There are many important considerations when choosing a new boiler
Choosing the right make and model of boiler
Without expert help and advice, this can be a minefield. There are as many choices of boilers on the market as there are choices of motor cars.
Some boilers may seem very attractive in terms of initial price, but don’t necessarily have the longevity and reliability you might expect.
We pride ourselves on always offering the very best, up to date advice.
Top brands of boiler can be reasonably expected to give very many years of reliable, trouble free service, while some other brands are not particularly noted for their long life expectancy.
Warranties can also be an area of ambiguity. Some boiler manufacturers offer “iron clad”, reliable guarantees that are backed up up with a customer friendly, “no quibble” approach. Other manufacturers give guarantees that are not as attractive as they first seem.
Before recommending any particular make and model of boiler, we look carefully at both the build quality of the product and the scope of the guarantee. We also take careful note of how manufacturers uphold their warranties.
Our core range features Worcester Bosch, Viessmann, Ideal Boilers & Vokera by Riello.
Choosing the right installers
Around 1.6 million replacement boilers are installed in Britain each and every year.
Sadly, around 50% of these installations are Sub Standard for one reason or another.
These faults range from clerical issues, such as the installer failing the register the warranty with the boiler manufacturer, right through to the boiler not being fitted in accordance with the boiler maker’s published installation instructions.
Failure to register the warranty or to fit the product correctly renders the warranty invalid.
With ever changing regulations it is vital that the installer is fully abreast of current legislation, otherwise your new boiler could prove to be a costly mistake.
We take great care to keep fully up to date with Gas Safety Regulations, Building Regulations and Boiler Plus Regulations.
That way, you can be sure that by choosing us to install your new boiler, all prevailing standards will be met or exceeded.
Buy online and save even more
Naturally, we can come out to do a site survey prior to giving you a quotation, but very often jobs are simpler than you might imagine. For example, if you already have a combi boiler and your new boiler is going in the same location, then usually a couple of photos sent from your phone or tablet will show us everything we need to see.
Give us a call and we’ll ask you a few questions about your existing boiler an we’ll ask you for a couple of specific photos of your current installation.
From there we can calculate an accurate quote and email it to you with a detailed job specification. Should you choose to move forward with us, we can complete the order online and you can pay either by PayPal or bank card through our PayPal card payment facility.
Paying via PayPal offers you additional protection and extra peace of mind.
