Step by step boiler installation
During the cold, chilly nights of the winter season, you need your boiler to keep you warm and cosy in your house, where you may rest and relax. When there is a breakdown or a problem with the supply, it can be very upsetting and inconvenient in your everyday life.
Finding yourself without heating and hot water can be a very stressful situation. You need to understand what you need to do and who you need to talk to, so we’ve put together this handy guide to help make sense of it all.
24|7 Home Rescue offer new boiler installations and the option to cover your existing boiler and central heating system in case of breakdown, so you can have full peace of mind without hustling around.
What types of boilers do you need?
There are three main boiler types available in the market. These are:
1. Combi boilers – In the United Kingdom, these are the most common types of boilers. Combi boilers are energy-efficient, compact systems that deliver both heating and immediate hot water from a single source.
2. Regular boilers – Regular boilers, also known as “conventional,” “heat-only,” or “open-vent” boilers, utilise an additional storage tank and hot water cylinder to deliver hot water and heat.
3. System boilers – System boilers, like conventional boilers, require a hot water cylinder for storage. As a result, they can also give hot water to multiple taps at the same time.

How long does a gas boiler installation take?
Boiler installations might take anywhere from 1-3 days on average. A simple gas boiler installation should be completed within a day, but processes such as boiler type changes and system relocations can extend this duration. A new boiler fitting that includes a like-for-like system change in the same place are normally the quickest.Your qualified engineer will be able to tell you how long it will take to install your new boiler.
Who should handle the installation?
