* Obtain quotes from multiple installers to compare costs and services. Ensure the quotes include the price of the boiler, installation, and any additional components or upgrades needed.
* Choose a boiler based on your needs, budget, and the recommendations of our installer. Consider factors like energy efficiency, warranty, and brand reputation.

* Schedule regular maintenance for your new boiler to keep it operating efficiently and safely. This can include annual servicing to clean and inspect the unit.
Having your boiler serviced regularly is important
* A well-maintained boiler is less likely to pose safety hazards. Regular servicing helps identify and address potential issues like gas leaks, carbon monoxide leaks, or faulty electrical components that can endanger your home and occupants.
* Regular servicing ensures your boiler operates efficiently. A clean and well-maintained boiler consumes less fuel, reducing your energy bills. This is not only cost-effective but also better for the environment.
* Servicing can extend the lifespan of your boiler. Components that are well-maintained are less likely to fail prematurely, reducing the need for costly repairs or early replacements.
* Many boiler warranties require annual servicing to remain valid. Neglecting maintenance may void your warranty, leaving you responsible for costly repairs.
* Routine servicing can catch minor issues before they escalate into major problems. This can prevent unexpected breakdowns and costly emergency repairs.
* A well-serviced boiler provides consistent and efficient heating in your home, ensuring comfort during cold weather.
* Boiler servicing includes checking for carbon monoxide leaks, a deadly gas that is odorless and colorless. Detecting and addressing these leaks is essential for the safety of your household.
* An efficiently operating boiler reduces energy consumption, which, in turn, reduces your carbon footprint and environmental impact.
* While maintenance has a cost, it is generally far less expensive than dealing with major repairs or replacing the entire boiler. It can save you money in the long run.
To ensure your boiler operates safely and efficiently, it’s recommended to schedule annual servicing with a qualified heating engineer or technician who can inspect, clean, and fine-tune your boiler.
