A like-for-like replacement usually takes a day. Moving the boiler or converting your system takes longer, and we’ll confirm the timings before the work is booked. Read what to expect in a boiler installation.
As Worcester Bosch accredited partners, we can offer guarantees of up to 12 years on selected Worcester Bosch boilers. Terms depend on the model and include an annual service. See Worcester Bosch boilers.
At least once a year. An annual service keeps your boiler safe and efficient, catches small faults before they become big problems and keeps any guarantee or warranty valid. See boiler servicing.
Usually around 30 to 40 minutes for a gas boiler. Oil boilers take longer because of the extra cleaning and checks. See gas boiler servicing and oil boiler servicing.
If your boiler needs repairs often and they’re getting costly, replacing it with a modern, efficient model is usually better value. Our engineers will always give you an honest recommendation. Read should I repair or replace my boiler?
Typically around 10 to 20 years when it’s properly maintained. Consider replacing it when faults keep coming back and repairs cost more than a replacement. Here are the signs it’s time to replace your old boiler.
Check the pressure gauge, any fault code on the display, that the thermostat is calling for heat and that the power and fuel supply are on. Low pressure is common: here’s how to re-pressurise your boiler. Still stuck? Book a boiler repair.
Don’t use electrical switches or naked flames. Open doors and windows, turn off the gas at the meter if you can, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999.
If your rental has gas appliances, you need a gas safety check by a Gas Safe registered engineer every 12 months and a Landlord Gas Safety Record (CP12). We can service the boiler in the same visit. See landlord boiler servicing and landlord boiler cover.
