When is the best time to get a new boiler?
Winter
Ideal for last-minute replacements Having a dependable boiler is essential throughout the chilly winter months. It might be quite inconvenient and uncomfortable if your boiler malfunctions at this time. Therefore, winter may be the best time to purchase a new boiler if you need to replace one immediately. Nevertheless, bear in mind that engineers can be busier at this time and that there might be a greater need for boiler installations, which could result in lengthier wait times.
Spring
Spring is frequently a good time to think about installing or servicing a boiler. As a result of your decreased reliance on your heating system during milder weather, it will be simpler to schedule maintenance or a new boiler installation without interfering with your regular activities. Additionally, springtime is likely to be less hectic for engineers than the busiest winter months, resulting in quicker service and more flexible appointment times.
Summer
There are a number of reasons why the summer can be a great time to purchase a new boiler. First off, as heating needs decline, there is typically less demand for boiler installations during this time. As a result, engineers might be more available, letting you book an appointment when it's most convenient for you. Additionally, throughout the summer, certain businesses might offer special discounts or other promotions, which could reduce the cost of installing your new boiler.
Autumn
Autumn is another good time to think about getting a new boiler installed or getting your current boiler serviced. It's a good idea to check that your heating system is functioning at its best as the weather starts to chill off before winter. By taking care of any problems or replacing an outdated boiler in the autumn, you can be sure that your house will be warm and cosy when the winter weather arrives. Engineers are typically less busy during this time, similar to how they are in the spring, giving them more flexibility with their schedules.
How long would a new boiler installation take?
Getting your boiler replaced might take up to three days, and you will most likely be without heat throughout the procedure, so it is best to schedule it when you will not be using your boiler and will not be inconvenienced. When switching from a regular to a combi boiler, for example, the cold water tank and hot water cylinder must be removed. The procedure will also take longer if you require new components for your central heating system, such as radiators, which is why boiler installation might take up to three days.
The general timetable for a boiler installation is broken down as follows:
- Survey & Assessment: To choose the suitable boiler size and type, a full evaluation of your property and heating system is required.
- Pre-Installation Preparation: Purchasing a new boiler, assembling the necessary tools, and modifying the heating system as needed.
- Installation Day(s): Removal of the old boiler, installation of the new boiler, piping connections, and testing of functionality.
- Testing and commissioning: Extensive testing for system modifications, safety, and efficiency.
- Explanation and handover: Information on the warranty and how to operate and maintain your new boiler.
