Popular Boilers In Blackheath

Vaillant Boiler

Vaillant Boilers

Vaillant are one of the most popular boiler brands in the UK. Vaillant were arguably the first company to make a “combi”also known as a “combination” boiler back in the early 60’s. So they’re a well established company.

Worcester Bosch Boilers

Worcester Bosch are among the best known boiler manufacturers in the UK. If you want a really reliable boiler, but still want to support British manufacturing, then Worcester Bosch is a great choice. However, they are among the most expensive boilers we install.

Viessmann Boilers

Viessmann are the best boiler manufacturer you’ve never heard of. But don’t let that put you off. Viessmann are huge in Europe and, like their rivals Vaillant, they’re German and have been around for over 100 years.

Baxi Boilers

Baxi is another great British heating manufacturer, whose roots go back to Richard Baxendale, an iron founder, who started the Baxendale Company in 1866, based in Preston in Lancashire. Today, Baxi also makes well known Main and Potterton boiler brands, as part of the Baxi group. We usually recommend Baxi boilers as the least disruptive replacement to some conventional boilers – and their Main brand for people who want to keep costs down.

FAQ​

Generally, if you have one bathroom as well as good pressure at your kitchen tap or outdoors tap, a combi central heating boiler is normally the very best option for most people.
If you have got more than one bathroom in your home, then a conventional central heating boiler (or even a system central heating boiler) with a hot water cylinder would be the best option.

No. For existing houses, if you have to change your gas boiler from 2035 onwards, you will not be allowed to put in another gas central heating boiler. According to current government plans, you would have to install a Hydrogen boiler or a heat pump. However, if your gas central heating boiler is working in 2035, you will not be required to do anything up until it needs to be replaced, such as if it’s broken down and beyond repair.

It can vary hugely depending on what you need.
However as a rough estimate, to take your old central heating boiler out and put a brand-new one in the exact same location ranges from roughly ₤1800 to ₤3000.
And to strip out an old sort of system with a hot water cylinder {and} install a combi central heating boiler costs between roughly ₤3000 and ₤5000.
If you need various other work carried out at the same time, such as a power flush, a new gas pipeline, or brand-new radiators, this will certainly add to the estimated price.

If you have only got 1 bathroom as well as good water mains pressure, then yes.
If you have got more than 1 bathroom or bad water mains pressure, then no{, you should look at a conventional boiler or a system boiler}.

Yes. There are several types of smart thermostats that can connect to the net so you can control your central heating boiler from your phone. Some brands people choose are Nest, Honeywell, Tado, as well as Hive.

Yes, we cover the Blackheath area as well as Greenwich, Maze Hill, St Johns, Lewisham, Ladywell, Kidbrooke, Charlton, Shooters Hill, Woolwich, Mottingham

6 Benefits You Get With A New Modern Boiler

1. Cut Your Gas Bills

If you’ve got a very old boiler with a pilot light, old radiators, timer and thermostat, 45p of every £1 you spend on gas is completely wasted. Whichever way you look at it, that’s a terrible waste.

If you replaced your boiler, controls – and perhaps even your radiators – at least 92p in every £1 you spend will be put to good use. Only 8p or less would be wasted. That’s quite a saving – and when you add it up over a year, you could save over £250. On average, that’s an extra £25 per month in your pocket to spend on the nicer things in life, not gas.

2. Stop Paying For Boiler Breakdowns

Is your boiler starting to cost you a lot of money in call out charges and parts? If it is, then the answer may be a new boiler. Modern boilers are reliable, break down less often than old boilers, and come with warranties of up to 12 years. So you won’t need to worry about spending money on repairs for up to 12 years after your new boiler is fitted.

3. Really powerful showers and fast filling baths

Combi boilers and unvented hot water tanks get their water supply straight from your water mains, rather than a cold water tank in the loft. This means you can get fantastic high pressure hot and cold water at all of your taps and showers. So you can get an exhilarating “power shower” experience without tanks in the loft or a booster pump. This saves space and eliminates the chance of a pump going wrong (because you won’t have one)!

4. Stop running out of hot water

If you find you keep running out of hot water, then your hot water cylinder may be too small – or it may be full of limescale. To fix this, you can either replace your hot water cylinder for a newer efficient one, or if your home is suitable, you can take out your old boiler and hot water tank and replace them both with a combi boiler. This will give you as much hot water as you need and save you space because you don’t need a seperate cylinder and tanks in the loft.

5. Create extra space

It doesn’t matter whether you live in a one bedroom flat or a 6 bedroom house, we all need more space. And when you upgrade your central heating, there are plenty of opportunities to find more room in your home. Modern boilers can be fitted out of the way in areas like lofts, airing cupboards or garages. Some boilers, like combi boilers, need no tanks or cylinders either, which immediately creates space in your airing cupboard and loft.

6. Never worry about switching the boiler on or off again.

Did you know the very latest boiler controls are as easy to use as a tablet? Gone are the days of squinting at the miniscule screen on the heating timer and reading the manual just to change the heating times. Today, you can program your heating either through the simple (and free) phone or tablet apps that come with your new controls, or flick through the large colour screen to change your settings with ease. And the best part is, once you’ve set everything up, your new boiler and heating controls will keep your home at a perfect temperature without using any more energy than absolutely necessary.
