Boiler Installations in Liverpool

A: We highly recommend that you do. The vast majority of boiler manufacturers insist that their boilers are installed onto clean, flushed central heating systems. They will often attempt to avoid honouring their warranty if failures can be attributed to sludge/rust circulating in the system. We highly advise the system is power flushed thoroughly. We will always do a chemical flush. We will also use our MagnaCleanse system.

A: Absolutely. This is a legal requirement which must be completed by the installer. Gas Safe will subsequently supply you with documentation containing a certification that the work has been completed to building regulations and by a Gas Safe company. You will probably need this if you ever sell your home to document the boiler installation being legal.

A: Absolutely – all our boiler installations will include a magnetic filter. Particular boiler manufactures, for example, Worcester, insist that a magnetic filter is fitted on their boiler installations in order to obtain a 10-year warranty from Worcester Accredited Installers. Other boiler manufactures state you do not necessarily need to fit a filter, but it’s effectively accepted practise by all reputable installers. They help to maintain the lifespan of the boiler.

You can view how filters work by clicking the following link:

Essentially, they are a magnet which collects debris within the central heating system as it circulates around your system. It avoids the debris from entering your new boiler installation.

A: Absolutely. When your homes hot water or heating fails most people want a new boiler fitting quickly. Contact to see whether we can help you today.

A: Yes. We generally attempt to add a cleaning chemical to your system 3-5 days before the boiler is installed. Of course, this assumes that your current boiler is functioning and circulating correctly – the chemicals depend on the heat via you using the central heating system, for them to react. You must also use the heating – this can be a little annoying, especially during the summertime when you usually wouldn’t have the heating on.

If your current boiler isn’t functioning, we could either power flush the system before the new boiler is fitted or, worst case, we would clean the system once the new boiler is installed.

Once the new boiler is installed and commissioned, we would add inhibitor to the system. This chemical remains in the central heating system until it is next drained down.

The inhibitor provides protection for the central heating systems against limescale and general corrosion. It will extend the life of the system dramatically, ensuring maximum efficiency and minimising fuel usage keeping more money in your pocket.

A: No. Our boiler installation service is conducted by our directly employed gas engineers with years of experience.

A: All boilers we install are highly efficient, whether this is a conventional boiler (system boiler or regular boiler - with a hot water cylinder) or a combi boiler (heating and hot water). We offer many boiler brands to suit budget, including Worcester Bosch, Baxi, Ideal, Ravenheat, Alpha or ATAG. All these boilers are energy efficient saving you money in the long term. With regards to boiler size, most start at 24kw and step to larger KWs, for example, 28kw, 30kw, 32kw, 36kw and 40kw - each boiler manufacturer offers minor differences in relation to KW.

A: Absolutely - we are regulated by the financial conduct authority (FCA) and have a consumer lending license. Our monthly payment options can assist you in spreading the cost of a new combi boiler installation, or conventional gas boiler installation. View our specific finance options on our boiler finance page - this will list a full breakdown of various financial packages, such as buy now pay later or generic monthly finance. All our finance offerings are 0% interest-free and 0% deposit. Give us a call and we can explain our finance options and go through the necessary credit checks. Even with poor credit history, we may still be able to help.

A: If you are unsure about boiler replacement, we would need to inspect the boiler and diagnose the issue. Have a look at our boiler repair service.

A: In general, we say 1.5 - 3/4 days. It depends on the complexities of the installation and whether it's a straight combi replacement or boiler conversion.

Another complication is whether the gas pipe requires upsizing (you might know this as the boiler requires '22mm gas pipe to the boiler'). During the quotation, we can evaluate whether this is required. It is important that the new boiler is sufficiently gassed to the manufacturers' instructions. This is important for the safety and operation of the boiler.

We must also take into account the flue for the boiler. There are two flue options - horizontal and vertical. A vertical flue usually takes longer to fit, due to it flueing through the roof. Thus, as you can see, the time requirements can increase.

A: We have to seal the flue - this is part of the boiler installation job. However, any extra plastering or boxing in can be costed into the quotation should it be required.

When fitting a new flue, for example going from a balanced flue to a concentric flue (the flue most combi boilers use) it may require to be bricked up, due to the fact that the balanced flue is much larger in size, so we are required to brick up around the flue and seal it.

A: Yes - you can view boiler plus regulations at:

In the vast majority of our boiler installations, we comply by installing a compliant thermostat allowing you to control the temperature in your home.

There are other measures allowing you to comply with Boiler Plus, but they are generally more expensive than fitting a thermostat. Most customers want a thermostat too!
