Boiler Upgrade

What a boiler upgrade service covers

A boiler upgrade is more than swapping a box on the wall. The work is planned to keep your heating and hot water reliable, efficient, and compliant.

• Assessment of your current boiler, pipework, controls, and hot water setup
• Advice on suitable boiler options and system compatibility
• Safe isolation and removal of the existing boiler
• Installation of the new boiler and required components (for example filters, valves, flue parts)
• Connection to heating and hot water, then filling, venting, and testing
• Commissioning and performance checks to manufacturer requirements
• Gas Safe and Building Regulations compliance, with the relevant certification
• Handover guidance on controls and day-to-day operation

When a boiler upgrade is the right choice

A boiler replacement is usually most worthwhile when:

• Your current boiler is breaking down regularly or parts are hard to source
• Heating and hot water are inconsistent, noisy, or slow to respond
• Running costs are rising and you want a more efficient setup
• You are renovating, extending, or changing bathrooms and hot water demand
• You are a landlord or business that needs predictable, compliant heating

What to expect during the installation

The service typically follows a clear sequence:

1. A check of the existing system and a plan for the new boiler position, flue route, and condensate drain
2. Isolation and removal of the old boiler, with protection for nearby areas
3. Installation of the new boiler and any upgrades needed for safety and performance
4. System preparation where required (for example cleaning or adding inhibitor)
5. Commissioning, safety testing, and set-up of time and temperature controls
6. Final sign-off and certification

Timing depends on the condition and complexity of your system, but the aim is to complete the changeover efficiently and keep disruption controlled.

After the upgrade: keeping performance high

Once installed, the next steps are about long-term reliability. You will be shown how to use the controls properly, and you can plan routine servicing to protect efficiency, safety, and any manufacturer warranty requirements.
