Whether you are planning ahead or reviewing an unreliable heating system, start with what your home needs. Your existing setup, hot water demand and installation requirements all influence the right choice.
Understand the main boiler types
Combi boilers provide heating and hot water without a separate hot water cylinder. System boilers work with a cylinder, while regular boilers generally use a cylinder and additional water tanks. The best fit depends on your existing installation, available space and hot water needs.
Not sure which you have? Include the model name in your enquiry and discuss the setup with the team.
Look beyond the boiler
A quotation should explain the proposed equipment and the installation work. Ask about pipework, the flue, controls, system cleaning and removal of old equipment. Confirm which items are included and which may cost extra.
Review before you decide
- Boiler make, model and output
- Installation scope and exclusions
- Total price and payment terms
- Warranty and servicing conditions
- Expected schedule and handover support
Gas work must be carried out by an appropriately Gas Safe registered engineer. Check their registration and the work they are qualified to perform.
