What Are The Benefits Of A Professional Boiler Installation?
A proper boiler installation in Battersea isn’t just about swapping out equipment—it’s about maximising efficiency, ensuring safety, and preparing your home for long-term comfort.
1. Efficiency & Lower Bills
Modern condensing boilers can be up to 90% efficient. When installed professionally, they reduce waste and optimise fuel usage—helping you save money over time.
2. Expert Handling & Peace Of Mind
We handle the entire Battersea boiler process with certified Gas Safe engineers. From assessment to final testing, we follow strict protocols to protect your home and family.
3. Extended Lifespan
A professionally installed system is built to last. With correct pressure settings, properly fitted filters, and attention to detail, your boiler will keep your home’s heating system running smoothly for years.
What To Expect During The Boiler Installation Process
Wondering how it all works? Here’s how we manage your new boiler steps from start to finish.
1. Preparation & Site Survey
We begin with a detailed inspection of your current setup. We’ll:
- Assess the boiler’s location
- Check water pressure (in bars, not psi)
- Evaluate your home’s heating and hot water needs
We’ll help you choose the right boiler for your space—whether it’s combi, regular, or system—and make recommendations on control upgrades or filters.
