Boiler installation - Everything You Need to Know
If you are considering a new heating system for your home, a boiler installation may be just what you need. With so many options available, it’s important to understand the process and what to expect. In this article, we’ll answer some of the most common questions about boiler supply and installation.
What is a boiler?
A boiler is a device used to heat water for central heating and domestic hot water. There are two main types of boilers: gas and electrical. Gas boilers burn natural gas or propane to heat the water, while electrical boilers use electricity. Both types of boilers can be used in a variety of heating systems, including traditional radiators, underfloor heating, and combination boilers.
What is a gas boiler?
A gas boiler is a device that uses natural gas or propane to heat water. It is the most common type of boiler used in the UK, and it is known for its energy efficiency and low carbon emissions.
What is an electrical boiler?
An electrical boiler is a device that uses electricity to heat water. It is a good option in areas where gas is not available, and it can be more energy efficient than a gas boiler in certain situations.
What is a boiler benchmark?
Boiler benchmarking is a process used to ensure that new gas boilers meet certain energy efficiency standards. The benchmark is a document that details the energy efficiency of the boiler, and it must be completed by a gas safe registered engineer. This is a requirement for new boiler installations in the UK.
What are the benefits of a new heating system?
A new heating system can offer many benefits, including improved energy efficiency, increased comfort, and lower heating bills. A new boiler can also provide hot water on demand, making it a more convenient option for many homeowners.
What is the difference between a gas boiler and an electrical boiler?
The main difference between gas and electrical boilers is the fuel source. Gas boilers burn natural gas or propane, while electrical boilers use electricity. Gas boilers tend to be more cost-effective and produce fewer carbon emissions, but electrical boilers can be a good option in areas where gas is not available.
Do I need a gas engineer for a boiler installation?
