If you’re planning a new boiler installation in Lexden or the surrounding areas, our experienced plumbers can guide you through the process. At CFM Home Heating Services, we offer a comprehensive range of scheduled and emergency plumbing services, including boiler servicing and radiator replacements.
Whether you’re upgrading an old system or fitting a brand-new unit, knowing the steps involved helps you prepare your home and feel more confident. Read on to learn more.
The first stage of any boiler installation is an initial survey. Our Gas Safe registered engineers will assess your property, discuss your heating and hot water needs, and recommend the most suitable boiler type – combi, system, or regular. Our plumbing company will then be able to provide a quotation and project timeline.
Before work begins, it’s helpful to clear the area around your existing boiler and radiators. Floors and nearby surfaces will be protected with dust sheets to minimise disruption. If you’ve had any recent scheduled or emergency plumbing work completed, such as a radiator replacement, this is a good time to mention it so everything can be considered together.
On installation day, our engineers will isolate the gas and water supplies, safely drain and remove your old boiler, and then reconnect the supplies. If you’re switching systems, the old tanks will be removed as well. New pipework is installed where necessary, and the system is thoroughly cleaned using chemical flushing or power flushing to improve efficiency and support long-term boiler servicing.
Next, the new boiler is mounted and connected to gas, water, electricity, and the flue, followed by a detailed flue check. Controls such as smart thermostats are wired in, and the system is tested and commissioned. This includes gas pressure checks, performance testing, and basic leak detection. Our skilled plumbers ensure everything runs safely and efficiently, whether you’re keeping it traditional or adding electric radiators to your Lexden home.
Once installation is complete, our engineers will walk you through how to use your new boiler and controls. All paperwork is finalised, the boiler is registered, and the work area is thoroughly cleaned. Finally, we’ll advise you on boiler servicing and share the warning signs that you might have a problem, so that you know when our 24-hour plumbing services are needed.
If you need a new boiler installation in Lexden or the surrounding areas, choose our plumbing company for reliable, efficient heating services and peace of mind.
