How to choose a boiler installer

Replacing your boiler is always a wise move, whether it’s due to you being fed up with it constantly breaking down, or simply wanting to become energy efficient. With the right boiler you can save over £300 a year, whilst ensuring your home is eco-friendly.

Don’t rush any decision though. Replacing your boiler is important, but it’s also vital to take the time to consider your options and make the right choice.

So how can you go about making a good decision?

Compare quotes

Replacing your boiler may not be the most expensive thing you can do in your home, but it’s still not exactly cheap. You’ll only do it once every 10 or so years, making it important to get it right. By comparing boiler engineers you can save up to 75% and this is the best way to get competitive prices and value for money.

Get recommendations and referrals

There’s not a better way to finding out how good a company is than by speaking to their previous customers. If you have any friends or family members that have recently replaced their boiler, ask them for feedback.

Do your homework

Whichever boiler installer you choose, make sure they have the right qualifications and competencies. A badly installed boiler can be life threatening so it’s simply not worth the risk. Problems range from carbon monoxide leaks, to fires and even explosions. All boiler companies we recommend have been vetted and hold the appropriate qualifications.

Get a warranty

If you buy a new car then you’ll want a warranty, so why expect anything different with a boiler. Warranties and guaranties help protect you against any unforeseen problems and ensure you don’t have to pay out for any repairs.

Also make sure to get a full written quote for the work you want completed. Make sure everything the professional is doing is written down, along with a breakdown of the full price. That way you both know what has been agreed and there won’t be any problems.

Once the boiler has been installed, the professional will take you through how to use the boiler and leave a full set of instructions.
