Boiler Installation

Firstly, you can take advantage of our free no-obligation quote so you can see how much the boiler installation will roughly cost. We never surprise you with any additional fees or hidden costs as we are dedicated to providing you with a 100% trustworthy service.

For boiler installations Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, and throughout South Wales, our local, friendly Gas Safe and OFTEC-registered engineers carry out a detailed survey of your home or commercial building.

As every domestic and commercial property is different, installation costs will vary to reflect the differences. We will advise you on the estimates, as well as provide any other important information about our installation process. Our specialist boiler installation engineer will then provide an accurate schedule for your boiler installation.

After one of our engineers has carried out the installation, our engineer will then register your boiler as Gas Safe registered. You will then receive a certificate which is a legal requirement for any boiler in any property.

As we have mentioned and stressed earlier, we advise that if your boiler is approaching the 10-year mark, then you should really be looking into investing in a new boiler. Even if an old boiler is still functioning, the older the boiler becomes, the more likely a boiler will encounter faults which can end up costing you money. There are however common signs that you can pick up on that will signal that you are in need of replacing your old boiler with a new and improved one. Here are the signs below:

Strange Noises

When boilers start to age, they tend to begin making odd and weird noises. This is because the parts within the boiler will start to wear out, and even though you have the option of just replacing worn out parts, it is much more cost-effective to replace a boiler than to have to keep on replacing old parts. If you hear hissing, popping or knocking sounds, then you should call us so one of our specialist engineers can come and examine your boiler.

Your Boiler Is Leaking

If you encounter any sort of leak coming from your boiler, then you should call a boiler engineer immediately. This is because water could end up damaging your home or business, which means you will end up having to pay for repairs. Also, a boiler leak could end up developing into a carbon monoxide leak which could become a major health risk for your family or to employees in your area of work.

The Water Temperature Fluctuates

If the hot water in your home or commercial building is taking a while to warm up, or running hot and cold water irregularly, then this may be an indication that your boiler is on its way out. In some cases, repairs may be enough to handle the situation, however, if you find that you need to repair it more than once, the best solution is to opt for a new boiler.

Frequent Repairs

With any type of boiler, old or new, your boiler should be having an annual boiler service carried out by a professional and qualified engineer. In these cases, repairs may be appropriate, but if the boiler is in need of constant repairing, then the sensible solution is to have it replaced.

As your boiler is the key and most important part of your central heating system within your home or business, you should always ensure that your boiler is functioning efficiently. If you have an outdated boiler that is causing you heating problems, then you should start looking into replacing it with a new boiler. Here are some of the benefits of having a new boiler:

• Improved energy efficiency – New boilers are much more energy-efficient than older outdated boilers. Older boilers will be less energy efficient, which means they use up much more energy than the required amount to heat up your property. A new boiler on the other hand will help reduce your heating bills as they are optimised for efficiency which means less fuel required to heat your property.
• Sophisticated heating control – New boilers will have heating controllers for TRVs and room thermostats, which will allow you to set temperatures separately in each room.
• Much quieter – Due to updated designs with the use of smarter features and better materials, new boilers are much quieter than older boilers.
• Smaller in size – Older boilers are generally large and often take up a lot of room. Unlike older boilers, new boilers are much smaller, allowing more storage space in your home.

With any type of boiler, old or new, your boiler should be having an annual boiler service carried out by a professional and qualified engineer. In these cases, repairs may be appropriate, but if the boiler is in need of constant repairing, then the sensible solution is to have it replaced.

When looking to install a new boiler, the prospect of having access to hot water and heating may convince you to rush into this process. Although it is advisable to act with a sense of urgency, having a new boiler installed without discussing the most appropriate type and size for your home could lead to further problems down the line.
