New boiler installation in Sutton Coldfield. Honest advice on combi, system and regular boilers, with the bigger Four Oaks and Walmley houses sized properly for their hot water.
For those larger houses the usual answer is a system boiler and an unvented cylinder, which stores hot water and delivers it at mains pressure to several taps at once. Some older houses still have a regular boiler with tanks in the loft, and whether to keep that layout or convert it depends on the pipework and how the house is used now.
Sizing comes next. An oversized boiler cycles on and off and wastes gas, and an undersized one never quite keeps up in the coldest weeks. We look at the number of radiators, the size of the house, any extensions added over the years and the mains water pressure before recommending anything.
A new boiler is also the right time to put right what the old one hid: a cleanse of the system so sludge does not ruin the new heat exchanger, a magnetic filter, modern controls, and a condensate pipe routed so it will not freeze.
Most installations are a day or two, and the old boiler is taken away. You get a written quote first, and the paperwork and manufacturer registration are handled for you. A photo of the boiler badge and the display on WhatsApp tells us the make, the model and often the likely part before anyone sets off.
The right type for the number of bathrooms and how the house is used, not the easiest one to fit.
Radiators, extensions and mains pressure all checked before a model is chosen.
For the larger Sutton houses that need hot water at more than one tap at once.
Sludge flushed out and a magnetic filter fitted so the new boiler is protected from day one.
Smart or programmable thermostats, and zoning for bigger houses that heat unevenly.
Taken away, with the paperwork and manufacturer registration handled for you.
If the house has one bathroom, usually yes. With two or more bathrooms used at once, a system boiler and a cylinder normally serves the house better.
A straight combi swap is usually a day. Changing the type of system or moving the boiler takes two or three days.
Often, for example out of a kitchen cupboard into a utility room or loft, depending on the flue route and the gas supply.
Yes, along with any old tanks that come out as part of the job.
The new boiler is registered with the manufacturer for you, and the warranty depends on annual servicing, which we can book in.
A good first idea, yes. Photos of the boiler, the flue outside and the airing cupboard help, and a visit confirms it before anything is ordered.
