What to Consider Before Boiler Installation
Understanding what’s involved in a professional boiler installation can help you make informed decisions and ensure you get the best system for your home. In London’s diverse housing stock, from Victorian terraces to modern apartments, each installation requires careful planning and expertise.
Key Considerations for Your New Boiler
Boiler Type Selection Choosing the right type of boiler is crucial for your home’s heating efficiency. London homes have different heating needs based on their size, age, and insulation.
Common Boiler Types:

- System Boilers – Ideal for larger homes with multiple bathrooms, store hot water in a cylinder
- Conventional Boilers – Best for older homes with existing heating systems, require both a cylinder and tank
Sizing Your Boiler Getting the right size boiler is essential for efficiency and comfort. London’s varying property sizes require careful calculation.
Sizing Factors:
- Number of bathrooms and radiators
- Property size and insulation
- Hot water usage patterns
- Number of occupants
Energy Efficiency Ratings With rising energy costs in London, choosing an energy-efficient boiler can save you money on your bills.
Efficiency Considerations:
- ErP ratings (A+++ to G)
