Here at Ableforce services we have complied a selection of the most commonly asked questions that we receive from customers prior to a new boiler installation and have provided the answers so you can make an educated decision when it comes to choosing which new boiler is right for you.
If anyone who does try to install a boiler without the relevant qualifications may be putting their home and family at serious risk.
Even though you may think that you are capable and handy with tools, this is a job that should most defiantly be left to the professionals, such as the highly qualified engineers available through Ableforce services.
A combi boiler may not be the right boiler option for homes with a high demand of hot water as they may not be powerful enough to fulfil the demand and needs. If you live in a larger home with many bathrooms a system boiler may be a more appropriate option for you.
If you have your concerns that you need to save space in your home and want to combine your heating and hot water in to one compact system then a combi boiler could be the best option for you. Unlike other types of boiler systems such as conventional and system, a combi boiler will control your central heating from one unit. This means the taps should always run hot water relatively soon after they have been turned on as you don’t have to wait for a water cylinder to heat up.
The location of your current boiler may influence what replacement boilers are most suitable. You can choose to change the location of your new boiler when installing, but it’s important to be aware that this could come at added cost. If you want to keep the price of your new boiler replacement down, then it is better to get the new boiler installed in the same location as your old one. You can install your boiler in most rooms in a house as long as the property’s pipework will allow you do so. Many people choose to have their boiler installed within the kitchen or inside a cupboard.
Having a different type of boiler could be more disruptive and take longer to install. For example, it is much quicker to swap a combi boiler with another combi boiler than it is to swap a system boiler with a new combi boiler.
Once you have established your central heating needs and know the type of boiler you would like, the next step is to decide on the boiler make and model.
The cost of a new boiler installation generally varies greatly depending on your circumstances and which boiler you want to have installed. In this section we have explained some of the components that go into determining the price of your new boiler installation.
The cost of the boiler installation usually includes everything you need: the boiler itself, removal of the old one, and any charges for flushing the old system, doing plumbing work and moving pipes. Be sure to check what is included as part of your installation with us.
Here are some examples of such reasons which are likely to increase the boiler installation cost.
If you are replacing one type of boiler for a different one (e.g. a conventional to a combi boiler, or vice versa) there will be significantly more work involved in changing them over. You can consequently expect a higher cost for your installation than you would if you were replacing your old boiler with one of the same type.
