Frequently Asked Questions
Below you’ll find answers to the questions we get asked the most about not only during the boiler installation but through the entire process.
Not at all. We don’t require any deposits or downpayments from you. Payment is only due when we finish the work and you’re happy, and that’s the way we think it should be!
Of course, we accept most methods of payment including credit cards. We can confirm this with you before we commence any work.
Don’t worry, all you need to do is provide access to the property and make sure any areas where we’ll be working are clear. If there’s anything specific we need from you in advance, we’ll confirm that with you before we even start the installation.
Not at all. As long as someone is there to let us in on the morning of the installation and you have a spare key you can just leave our team to carry on with the work!
Typically a boiler replacement will take just one day . A boiler conversion, where we’d be getting your old boiler converted to a combi system will generally take two days.
The vast majority of our installations are completed in one day, however, if the installation is going to take more than one day, ie. a boiler conversion, you may be without heating and hot water overnight. If you have any vunerable residents such as the elderly or children who may require heating, please make us aware of this as we will always try our best to accomodate such as providing you with electric heaters for the night.
We’ll usually be able to isolate the gas, electric and cold water supply in the areas where we are working so the gas, electric and cold running water shouldn’t be disrupted at all. We will always let you know before we start what will be disrupted by our work.
We will need access to your utility meters are and the mains water stopcock. Our engineers usually are able to locate this themselves so don’t worry if you’re unsure where these are.
