When it comes to a gas boiler installation, it’s crucial to remember that installing a new boiler isn’t always a straightforward like-for-like exchange. In certain situations, you may need to relocate your boiler, upgrade to a new system, or switch from an old boiler to a new combi.
As a result, the time it will take is determined by your specific circumstances. Having said that, this article will go through the normal installation timings and what you can anticipate at the very least.
A ‘like for like swap’ is the quickest boiler installation. Simply put, this refers to those who need to substitute their current boiler with a boiler of the same type. Remember, this doesn’t mean the new boiler has to be the same brand, but rather the same sort of technology.
So, if you have an older combi boiler that has to be replaced in the same spot with a new contemporary combi boiler, you’re in luck; a day is often all that’s required for a like-for-like exchange by a qualified heating engineer.
When estimating how long it will take to relocate a new boiler, engineers and surveyors will take the location into account. Moving a boiler to a new site generally necessitates the engineer changing the existing plumbing and sometimes installing new pipes as well.
If you are having a new boiler installed and it has to be put in a different place to where your current one is, then the installation could take up to three days. Sometimes it will take longer, depending on the complexity of the job.
