How long does it take to install a new boiler?

The time required to install a new central heating boiler can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the installation, the type of boiler being installed, the condition of the existing system, and the size of the property. On average, a boiler installation can take anywhere from 1 to 3 days.

• Combi boilers provide hot water on demand without the need for separate tanks, making them space-saving and efficient. They are suitable for smaller homes.
• System boilers incorporate a separate hot water cylinder but don't require a cold water storage tank. They can supply hot water to multiple outlets simultaneously.
• Heat-only boilers require both a hot water cylinder and a cold water storage tank. They are suitable for larger properties and older heating systems.

A powerflush is a method of removing dirt and debris from your heating system. Sludge will build up in your radiators and create cold spots.This means your boiler will work harder to heat your radiators and your home and use more gas to achieve this.

When you powerflush your central heating system this helps extend the lifespan of the boiler due to the boiler not working so hard to heat your property. A boiler that is working harder than it should could result in expensive breakdown repairs.
