Finding an Installer 

We recommend contacting at least three boiler installers to come to your home and discuss your heating and hot water needs, as installers' costs and diagnoses may differ. 

They will talk with you about whether a simple new boiler is the best option or if there is a better solution. Your installer will also explain the many control systems accessible to you and provide a suggestion depending on the features you want as well as any extras like smart functionality, weather compensation, or load compensation.

Getting a quote

Following their visit, your installer will provide you with a price for supplying and installing the boiler, which should cover the following work: 

 Power flushing the heating system  

 Heating Controls  

 Any system changes that may need to be carried out 

The total cost of the boiler and installation will be determined by the type of boiler, system, and placement in your home.


On the day 

Depending on the complexity of the work, a boiler installation typically takes 1-3 days to complete. However, most simple like-for-like swaps can be completed in a single day. The installation process and duration are then determined by your needs. Some of the processes your installer may take when installing your new boiler are as follows:

 Removal of your previous boiler 

 Flush or clean your heating system 

 Any upgrades or changes to pipework 

 Fitting the new boiler 

 Any additional accessories 

 Commissioning of the system 

 The handover where we'll give you all the information you need for you new heating system

 Registration
