Boiler installation, exchange and conversion advice - A Must Read
January 12th, 2010
We get asked this question a lot, so I thought I would write this article so you can make a more educated decision.
By law you must choose a high efficiency condensing boiler with a Sedbuk rating of either A or B. A rated boilers have an efficiency of 90% and above and band B boilers have an efficiency of 86% - 90%.
The obvious benefits of a new condensing combination boiler are that they are a lot cheaper to run, and a lot better for the environment, there’s also a good chance that a new boiler installation will add to the value of your property depending on the condition of your old system/boiler.
There are many manufacturers of boilers around some better than others and the price often (but not always) reflects this, my personal recommendations for a good value reliable band A boiler is the Baxi Duo- tec, or Ideal logic +. The Duo-Tec was awarded Corgi and Which magazine boiler of the year in 2007 and has an efficiency of 91.5%, the Logic + is about the same price as the Duo-Tec but comes with a 5 year warranty as opposed to the Duo-Tec’s 2 year warranty., I personally think they are just as good as each other as I have fitted both, it just so happens that Baxi have a better reputation than Ideal. If you have money to burn then you could opt for a Worcester Bosh or Vailant boiler, but I don’t think they warrant the extra expense personally.
Whoever you choose to fit your new boiler must ensure that the following are carried out as part of the installation in order to meet all relevant regulations:
Thermostatic Radiator valves - Used to control each radiator individually and in turn will save you money
Room stat - Normally wireless and used to control the temperature of the room, saves money.
System flush - This is needed mainly for your boiler warranty, there’s two methods one is a powerflush and one is a hot and cold flush, in a nutshell the system must be clean fro sludge and magnetite build-up as newer boilers are more perceptive to sludge damage, another good idea is to get a filter fitted which offers long term protection.
Condensate pipe - on condensing boilers there is a need for a white pipe to leave your boiler and terminate in a drain or waste pipe, you must ensure this happens.
Notification - It is a requirement that your installer notifies the boiler installation with the building regulations.
This is a rough price idea, you shouldn’t really be paying outside these brackets as too cheap I would be wary and too expensive doesn’t necessarily mean a better standard of work, please bear in mind that we carry out boiler installations Newcastle so prices may vary on area.
Boiler exchange (combi boiler swapped for a new combi boiler) £1400 - £1800 depending on boiler
Conversion (back boiler or system boiler for a combi) £1900 - £2500 depending on boiler and location of new and old boiler.
System boiler for new condensing system boiler: £1400 - £1800.
I Always recommend a Combi boiler as opposed to a system boiler, as a combi offers you instant hot water and heating and does not need any tanks etc for it to operate, the only time i advise against one is if you have a high hot water demand as a Combi can only cope with a certain amount of hot water at the same time, so you normally couldn’t have two showers on at the same time for arguments sake.
I hope you found this article informative and if you have any questions regarding boiler installation or anything else, then please do not hesitate to give us a call, please bear in mind we only operate in the North East area.
