How long does it take to install a new boiler?

At Enflame Heating and Plumbing, one of the most popular we receive is "how long will it take to install a new boiler?". This guide will provide you with information on an estimated timeframe for installing various boilers, allowing you to plan your time accordingly.

How long could a new boiler installation take?

Depending on how complicated the installation is, a new boiler can be easily installed within 1 to 3 days. Additionally, you should block off time for the appointment that will happen before your installation with your heating engineer. To guarantee that an appropriate boiler is chosen and installed, the heating engineer will speak with you about your home's heating requirements during this consultation.

Factors affecting how long it takes to install a boiler

The complexity of the project and how much labour is required will have a significant impact on how long it takes to install a boiler. This will also have an impact on the cost. Here are a few factors that can affect the length of time for a boiler installation.

Same place, Same boiler  

It is common to refer to this sort of installation as a "like-for-like exchange,". It involves. replacing the boiler that you already have with one of the same kind. This kind of installation is often the fastest and may sometimes even be completed in a single day since it requires just a small amount of modification.

Relocating the boiler

If you want to have your new boiler installed in a different location inside your home, the installation process may take a little bit longer than usual. To implement the changes, your engineer may have to put in brand-new components at the new location or cap the pipes that are already there. Because of the amount of work needed, the installation of your new system might take an additional day.

It is essential to bear in mind that, in general, the process of installing a new boiler will take more time and cost more money if you choose to place it further away from where the old boiler was located.

Upgrading your boiler system

Some property owners decide to entirely switch to a different model of boiler from the one that was originally installed. For instance, upgrading from a conventional boiler to a combination boiler. The combination boiler has overtaken the traditional boiler as the most common form of boiler in the UK; therefore, many homeowners choose to upgrade to this kind of system.

Depending on the difficulty of the task at hand, this sort of change might extend the duration of your installation by as much as three days. You should think about the advantages of upgrading to a more efficient system even if it can seem like a lengthy procedure at this point.

Investing in the right boiler for your house may not only provide you with sufficient warmth and hot water, but it can also help you save money on your yearly energy bills by making your home's heating and hot water system more efficient.
