Why get a new boiler?

If you’ve had your boiler for a long time, especially if it’s 15 years old or more, it may be time to upgrade to a more efficient one.

The main reason is because new boilers are much more energy efficient. All new boilers must have an energy rating of A – the highest possible – meaning they are incredibly efficient. You’ll save money on your energy bill, and help reduce the carbon footprint of your home.

Plus, new boilers are safer and more reliable than older ones. A new model is less likely to break down or have problems.

Getting a new boiler installed

With Hitech HVAC Supply, you can compare the cost of a new boiler. Our boiler quotes include the price of the boiler, installation, and replacement of the old boiler, so you can see the total cost upfront.

If you’re getting a boiler replaced, the installation should go like this:

• The installer will remove your old boiler
• They’ll then flush or clean your system
• They’ll fit your new boiler, along with any new pipework or equipment
• They’ll test it and complete any necessary paperwork
• Once all the work is finished, they should show you how to operate and check the boiler

Either you or the installer will need to register the boiler with the boiler manufacturer – that way, you can ensure the warranty is valid.

A simple replacement combi boiler usually only takes a day to fit. However, if it’s a more complex installation – for example, you’re switching boiler type, moving the boiler to a new room, or upgrading your radiators – it could take two or more days.
