What happens during boiler installation What good would a boiler installation guide be without letting you know what happens beforehand, on the day, and after a boiler fitting? Any engineer (and ours are excellent, by the way) will try to make the process as simple as possible. They’ll cover carpets and surfaces, bring the suitable materials, and start working safely and efficiently while adhering to all legislation. Doing the job right means they’ll leave no trace of their visit, except maybe a few biscuit crumbs if you spoil them. 1. Before work begins Your engineer will first check a few things with you, such as how many radiators you have, your water pressure, the number of bathrooms in your home, and the positioning of the boiler. 2. On the day If it’s a straightforward swap — e.g. combi for combi — you should expect the engineer to be done and dusted within the day. It’s worth bearing in mind that if it’s a much older boiler system or you’re changing the boiler type, complications may prolong the installation. Once fitted, you’ll need to be around for a run-through of the new boiler controls. 3. How much will it cost? Boiler installations aren’t always cheap. They depend on whether it’s a primary like-for-like switch to a newer model or a complete system change with Powerflushes and additional pipework. Make sure you get a quote upfront to avoid any nasty surprises. And don’t forget, you can always get a free quote from us to help you begin your new boiler journey. 4. Getting the correct documentation To comply with building regulations. Be sure to query this if it doesn’t happen. 5. What happens after installation? Most reputable companies offer a guarantee on their services, and here at Elterm London, we offer up to a 12-month warranty on our installations. These terms may vary from business to business, so always check before agreeing to the work. If you’re concerned about the safety of your new boiler installation or think your engineer has done a bad job, follow up with them immediately. They’re obliged to correct any problems they’ve created. You shouldn't have to worry if you’ve hired an Elterm London engineer. And that’s it in a nutshell! Hopefully, you feel a bit more knowledgeable about your boiler installation now, but if you still have any questions, our heating advisers are on hand to help.
