Upgrading your home’s central heating system is one of the most effective ways to improve comfort, energy efficiency and property value.

Quotes are typically no-obligation, giving you the chance to consider your options.
On the day of installation, your old unit will be safely disconnected and removed. Your installer will follow all safety regulations, ensuring gas and water supplies are managed correctly. This part of the process may also include removing old tanks or unused pipework.
Your new boiler will be fitted, and all necessary pipework and controls will be connected. Depending on the complexity, installation can take from one to three days. Modern systems often include smart heating controls, which can be set up at the same time.
Your engineer will also flush and clean the system to remove any debris or build-up, helping your new boiler run as efficiently as possible from day one.
Once installed, your heating engineer will test the system thoroughly to make sure it’s working correctly. This includes:
You’ll receive a full handover with instructions, documentation, and information about ongoing maintenance.
Your installer will register your boiler with the manufacturer to activate your warranty, and with Gas Safe (if applicable) for legal certification. You’ll also be advised on recommended servicing and aftercare to extend the life of your new system.
When replacing your boiler, it’s essential to work with a fully qualified gas engineer or plumbing expert. A poorly installed unit can lead to safety issues, lower performance and higher bills.
