Hello World! Welcome Friends! Are you ready to buy a new boiler for your home? First of all, great choice; boilers are one of those necessary comfort items that folks would not think they need unless they start using them. A boiler is a part of your home heating system and will ensure that you have sufficient hot water when required. One simply cannot go on without them, especially during those bone-chilling winter days. But before you go and shop for a new shiny boiler for the first time or to replace an existing one, there are a couple of things you need to keep in mind. Luckily to make this easier, we have created a list of seven stages of buying and fitting a boiler that will help you make the right choice. So, consider these before buying a new boiler.
1. Consultation
It shouldn’t really be surprising that the first stage of fitting a new or replacement boiler starts with a consultation. You need to first determine whether you actually need to have a replacement boiler or not. Now in case you have an already worn-off boiler, then the answer would most likely be yes on every occasion. But you still need to consult with a professional beforehand and also discuss the brands that are suitable for your price range.
2. Survey
It is an extension of the consultation phase. If you already have a professional handyman who will take care of the installation, that’s great. But if not, you need to find someone competent enough to do the installation and conduct a home survey. The purpose of this home survey is to give the owner recommendations depending on their current and future usage. It is essential that one must make this professional aware of any future plans regarding extensions they might have.
The professional doing the survey will also determine whether there is any need to change pipes for the heating system.
3. Learn About the Different Types of Boiler
If you’re not aware of this, then it is very crucial that you get familiar with the types of boilers present in the market. There are basically three different types of boilers: Combination, System, and finally, Regular boilers. They all are drastically different from one another, so learning about them and understanding which one is the best suited for your needs is the next stage.
4. Different Types of Boiler Controls
Now, if you have not used a boiler before, this might be something that could come as a bit of a surprise. But just like the different types of boilers, there are different types of boiler controls as well. The modern boilers, as one might expect, have a more advanced control system that enables one to better manage their system. In more conventional options, the only control one would have is the simple on-off switch – our recommendation: go for a modern boiler.
5. Purchasing a New Boiler
Once you have learned all about the different types of boilers and their controls, it all comes down to making the right choice with your new boiler. Nowadays, hundreds of different options are available there on the market for one to choose from. So it is crucial for you to do thorough research about the features of the boilers, their efficiency, price, and also the offered guarantee period before making your decision.
6. Removing the Old Boiler
Once you have purchased a new set, naturally, the next step would be to remove the old one. Removing a boiler can be tricky and, if it is not handled with care, could have disastrous consequences. Hiring a professional to do both the installation of a new boiler and the removal of the old one would be a wise decision for one to make. You would also need to take the disposal of the old boiler into account as well.
7. Finally, Installation
The last step of the process is finally installing the boiler. The professional might be required to make some adjustments for a proper fitting of the boiler so that it could be a lengthy process. But one needs to be patient as this is a task that needs to be handled very carefully. And that’s it. Once the boiler is installed, you are free to use it whenever and however you want.
So, these are the stages of fitting a new or replacement boiler.
