meets all regulatory standards.

Aftercare

User Guide: We help ensure you understand how to operate your new boiler, including setting temperatures and using any smart features.

Regular Maintenance: Schedule regular servicing to keep your boiler in good working order and maintain efficiency. This is often required to keep the warranty valid.

Safety Considerations

Carbon Monoxide Safety: Make sure carbon monoxide detectors are installed and functioning correctly.

Qualified Installers: We only use qualified engineers

Cost Considerations

The cost of installation can vary widely depending on the type of boiler, the complexity of the installation, and any additional work required, such as upgrading the gas supply or radiators.
