Initial Consultation and Assessment

The installation process begins with a comprehensive consultation conducted by a qualified heating engineer. This crucial step involves a thorough evaluation of your property's heating requirements, taking into account factors such as the building's size, the number of heat emitters, and your household's hot water demand. This detailed assessment forms the foundation for selecting the most appropriate boiler for your needs.

Following the assessment, your engineer will present various boiler options, including combination, system, and conventional models. They will provide a professional analysis of each type's benefits, considering factors such as energy efficiency, performance, and long-term cost-effectiveness. This consultation ensures you make an informed decision that aligns with your specific requirements and budget.

Pre-Installation Preparations

Once you've selected your new boiler, our team will schedule the installation at a convenient time. Prior to the installation date, we'll provide you with a detailed checklist of preparations. This may include ensuring clear access to the installation area and making arrangements for any temporary disruptions to your heating and hot water supply.

On the day of installation, our engineers will begin by safely decommissioning and removing your existing boiler. This process involves properly draining the system and disposing of the old unit in full compliance with current environmental regulations.

New Boiler Installation

With the old system removed, our certified engineers will proceed with the installation of your new boiler. This process encompasses several critical steps:

  • Precise positioning and secure mounting of the new unit
  • Professional connection to the gas supply, ensuring absolute safety
  • Expert integration with existing pipework and radiators
  • Installation of any necessary new components or controls
  • Meticulous electrical connections in line with current regulations

Throughout the installation, our team adheres strictly to all relevant safety standards and building regulations, ensuring a high-quality, compliant installation.

System Testing and Optimisation

Following the physical installation, our engineers conduct a series of rigorous tests to verify the system's functionality and safety. These tests include:

  • Comprehensive gas safety checks
  • Thorough pressure testing of the entire system
  • Fine-tuning of the boiler for optimal efficiency
  • Verification of all safety devices and controls

Any necessary adjustments are made at this stage to ensure your new heating system operates at peak performance.

Final Handover

The final phase of the installation process involves a detailed handover. Our engineers will:

  • Provide a comprehensive demonstration of your new heating system
  • Explain all controls and features in detail
  • Offer professional advice on efficient operation and maintenance
