What to Consider Before Installing a New Boiler 

Below, we've created a list of the things you should consider before making the purchase! If you'd like to get in touch with us, our contact details are at the bottom of this post. 

Size and Location of Your New Boiler

Nowadays, boilers are a lot smaller and quieter. The size, however, means that you can now store your boiler in much more hidden spaces in your property. Anyhow, new condensing boilers produce a cloud of steam through the flue when they are turned on and in operation. You must think about where exactly this cloud of steam will filter through. For example, you have to consider your neighbours and their property. You could also consider if the cloud of steam will filter back through a window into your home. In addition to this, size has a huge impact as it depends entirely on the space you have to be able to accommodate a boiler of different sizes. Before making a purchase on a new boiler, you should consider the space in your home where you could install the boiler. 

Different Boiler Manufacturers 

All boiler manufacturers offer different advantages and benefits for installing their boilers; you should also consider which pros and cons of different boiler types accommodate your needs and demands for your home. In regards to the different boiler manufacturers, each brand has its own selling points; this includes the likes of Baxi with their combinational boilers which typically come with a 10 Year no-catch guarantee for your peace of mind. Whereas, Glow-worm are well known for offering very low prices against their competition. Whatever the boiler manufacturer, you should find out more about their benefits and advantages and also the type of boilers they offer. 

Additional Things to Consider 

There's plenty of considerations when purchasing a new boiler. On top of the points made above, you should also conduct your own research both online and offline to find out exactly which boiler will be the best choice for you and your home. As a new boiler is a huge investment, it's important to make this research and be well informed on boilers before buying. 

Reliability 

In the long run, a reliable boiler can save you a significant amount of money, particularly on any unanticipated repair costs that may arise. Our gas engineers will gladly recommend several reliable boilers! From budget to mid-range & luxury models. When Shoreline Plumbing, Heating & Gas install a boiler, you can also schedule an annual boiler service to ensure its reliability throughout its lifetime. 

Installation Timeframe  

Depending on the amount of work involved, the installation of your new boiler could take between one and five days. This is an essential consideration, especially if you want your new boiler installed quickly. Our boiler installers always recommend having your boiler installed during the summer, when your household will use less hot water, due to the time required.
