The Process of Installing a New Boiler

Everything you need to know about getting a new boiler installed in your East London home

Getting a new boiler installed is a significant investment in your home's heating system. As Gas Safe registered engineers with over 20 years of experience installing boilers throughout East London, we'll walk you through exactly what to expect during the installation process.

Initial Survey and Assessment

Before any installation begins, we conduct a thorough survey of your property. This helps us understand your heating requirements, assess your current system, and recommend the most suitable boiler for your home. We'll consider factors such as your property size, number of bathrooms, and hot water usage patterns to ensure you get the right boiler type and size.

Choosing Your New Boiler

As Baxi Accredited Installers, we specialise in fitting high-quality boilers from leading manufacturers including Baxi, Vaillant, ATAG, and Ideal. We'll explain the benefits of different models and help you choose one that matches both your requirements and budget. Our instant estimate tool can provide you with an initial quote for your new boiler installation.

Preparation for Installation Day

Once you've chosen your boiler, we'll schedule a convenient installation date. We recommend clearing the area around your existing boiler and providing clear access to your property. Our engineers will lay protective coverings to ensure your home remains clean throughout the installation process.

The Installation Process

A typical boiler installation takes between 1-3 days, depending on the complexity of the work required. Here's what we do:

  1. Remove your old boiler and associated components
  2. Flush your heating system to remove any debris or sludge
  3. Install your new boiler and any required upgrades to pipework
  4. Fit essential components such as filters and scale reducers to protect your new system
  5. Connect and test all controls, including any smart thermostats

Testing and Commissioning

After installation, we thoroughly test your new heating system to ensure everything works perfectly. This includes:

  • Checking all gas connections for safety
  • Testing water pressure and flow rates
  • Ensuring all radiators heat up correctly
  • Programming your controls to your preferences
  • Conducting final safety checks

Handover and Documentation

Before we leave, we'll demonstrate how to use your new boiler and controls effectively. You'll receive all necessary documentation, including your warranty information and Gas Safe certification. We'll also register your boiler with the manufacturer to activate your warranty.

Aftercare Support

Our service doesn't end with installation. We're available for any follow-up questions and offer annual servicing to maintain your boiler's efficiency and warranty.
