Make the replacement work with your heating
Demand assessed first
Heating and hot water needs are assessed before a boiler is chosen, so the new boiler suits the property and the people using it.
Controls checked for fit
Heating controls are checked against the new boiler, so the system works as one unit from the first day.
Installed and tested
Each installation is tested through the system, with the work explained to the customer before handover.
Choose a boiler for the property and the system
M.B City Plumbing & Heating Solutions provides boiler installation and replacement services, and the first step is always to choose the right boiler for the property. The appropriate boiler depends on the property's heating requirements, hot water demand and existing system, and a boiler that is too small or too large will not serve the home well. We assess the rooms, the radiators, the hot water use and the pipework before we suggest a boiler.
A larger home with several bathrooms needs a different boiler from a small flat with one bathroom, and a home with an older system needs a boiler that works with the pipework and radiators already in place. We look at the whole system, not only the boiler, so the new unit, the controls and the radiators work together. The choice is agreed with the customer before any work is booked.
Gas boiler work by a registered engineer
Gas boiler work must be undertaken by an appropriately Gas Safe registered engineer, and we only use engineers with the right registration for gas work. The engineer checks the gas supply, the flue and the ventilation before the new boiler is fitted, and tests the installation for safety when the work is done. Gas safety is not a matter for shortcuts, and every check is recorded.
The registration matters because a gas boiler connects to the gas supply, the flue and the heating system, and each connection must be sound. We explain the checks we carry out and show the customer the results, so the installation is understood and not only assumed to be safe. Where the existing flue or gas supply needs attention, we agree the extra work before the installation begins.
