We match you with installers who offer competitive pricing, honest advice on which boiler suits your property, and a workmanship guarantee on every installation.
When Is It Time for a New Boiler?
Most gas boilers have a working life of 10 to 15 years. As they age, they lose efficiency, break down more frequently, and become increasingly expensive to repair. If your boiler repair bills are mounting up, or your engineer has told you that parts are no longer available for your model, replacement is usually the more sensible investment. A modern condensing boiler can achieve efficiency ratings of 90% or higher, compared to 60-70% for older non-condensing units. That difference translates directly into lower gas bills — often by several hundred pounds per year.
Choosing the right boiler depends on several factors: the size of your property, the number of bathrooms, your hot water demand, and where the boiler will be sited. Combi boilers are the most popular choice in the UK because they heat water on demand without needing a separate hot water cylinder, making them ideal for smaller to medium-sized homes. System boilers work with a cylinder and are better suited to larger properties with multiple bathrooms where several taps or showers may run at once.
The engineers in our network are experienced with all major boiler brands — Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, Ideal, Glow-worm, and Viessmann among others. They will carry out a full survey of your property, recommend the right type and size of boiler, and provide a detailed written quote. If your central heating system needs upgrading at the same time — for example, if radiators need replacing or the system needs flushing — that can be included in the same project.
How Boiler Installation Works
Home Survey
A Gas Safe engineer visits your property to assess your heating requirements. They check the size of your home, the number of bathrooms, your current pipework, flue position, and hot water usage to recommend the most suitable boiler type and output rating.
Detailed Quote
You receive a written quote covering the boiler, all materials, labour, and any additional work such as relocating the boiler, upgrading the flue, or modifying pipework. The quote is fully itemised so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Installation Day
On the agreed date, your engineer removes the old boiler and installs the new unit. This includes connecting gas, water, and electrics, fitting a new flue if required, and integrating with your existing heating controls or upgrading to a smart thermostat. Most installations are completed in a single day.
Testing and Handover
Your engineer runs a full set of safety checks — gas tightness, flue flow, water pressure, and ignition — before handing the boiler over to you. They walk you through the controls, register the manufacturer warranty, and provide all necessary paperwork including the Gas Safe notification.
