“George from Thames Boilers came to install a brand new boiler in my property. Our previous boiler was 21 years old and beyond repair. George went through all the different options available to us, understood our needs and we settled on our new boiler. During installation he explained in detail what he was doing and what he’d be doing next. He was exceptionally clean and tidy throughout the entire installation. He was professional, friendly, courteous, reliable, trustworthy and efficient. I would wholeheartedly recommend Thames Boilers to everyone.”

Popular Boilers In Rotherhithe

Vaillant Boiler

Vaillant

Vaillant are one of the most popular boiler brands in the UK. Vaillant are a German company, with their headquarters in Remscheid, Germany since 1874.

Worcester Bosch

Worcester Bosch are one of the best known boiler manufacturers in the country. Like their closest rivals Vaillant and Viessmann, Worcester boilers have won several Which? Best Buy awards.

Viessmann

Viessmann are the greatest boiler make you’ve never heard of. We’re big fans of Viessmann here at Thames Boilers because they’re as well built as (if not better) than Vaillant or Worcester Bosch, however their prices are a little lower. This makes them fantastic value – and Which? magazine agree, giving Viessmann several ”Best Buy” awards in recent years.

Baxi

Baxi Boilers are another great British boiler make, who can trace their roots back to Richard Baxendale, an iron founder, who began the Baxendale Company in 1866, based in Preston in Lancashire. These days, Baxi also make 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 boiler brand for people who are on a budget.

Why Should You Install A New Modern Boiler? Here Are 6 Great Reasons

1. Slash Your Gas Bill

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 upgraded your boiler, controls – and perhaps even your radiators – at least 92p of every £1 you spent will be put to good use. Only 8p or less would be wasted. That’s a big saving – and if 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. Save Money On Boiler Breakdowns

Older boilers tend to fail more often than modern boilers – and when they do, the problem is usually more serious.

3. More powerful showers and faster filling baths

Does your shower just dribble? Does the water run so slowly it takes ages to get all the shampoo out of your hair? A new boiler could fix that. Combi boilers and unvented hot water cylinders can give you fantastic pressure at all your taps and showers. This is because the water comes straight from high pressure mains water and not a tank in your loft. So not only do you get a boiler that saves you money and keeps you warm – you also get a powerful shower as an added bonus!

4. No more 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. Free up more space in your home

Have you ever craved extra space in your home? One of the hidden benefits of a new boiler is that it can create extra space for you. With flexible siting options, your new boiler can be safely installed almost anyhere in your home. Plus, if you get a combi boiler, you can take out your hot water cylinder in the airing cupboard and your water tanks in the loft. This immediately creates new space where your tanks and cylinder used to be, which is brilliant for storage.

6. Don’t worry about switching the heating on again.

Did you know the very latest boiler controls are as easy to use as a smartphone? Gone are the days of squinting at the miniscule screen on the heating timer and digging out the manual just to change the heating times. These days, you can program your heating either through the simple (and free) apps that come with your new control, or scroll through the large colour screen to easily change your settings. And best of all, once you’ve set everything up, your new boiler and heating controls will keep your home at a perfect temperature without using any more gas than absolutely necessary.
