Gas Boiler Services

New gas boiler costs in Bath and Bristol typically range from £1,800 to £3,500 including installation, depending on the type, brand, and complexity of the installation. Combi boiler installations tend to be at the lower end of this range, while system boilers with hot water cylinders cost more. Factors affecting cost include boiler output, warranty length, additional system work required (such as power flushing or new radiators), and any special requirements for period properties common in Bath. We provide transparent, detailed quotations following a thorough on-site assessment.

A straightforward like-for-like boiler replacement typically takes 1 day to complete. Converting from one boiler type to another (e.g., conventional to combi) usually takes 1-2 days. More complex installations involving system modifications, multiple zones, or special requirements for period properties in Bath might take 2-3 days. We aim to minimise disruption and will provide a specific timeframe for your installation following our initial assessment.

Gas boilers should be serviced annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Regular servicing ensures safe operation, maintains efficiency, prevents breakdowns, and keeps manufacturer warranties valid. This is particularly important for older properties in Bath and Bristol where heating systems may face additional challenges. Annual servicing also fulfils landlord obligations for rental properties. We offer service reminder plans to ensure you never miss a service.

Correct boiler sizing depends on various factors including your property size, number of bathrooms, radiators, and hot water usage patterns. For typical Bath terraced houses, outputs of 24-30kW are common, while larger Bristol detached properties might require 30-40kW boilers. Georgian townhouses in Bath often have higher heat demands due to high ceilings and larger room sizes. Our Gas Safe engineers will perform heat loss calculations and assess your specific requirements to recommend the optimal boiler size for your property.

Yes, replacing an older boiler (10+ years) with a modern condensing model typically reduces gas consumption by 25-35%, offering significant savings on energy bills.
