Boiler replacement

Replacing a boiler is a big spend, so Andrew starts by checking whether the old one can sensibly be repaired. If it is unsafe, beyond economic repair or parts are no longer available, he will explain why and recommend a replacement that suits the house.

Choosing the right boiler

The right boiler depends on the size of the property, how many bathrooms you have, the radiators, the flue position and whether you have a hot water cylinder. A combi suits many homes, while a house with higher demand may be better with a system or regular boiler and a cylinder. Andrew works with established makers such as Worcester Bosch, Baxi and Ideal.

Fitting and handover

Before the new boiler goes in, the system may need a power flush and a filter so it starts clean. Once it is fitted, the boiler is commissioned, notified to Building Control as the regulations require, and Andrew shows you how to use the controls.
