Boiler and Central Heating Installation

A boiler and central heating installation involves safely removing an old system, flushing and cleaning the new system's pipework, fitting the new boiler according to manufacturer instructions, and commissioning it to ensure it works safely and efficiently. A Gas Safe registered engineer performs the installation, ensuring all components are correctly connected, safety devices are checked, and the system is registered. 

Steps in Boiler and Central Heating Installation

  1. Removal of the Old System

    • The installer will start by safely removing your existing boiler. 

    • The old system's water is drained from the pipes and radiators. 

  2. System Preparation

    • Flushing and Cleaning: The pipework is thoroughly flushed to remove any debris or blockages, ensuring a clean start for the new system. 

    • Pipework Upgrades: Any necessary upgrades or changes to the existing pipework are made to accommodate the new boiler. 

  3. New Boiler Fitting

    • The new boiler is fitted according to the manufacturer's strict instructions to ensure the warranty remains valid. 

    • This includes making sure gas pipes and electrical connections are properly installed and available. 

  4. System Commissioning

    • The new system is commissioned to ensure all components are working correctly. 

    • This involves checking the gas pressure, inspecting the flue for blockages and safety, and verifying that the system is free from leaks. 

  5. Safety and Registration

    • Safety Checks: The engineer checks all safety devices and performs safety inspections, including checks for carbon monoxide leaks. 

    • Registration: The new boiler is registered with the relevant authorities. 

  6. Handover

    • You receive a handover, which includes instructions on how to use your new boiler and its controls. 

Important Considerations

  • Gas Safe Registration:

    Only Gas Safe registered engineers can legally install and service gas boilers in the UK. Always ask to see their Gas Safe ID card. 

  • Manufacturer Guidelines:

    Installation must follow manufacturer guidelines for the warranty to be valid. 

  • Comprehensive Service:

    A full boiler installation service should include a full flush and clean to ensure optimal efficiency.
