Cheshire Plumbing and Gas Boiler Installations
How Do I Know if I Need a New Boiler?
- Your current boiler is over ten years old, which means it is not as efficient as it could be.
- Your current boiler has not had a service in a while, meaning it probably needs an in-depth analysis and possible replacement parts.
- Your current boiler is no longer working!
What Happens When a New Boiler is Installed?
Once you have decided you need a new boiler and you know which one you need, then the next stage is getting it fitted and installed.
CPG will arrange a time when the new boiler can be fitted and I will go through the process.
The various stages of having a new boiler installed includes having a survey undertaken so the you know which boiler will be suitable for you and your home.
Later stages include removing the old boiler; fitting and installing the new one; checking all pipework and radiators in the home are working; and of course I always clear up the mess afterwards, which I always keep to a minimum.
How Much Does It Cost?
This is our most frequently asked question, and understandably so!
A new boiler is a considerable financial investment and it a necessary one for the majority of people.
Boiler installs can vary from around £1800 including VAT to around £4000 including VAT. That is just a approx figure as there can be quite a few variables ie new controls, radiators etc.
The main piece of advice is: don’t cut corners with it. A new boiler should last you many years and it is always worth spending as much as you can afford on it.
How Long Does It Take?
Again, it depends on the type of boiler, its capacity and if any additional works need to be carried out. A new boiler can be fitted in as little as a day. A system which needs overhauling will take longer and I can always provide a guide as to the timescale.
What Happens When the New Boiler is in Place?
I will check the new boiler, pipework, radiators, taps and thermostat are working. I will also alert the local authorities that I have installed a new gas appliance. You will need a gas certificate too which I will provide. I also provide a benchmark certificate and there will be details about the boiler’s warranty provided at the completion of the fitting and installation process.
What Happens Once the Boiler is Fitted?
I will give you a full demonstration as to how the boiler works. If you have ANY questions, all you need to do is call me.
Are There Any Safety Precautions I Need to Take?
As with all gas boilers and radiators, there is the pressure to consider along with water temperature. These will be set before I leave your premises.
