Boiler or hybrid?

In a well insulated house a hybrid heat pump next to the boiler can save a lot of gas, often half. With a subsidy it usually pays for itself in 6 to 9 years.

In a draughty 1930s house without cavity wall insulation, a new high-efficiency boiler is often the smarter step. Insulate first, the heat pump can come later.

How the installation works

Replacing a boiler takes us one day. We start at half past seven and by around four you have hot water again. We take the old boiler away.

Afterwards we show you how the thermostat works and how to top up the pressure yourself. People often forget that last bit, yet low pressure is the fault we get called out for most.

Questions about boiler installation

Which brand of boiler do you fit?

Usually Remeha or Intergas, because we always carry parts for those brands in the van. If you prefer another brand, that’s fine too.

How soon can a new boiler be fitted?

Usually within a week of your go-ahead. If your old boiler has really packed up, we can often do it within two days.

Two companies wanted to sell us a heat pump straight away. Tom worked out it wouldn't pay off in our house yet. New boiler, done in a day, and an honest answer.
