Whilst we tend to take boilers for granted in our homes, these units perform a critical function throughout the year!
At the same time, installing a brand-new boiler represents a significant investment, and one that can cost you up to £3,000 in some instances.
With this in mind, you need to make careful and informed decisions when managing your boiler installation, and there are several important tips to keep in mind. Here are some of the most important:
Don’t Rule Out Premium Boilers
If you’re operating within a budget, you may be discouraged from buying a premium boiler unit from an established brand.
This can represent a false economy, however, as purchasing the best boilers enables you to benefit from superior engineering and extended warranties in some instances.
Premium, A-rated boilers also operate at more than 90% efficiency, so they deliver long-term savings that more than offset the installation cost over time. In fact, if you upgrade from an old, non-condensing boiler that operates at 70% efficiency, you can save between £200 and £300 each and every year.
Look Out for Approved Installers
If you’ve decided on a particular brand or make of boiler unit, it’s also worth keeping your eyes peeled for approved installers.
These companies forge partnerships with specific boiler brands, whilst earning an accreditation that enables them to offer extended warranties on the very best models.
Here at Tim Reynolds, we’re approved installers for stellar brands such as Vaillant and Glowworm, so there’s ample opportunity to secure a robust manufacturers’ warranty through us!
Work Out Where You Want the Boiler to be Positioned
On a final note, you’ll need to determine the precise location of your boiler before proceeding with the installation.
Your chosen engineers can help with this, by recommending the best possible locations depending on the size of your home and the exact type of heating system that you’ve chosen to install.
Typically, modern boilers are now installed in kitchen or utility room cupboards, in order to position them in a convenient and accessible location that can also be easily concealed.
