What type of boiler do you need?

Combi (combination) Boiler
Supplies heating and hot water from the one appliance. Perfect for smaller homes.

Heat-only (conventional) Boiler
Does what it says on the tin. A heat-only conventional boiler provides heating. For hot water, you will also need an unvented cylinder. These boilers are for larger homes with higher heating and hot water demand.

System Boiler
Similar to a conventional boiler but is pressurised. A system boiler is best suited for homes with poor water pressure.

What Boiler Size do I need?

The size of a boiler we install for you can mean its physical size and also its size in relation to its heating output. The choice in the size of the boiler will be unique to you and your home.

Factors to consider when selecting the size include the size of your rooms, the number of bathrooms you have and also how many people live in the home. We can offer our expert knowledge to help you make the right choice.

How to Choose a Reliable Boiler

We recommend and install brands of boilers that we trust to supply you with a reliable boiler that will stand the test of time.

Is your boiler just on the blink?

It might be that your boiler just needs some TLC to get it back up and running smoothly, and you don’t need a new one after all. We offer boiler maintenance as well and will check to see if the boiler is able to be repaired.

What is Boiler Efficiency?

Boiler efficiency is a key factor to consider, as your gas boiler will account for approximately 60% of the CO2 emissions from your home. Therefore, efficiency is a key priority if you’re looking to reduce your energy bills and your carbon footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions About Boiler Installations

How do I know if I need a new boiler?

There are several signs that indicate it might be time for a new boiler installation. If your boiler is more than 10-15 years old, needs frequent repairs or struggles to heat your home efficiently, replacing it may be the best option. Rising energy bills, unusual noises or inconsistent heating are also signs that your boiler is no longer performing efficiently. Our team can assess your current system and advise whether a replacement is necessary.

How long does a boiler installation take?

A standard boiler installation usually takes between one to three days, depending on the complexity of the job. Replacing an old boiler with a similar model is quicker, while switching from a conventional system to a combi boiler or upgrading pipework may take longer. Our engineers aim to complete the work efficiently with minimal disruption.

What types of boilers do you install?

At Lonsdale Plumbing, we install all major types of boilers, including:

Combi boilers – Ideal for smaller homes, providing hot water on demand without the need for a storage tank.
System boilers – Suitable for larger households, using a cylinder to store hot water while maintaining good water pressure.
Conventional boilers – Best for homes with existing traditional heating systems that require a separate hot water tank.

How much does a new boiler installation cost?

The cost of a new boiler installation depends on factors such as the type of boiler, brand and any additional work required (such as upgrading pipework or radiators). Prices can vary but we offer free quotes to give you a clear estimate before any work begins. Our team will assess your needs and recommend the most cost-effective solution for your home or business.

What brands of boilers do you install?

We install a range of trusted boiler brands, including Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, Ideal and Glow-worm. If you have a preferred brand or need advice on the best option for your home, our engineers will guide you through the available choices.

Is boiler installation covered by a warranty?

Yes, all our boiler installations come with a manufacturer’s warranty. The length of the warranty depends on the brand and model you choose, with some offering up to 10 years of coverage. We will provide all warranty details upon installation and ensure your boiler is registered for full protection.

Do you handle both residential and commercial boiler installations?

Yes, Lonsdale Plumbing provides boiler installations for both residential and commercial properties. Whether you need a boiler for your home, office, rental property or business premises, our team can handle installations of all sizes.

Will there be a lot of disruption during installation?

We aim to keep disruption to a minimum during your boiler installation. While some noise and temporary heating/water downtime are unavoidable, our engineers work efficiently to complete the job as quickly as possible. We also ensure all work areas are left clean and tidy after installation.

Can a new boiler reduce my energy bills?

Yes, upgrading to a modern, energy-efficient boiler can significantly reduce your energy bills. Newer boilers operate with improved efficiency, using less fuel to generate the same amount of heat. Many models also feature smart heating controls, allowing you to manage your heating more effectively and save money.

How often should my boiler be serviced after installation?

Your boiler should be serviced once a year to keep it running efficiently and to maintain the manufacturer’s warranty. Regular servicing helps detect potential issues early, ensuring your heating system remains safe and reliable. Lonsdale Plumbing offers annual boiler servicing for all types of domestic and commercial boilers.

Can I upgrade my current heating system with a new boiler?

Yes, if you have an older heating system, installing a new boiler can be a great way to improve efficiency. We can assess whether your current system is compatible with a modern boiler and make recommendations for any necessary upgrades, such as new radiators, thermostatic controls or improved pipework.
