Factors to consider when installing a new boiler:
Since a boiler installation is a significant investment, it is essential to consider several factors before making a decision. Here are the key points to keep in mind:
Boiler Size (kW Output): The size of a boiler refers to its power output, measured in kilowatts (kW). It determines the capacity of the boiler to meet your heating and hot water demands. Our user-friendly boiler quote tool is designed to help you choose the best boiler for your home in under 60 seconds. By considering factors such as the size of your property, the number of radiators, and your hot water requirements, we can recommend the appropriate boiler size for optimal performance and energy efficiency.
Boiler Relocation: If you wish to relocate your boiler to a different location within your property, please note that this may incur additional costs. Relocating a boiler involves moving the pipework and installing a new flue, which requires extra labor, materials, and time. Our team can provide expert advice on the feasibility and cost implications of relocating your boiler, helping you make an informed decision. To find out more, read our blog on how much it costs to move a boiler here.
Installation Time: The duration of a boiler installation varies depending on factors such as the complexity of the installation and the type of boiler being fitted. A regular combi swap, where the old combi boiler is replaced with a new one in the same location, typically takes around a day to complete. However, if you are converting from one boiler type to another (e.g., from a combi to a system boiler), it may require up to two days for the necessary modifications and adjustments.
