New boilers, properly planned
The cheapest boiler is not always the best value, and the biggest boiler is rarely the right one. A boiler that is too small struggles to heat the house or keep up with showers; one that is too big cycles on and off and wastes gas. We start by understanding your home and how you use hot water, then recommend a boiler to suit.
Our installation process
Survey and advice
We look at the property, the existing boiler and pipework, the radiators, the hot water arrangement and where the flue and condensate pipe can go. We ask how many people live there, how many bathrooms you have and how you like to use your heating.
A clear quote
You get a written quote that explains what is included – the boiler, flue, controls, any system clean or filter, and any extra work such as moving the boiler or changing radiators. If there is more than one sensible option, we will set them out side by side.
Installation day
We protect floors and furniture, remove the old boiler and fit the new one, flush or clean the system where needed, and commission the boiler to the manufacturer’s instructions. We show you how to use the controls before we leave.
Paperwork and warranty
New gas boiler installations must be notified under the Building Regulations. We explain what paperwork you will receive and what you need to do to keep the manufacturer’s warranty valid.
Boilers for Tynedale homes
Homes around Hexham vary enormously – from Victorian stone terraces in the town centre to farmhouses, converted barns and modern estates. Thick stone walls, extensions and long pipe runs all affect what boiler will work best, and where it can sensibly go. That local knowledge matters when you are choosing a boiler you will live with for many years.
Off the gas grid?
Parts of rural Tynedale have no mains gas supply. If your home uses oil or LPG, tell us when you get in touch and we will let you know honestly whether it is something we can help with.
Already have a boiler that keeps breaking down? Read about repair or replace before you decide.
What we look at before recommending a boiler
- Size of the home and number of radiators
- Number of bathrooms and showers
- Mains water pressure and flow rate
- Your existing system and hot water cylinder
- Where the boiler and flue can go
- Condition of pipework and radiators
- Heating controls and smart thermostats
- Your budget and how long you plan to stay
What affects the price of a new boiler
- Type of boiler A like-for-like combi swap is usually simpler than converting from a regular system with tanks.
- Boiler size and model Output and the make and model you choose both affect the price.
- Moving the boiler Relocating it to another room, or into a loft, adds pipework and flue work.
- Flue route Some homes need longer or more complex flue routes to meet the regulations.
- System condition Older systems may need cleaning, a magnetic filter or replacement radiators.
- Controls Upgrading thermostats or adding smart controls.
