5 Common Mistakes to Avoid During Boiler Installation
If you're considering replacing your boiler, it can be tempting to jump into the installation process. But there are important factors to remember to prevent potential issues and expenses. Keep reading to learn about common mistakes to steer clear of during boiler installation.
Mistake #1: Picking the wrong size
Boilers differ in terms of size and features, so selecting the appropriate unit is crucial to ensure effective heating. Failure to do this could result in inefficient heating performance. Be sure to discuss your needs with a qualified installer before boiler installation. They will want to know details about your home, such as the number of bathrooms and bedrooms, your current boiler, and whether you need a new thermostat or programmer before
Mistake #2: Choosing the wrong brand
Most boilers will provide reliable and lasting service with correct installation and regular maintenance. That said, it’s still more prudent to choose a unit from a respected manufacturer or brand for worryfree performance and support. Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Alpha, Keston, and Ideal are some of the industry-leading brands and manufacturers of high-quality boilers.
Mistake #3: Not asking about financing options
There’s no doubt that a new heating appliance will cost some money. However, you don’t need to worry about paying for it in one go. Reputable installers offer flexible payment options and can customise a plan to make it easier to afford a new boiler. Look for one that can get you qualified for 0% APR for two years.
Mistake #4: Doing it yourself
Most homeowners think they could save money with DIY boiler installation until they realise how complicated it can be. Additionally, the job requires technical know-how and training with heating appliances. So, be sure to hire a Gas Safe registered heating engineer to install your new boiler. It’s also a way to avoid any problems caused by a faulty installation. Also, ensure you’re hiring someone qualified and accredited by your boiler’s manufacturer to install its products.
Mistake #5: Not signing up for a care plan
Boiler care plans can help maintain your new heating appliance and ensure the warranty won’t be voided. Plus, they eliminate your need to worry about breakdowns and not having heating during the most critical times.
