There are a few different types of boilers for you to choose between, each of which have their advantages and disadvantages. Often, the characteristics of a property will determine which type of boiler is most suitable.

Purchasing a new boiler is likely to be a considerable investment. Every manufacturer has their own unique warranty and returns policy. The warranty period of a boiler is usually significantly longer than other pieces of technology. It can be anywhere from 2 to 12 years depending on the brand you choose. If something goes wrong with your boiler within the warranty period, the manufacturer will repair (or replace) it without charge. Thus, it is definitely worth purchasing a model with a longer guarantee.

The installation of a new boiler can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days. It really depends on the existing set-up. If you are swapping out an old system, it is likely to take between 4 and 6 hours to complete the installation. However, upgrading a boiler from a traditional system (one with an external water tank) to a combination boiler will take a little longer to complete.

If you have an electric boiler, one reason for this may be that the property is not connected to the gas network. When this is the case, switching to a gas boiler may be costly because you would have to be connected to the gas supply before the boiler can be installed. Alternatively, if your property is already connected to the gas mainline, it should not be too much of an issue to change to a gas based system. However, the location of the new boiler may be somewhat limited due to the location where the gas supply enters the property.
