When getting a new boiler installation done, you must be mindful of a few things. This helps everything to go efficiently and that you are secure for any maintenance or support. Let's look at some of the things you will need to think about before hiring a professional to install your boiler.
There are numerous options, and each will have advantages and disadvantages, so it's better to conduct your research and find the best brand to buy.
- New Boiler Installation
If you're buying a boiler, find out if the warranty is contingent on who does the new boiler installation for you. Some businesses stipulate that their warranty is only valid if you agree to get the new boiler installation from their installers. If you choose to locate your installer, ensure that the engineer is Gas Safe registered.
- Location of your Home
If you are thinking of installing a new boiler in your home, think about where it will go. Many individuals keep their boiler in their kitchen or a cabinet. It will also be much less expensive if fixed where your old boiler was, as no additional plumbing is needed. Determine the location of the boiler flue in your home. It will release plumes from a hole in the wall or the roof. The flue must be 30 centimetres away from a window or door due to the gases it releases.
- Correct Pipes
The pipes that run from your gas meter to your boiler should be at least 22mm in diameter. Larger boilers may require larger pipes, which your installer should be able to determine if extra-long pipes are needed.
- Safety Certificate
Your new boiler should be registered with Gas Safe by the professional who installs it. They will then give you a Gas Safe certificate, which you should maintain in a secure location. If you wish to sell your house or file a warranty claim, this paperwork will come in handy.
You must also hire a qualified and knowledgeable expert to carry out the process. WPJ offers high-quality boiler installation services.
