BOILER INSTALLATION FAQs
How much could you save?
Heating accounts for about 55% of what you spend in a year on energy bills so an efficient boiler makes a big difference. Modern boilers are more efficient for several reasons, but their main advantage is that they are all condensing boilers. All well-maintained boilers burn their fuel very efficiently, but they inevitably lose some heat in the hot gases that escape up the flue. A condensing boiler has a bigger heat exchanger, so it recovers more heat, sends cooler gases up the flue and is more efficient.
Typical annual saving based on your present boiler rating: G (< 70%) £315 F (70-74%) £220 E (74-78%) £190 D (78-82%) £170 * Estimated figures: Energy Saving Trust March 2019, based on installing a new A-rated condensing boiler.
What type of boiler do I need?
If it’s time to change your boiler, the first step is to decide what type you need. There are three main types of condensing boilers: combi boilers, System boilers, and Regular Boilers.
Choosing a new boiler can seem daunting and confusing, but we aim to make this process as simple as possible with our ‘nothing is too much trouble’ approach. Our senior engineers promise to visit your property personally and take the time to assess and discuss your needs to ensure your new boiler perfectly matches your requirements. Every client’s needs differ, depending on how many bathrooms you have, the number of people living in the household, and the individual’s lifestyle requirements, e.g., two or more people showering simultaneously.
The best option for you will depend on various factors, such as:
How much hot water do you use? A large family using lots of hot water could be better off with a system or regular boiler connected to an unvented cylinder, whereas a smaller household using less may be better off using a combi.
Are you short on space? A combi boiler doesn’t need a hot water cylinder, so it needs less space. The Worcester Compact range is even specifically designed to fit inside a standard kitchen cupboard!
How quickly can you install a boiler in Edinburgh?
Usually within 24 hours of quote acceptance, subject to stock availability and a completed survey.
Will you remove my old boiler?
es. We safely decommission and recycle your old appliance in line with WEEE regulations—no extra charge.
Will a hydrogen-ready boiler work on natural gas?
Absolutely. The models we fit run efficiently on today’s natural gas and will automatically adapt to a future 20 % hydrogen blend.
How much should a new boiler and installation cost?
Replacing your combi boiler or system boiler could cost anywhere between £1895 – £3995.
This all depends on the features and the actual boiler make. The output of the boiler can also affect the price, as higher-rated, more powerful boilers will generally be more expensive. The cost of labour will also have to be factored in.
Can a plumber install a boiler?
When installing a new gas boiler, you must employ an actual Gas and Heating engineer. Although a plumber can work on the pipework and radiators that make up your central heating system, they mustn’t work on the gas pipe or the boiler. The Heating engineer needs to be Gas Safe qualified.
How long does it take to install a boiler?
How long do boilers last?
Does putting in a new boiler make a lot of mess?
Do I need new radiators with a new boiler?
Not necessarily. When you book us for a home visit, this will be part of our home survey. Let the team know if you’ve been having issues with the radiators, such as cold spots, taking a long time to heat, etc.
How do you know when your boiler needs replacing?
1. Radiators take longer than usual to heat up
2. There is a bad smell coming from the boiler
3. Increase in your energy bills
4. Leaky Boiler
5. Strange or unusual noises coming from the central heating boiler

Do you cover outskirts like Musselburgh or Queensferry?
We cover all EH postcodes at no extra cost. We also cover areas outside of Edinburgh and have been to the borders and Kinross recently.
Can I keep my existing smart thermostat?
In most cases, yes—we’ll reconnect and test it.
What happens if my pipework or radiators are clogged?
A full chemical power-flush is included with premium packages. Severe sludge issues are identified during the survey so any extra work is costed up-front.
Is a survey mandatory?
Yes. A virtual photo survey or in-person visit is required to size the boiler correctly and ensure full Gas Safe compliance.
Do I need to upgrade my gas pipe to 22 mm?
Only if the current 15 mm run cannot supply the required flow. We pressure-test during the survey and quote for any needed upgrade.
Is a MagnaCleanse or magnetic filter worth it?
Yes. A magnetic filter captures sludge, protects the heat exchanger and is a requirement for many manufacturer warranties.
What after-care do you provide?
After you have your boiler fitted by us, you can join our care plan which includes annual servicing, priority breakdown cover.
