Installation Questions
How long will it take?
A standard boiler replacement of the same type of boiler should in most situations take one day. If you are looking to convert a boiler from a System/Conventional boiler to a Combi boiler it may take up to two days. These are general time frames depending on any other complications such as the need to replace all gas pipes, etc.
Will you take away my old boiler?
Yes. We will take away your old boiler unless you tell us not to.Will you take away my hot water cylinder?
If you are converting your System/Conventional boiler into a Combi boiler then we will remove your old hot water cylinder. If you wish to keep it, just let the engineers know at the start of day of installation.What do I need to do before the installation?
Not too much, just clear the surrounding area around the boiler and hot water cylinder. The engineers will need access to those locations. Also it would be helpful to know where the Main fuse box is, and also where the gas and water mains control valves are.Will I need to stay at home all day?
No you won’t have to. You just need to have someone to let us in on the morning of the installation and also a set of spare keys as the engineers will need to go back to the van frequently at the beginning.Will I have hot water?
We expect most installations to be completed in one day, or at most two days. Unfortunately during the installation process you will not have access to hot water throughout. We try our very best to minimize disruptions.Will I have electricity / gas / cold water?
We try our best to minimize disruptions. You will have access to electricity / gas / cold water throughout the installation process, however there maybe brief periods of time where we need to shut off each of these amenities around the areas that work is being performed on.Will the engineer show me how to use my new boiler/thermostat?
Of course we will! Before the engineers leave, they will show you how to use your new boiler and thermostat. The topics generally covered will be about how to set the timers for both central heating and hot water. They will also show you how to fill the water pressure of the radiators to keep it running smoothly.
