How long does it take a plumber to install a new boiler?
An experienced plumber or gas boiler installer can set up a new boiler in as little as six hours, though it may take longer depending on the complexity of the system, the location of the boiler, and the state of the existing system.
For example, if the original system is old, it may contain sludge or damaged pipes, which the boiler installer would need to fix before installing the new boiler. Factors like this can add to the installation time.
Do you need access to all radiators when fitting a new boiler?
Yes. In general, boiler installers need to access radiators when fitting new boilers for a few reasons:
-
System flush: Access to radiators is necessary to flush the central heating system, which removes any debris that may damage the new boiler.
-
Bleeding radiators: This refers to letting the air escape from the system after installing a new boiler, which also requires radiator access.
-
Balancing the system: To ensure the house heats up evenly, installers adjust the valves on all radiators.
It’s possible to install a boiler without accessing all radiators, but this can increase the likelihood of things going wrong down the line.
