Gas Boiler and Burner Installation

A reliable gas boiler and correctly matched burner are the heart of an efficient heating system. Whether you are replacing an older unit or fitting a new system in a renovation or new build, professional installation protects safety, comfort, and running costs. We install gas boilers and burners for homes and commercial spaces, delivering clean workmanship, clear communication, and dependable results.

From the first assessment to final commissioning, we focus on correct sizing, safe gas and flue connections, and stable combustion. The goal is simple, steady heat, predictable hot water performance, and a system you can maintain with confidence.

What We Install and When It Is Time to Upgrade

We install modern gas boilers, burners, and supporting components designed to meet today’s efficiency and safety expectations. If your existing unit is noisy, short cycling, producing uneven heat, or frequently locking out, replacement may be more cost effective than repeated repairs. Upgrading can also make sense when your heat demand has changed due to an extension, insulation improvements, or a change in occupancy.

Typical installation scenarios

  • Boiler replacement when an older unit is inefficient or unreliable
  • New boiler and burner installation for renovations and new construction
  • Burner replacement when the boiler body is sound but combustion components are worn
  • System upgrades to improve heat distribution and control, including pumps and valves

We also help clients coordinate related work that impacts performance, such as radiators, pipework adjustments, and zoning controls. If you are comparing options across heating services, we can explain which route fits your building and budget.

Our Installation Process

Installing gas equipment is not only about swapping a unit. It is a detailed process that balances efficiency, safety, and long term serviceability. We follow a structured method so the system works as designed from day one.

  1. Site survey and load assessment to confirm the right boiler output and burner configuration
  2. System preparation including isolation, drainage where required, and protection of surrounding areas
  3. Safe removal of old equipment and responsible handling of waste
  4. Installation and connections for gas line, water circuit, electrical supply, condensate where applicable, and flue or chimney interface
  5. Commissioning with combustion setup, safety checks, and verification of stable ignition and modulation
  6. Handover with operating guidance, basic user settings, and maintenance recommendations

Throughout the work, we aim for neat pipe runs, accessible service clearances, and clear labeling. This reduces downtime later and makes routine checks simpler for any technician who services the unit.

Safety, Compliance, and Performance Testing

Gas appliances must be installed correctly to prevent leaks, incomplete combustion, and flue gas issues. That is why we place strong emphasis on verification and testing, not just installation. We check the gas supply conditions, ensure the flue route is appropriate, and confirm safe operation under normal and peak demand.

What we verify during commissioning

  • Gas tightness and secure connections
  • Correct combustion using calibrated measurements and manufacturer targets
  • Flue integrity and safe discharge of combustion products
  • System pressures, flow rates, and circulation
  • Controls and safety devices including thermostats and limit protection

If your project also involves broader building comfort needs, we can coordinate with related professional hvac services to support consistent indoor conditions across seasons.

Efficiency Upgrades and Better Control

Even the best boiler will waste energy if the system around it is unbalanced or poorly controlled. During installation we can recommend practical improvements that help the unit run longer at lower output, which is usually where efficiency is best. Small adjustments often make a noticeable difference in comfort.

Common add ons that improve results

  • Thermostat installation and zoning controls for room by room comfort
  • Pump and valve optimization to stabilize flow through the heating circuit
  • Radiator and circuit balancing to reduce hot and cold spots
  • System cleaning and protection to reduce sludge and extend component life

We will also explain what ongoing care looks like, including routine checks and planned servicing. For clients comparing boiler installation services with repair options, we provide honest guidance based on age, condition, and expected operating costs.

Aftercare, Maintenance, and Support

Once your boiler and burner are installed, the next priority is keeping them reliable. Regular servicing helps maintain safe combustion, protects heat exchangers, and reduces the chance of unexpected shutdowns during cold weather. We can schedule planned maintenance and provide practical advice on monitoring pressure, system noise, and early signs of wear.

If you need help after installation, we support troubleshooting and can advise on best next steps, whether it is a simple adjustment, replacement of a wear component, or a deeper diagnostic visit. Our aim is long term reliability, not short term fixes, so you can depend on your heating system when you need it most.

FAQ

How do I know what size gas boiler I need?

Boiler size should be based on heat loss, hot water demand, and how your property is used. We assess room sizes, insulation, and existing pipework to avoid oversizing or undersizing. Correct sizing improves comfort, efficiency, and component life.

Do you commission the boiler and set up the burner after installation?

Yes, commissioning is part of a proper installation. We verify gas tightness, set combustion to manufacturer specifications, and confirm stable operation across different loads. You also receive a clear handover on basic controls and safe operation.

Can I replace just the burner and keep the existing boiler?

In some cases, yes, if the boiler heat exchanger and casing are in good condition and compatible with a new burner. We check the appliance condition, safety, and expected efficiency before recommending this route. If the boiler is near end of life, full replacement often provides better long term value.
