New Boiler Installation in Dorset – The Igloo Heating Process
Replacing your boiler is a significant investment, so choosing the right heating company is important. At Igloo Heating, we understand that customers want a new boiler installed safely, professionally and with as little disruption to their home as possible.
Our Gas Safe registered heating engineers provide professional new boiler installation services throughout Dorset and the surrounding areas. From the initial assessment through to the final checks, we take care to ensure that your new heating system is installed correctly and is ready to provide reliable heating and hot water.
Whether you are replacing an old boiler, upgrading your heating system or looking for a more modern and efficient solution, Igloo Heating can help.
Choosing a New Boiler
The first stage of a new boiler installation is understanding your property's heating and hot water requirements.
Every home is different. The size of the property, number of radiators, number of bathrooms, hot water requirements and existing heating system can all influence which type and size of boiler is appropriate.
Our heating engineers can assess your existing system and discuss the available options with you.
Depending on the property, this could include a combi boiler, system boiler or conventional boiler.
We believe customers should understand what they are having installed and why, rather than simply being given a boiler model without an explanation.
Assessing Your Existing Heating System
Before installing a new boiler, our engineers assess the existing heating system.
This allows us to identify any potential issues that could affect the new installation.
We can assess areas such as:
Existing boiler
Gas supply
Heating pipework
Radiators
Central heating system
Hot water cylinder
Expansion vessel
Heating controls
Flue arrangements
Existing tanks and pipework
Where appropriate, we can also discuss whether the existing system would benefit from additional work, such as central heating repairs or power flushing, before the new boiler is installed.
The aim is to make sure the new boiler is installed as part of a properly functioning heating system.
Removing the Old Boiler
Once the installation has been agreed, our engineers can begin removing the existing boiler.
The heating and hot water system is carefully isolated before work begins.
The old boiler is disconnected and removed, along with any components that are being replaced as part of the installation.
We take care to protect the surrounding area while carrying out the work and aim to keep disruption to a minimum.
If the existing boiler is being replaced because it has reached the end of its working life, we can also discuss appropriate disposal of the old appliance.
Preparing for the New Boiler
Before fitting the new boiler, our engineers prepare the installation area.
This can involve checking pipework, preparing connections and ensuring that the boiler can be positioned correctly.
If the new boiler is being installed in a different location, additional pipework or other alterations may be required.
Our engineers will explain any necessary work before proceeding.
The objective is to create a safe, practical and professional installation rather than simply replacing one boiler with another.
Installing the New Boiler
The new boiler is then carefully positioned and installed.
Our Gas Safe registered engineers connect the boiler to the appropriate gas, heating and water systems.
Depending on the installation, this may include connecting:
Gas pipework
Central heating flow and return
Hot water pipework
Cold water supply
Condensate pipework
Boiler flue
Heating controls
Electrical connections
All connections are completed in accordance with the relevant requirements for the installation.
Installing the Boiler Flue
The boiler flue is an important part of the installation.
It safely removes combustion gases from the boiler to the outside of the property.
Our engineers ensure that the flue is correctly installed and positioned for the particular boiler and property.
The flue is then checked as part of the commissioning process.
Connecting the Heating System
Once the boiler has been installed, it is connected to the property's central heating system.
This allows the new boiler to circulate heated water through the radiators and provide heating throughout the property.
Our engineers check the heating system and connections carefully before bringing the boiler into operation.
If any existing components require attention, we can discuss this with the customer before completing additional work.
Installing or Upgrading Heating Controls
Modern heating controls can make it easier to manage your home's heating.
Depending on the installation, we can discuss options such as thermostats, programmers and other heating controls.
The appropriate controls will depend on the boiler, heating system and customer's requirements.
Our engineers can explain how the controls operate so that customers understand how to use their new heating system.
Commissioning the New Boiler
Installing the boiler is only part of the process.
Once everything has been connected, our engineers carry out the necessary commissioning checks.
The boiler is switched on and tested to ensure that it is operating correctly.
Our engineers check the heating and hot water operation and inspect the installation for any problems.
The system can then be adjusted as necessary to ensure that the boiler and heating system are operating correctly.
Checking Gas Safety
Gas safety is one of the most important parts of any boiler installation.
Because a boiler is a gas appliance, it is essential that the installation is carried out by an appropriately registered professional.
Our engineers are Gas Safe registered, giving customers confidence that their new boiler installation is being undertaken by qualified professionals.
Safety checks are carried out as part of the installation and commissioning process.
Testing the Radiators and Heating System
Once the boiler is operating, our engineers can test the heating system.
This includes checking that the radiators are heating correctly and that the system is circulating water properly.
If required, the heating system can be balanced or further investigated to ensure that the new boiler is working effectively with the existing central heating system.
Where a system contains significant contamination or sludge, we can also discuss whether power flushing is appropriate.
Testing Hot Water
The hot water system is also checked.
Depending on the type of boiler and property, this could involve testing hot water from taps and checking the operation of the hot water system.
For properties with cylinders or additional hot water components, these are checked as appropriate to the installation.
The aim is to ensure that customers have reliable heating and hot water before the installation is completed.
Cleaning Up After Installation
We understand that having a new boiler installed can be disruptive.
Our engineers therefore aim to keep the work area as tidy as possible throughout the installation.
Once the work is complete, the installation area is checked and cleaned.
We don't simply leave the property once the boiler has been connected. We want customers to be satisfied with both the installation and the finished result.
Explaining Your New Boiler
Before leaving, our engineers can explain how the new boiler and heating controls work.
This is particularly important when replacing an older boiler with a modern heating system.
Customers can learn how to:
Turn the heating on and off
Adjust the thermostat
Control hot water
Change heating schedules
Understand boiler controls
Identify basic boiler information
Understand what to do if the boiler displays a fault
We want customers to feel comfortable using their new heating system.
