Choosing The Right Plumber

Questions To Ask About New Boiler Installations

Unless you are a qualified plumber it is likely that you have little or no knowledge about plumbing, so we have a few suggested questions you should ask when it comes to getting a new boiler installed:

• Where should the condense pipe be fitted?
• Is the existing gas pipe the right size?
• Is a combi boiler appropriate for my property?
• Should I have individual thermostats fitted?
• What are the benefits of having a magnetic filter installed?
• Is it worth having smart thermostats installed?

Consider Power Flushing

Over the years your current heating system will have built up dirt and gunk, so really the last thing you want is a brand-new boiler running a dirty heating system as it will be trying to pump hot water through years of built up sludge. It is always worth asking the plumber if power flushing is a service they can offer as this will help towards giving your new boiler the best possible start.
