Why professional boiler installation matters

A new boiler is one of the biggest purchases most households make for their home, and how it is fitted matters as much as which model you choose.

It has to be legal and safe

Any work on a gas boiler in the UK must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer. A proper installation checks gas supply and pressure, flue position and clearances, ventilation and condensate drainage before the boiler is commissioned. Get any of these wrong and the boiler may be unsafe, or simply stop working the first time the weather turns.

Always ask to see the engineer’s Gas Safe ID card. You can check it on the Gas Safe Register website.

It runs as efficiently as it should

Modern condensing boilers are only efficient when they are set up correctly: the right output for the size of your home, the right flow temperature, and controls that let the boiler run gently rather than cycling on and off. An oversized boiler fitted without a heat loss calculation wastes gas every day it runs.

It protects your warranty

Manufacturers only honour long warranties when the boiler is installed and registered correctly and serviced every year. We offer up to 15 years warranty on boilers, and we register them for you.

It costs less to look after

Most early boiler failures come from the system around the boiler rather than the boiler itself. Sludge in old radiators, no magnetic filter, or no inhibitor in the water will clog a new heat exchanger quickly. A professional installation deals with the system as well: a flush where it is needed, a filter, inhibitor, and neat, correctly supported pipework.
