What Boiler Brands Can You Have Installed?

At Heatable, we offer boiler models from a range of award-winning brands with options for those on different budgets.

Without further ado, here are the boiler brands on offer:

Viessmann Boilers

First and foremost, we have Viessmann, a popular German brand that has been a force on the European market for several decades. Despite being relatively new to the UK, they have proven themselves internationally over the years.

Notably, we’ve ranked Viessmann as number one in our guide to the top ten boiler brands to purchase from in 2022.

Among the reasons we’re a big fan of Viessmann is their high-end engineering, high-performance and modern, sleek boiler models. In addition, the brand has a 4.4-star rating on Trust Pilot and recently earned the Which? Best Buy Award.

Worcester Bosch Boilers

Arguably the most well-known British boiler brand is Worcester Bosch. With recognition from Her Majesty the Queen and a 4.8-star rating on Trust Pilot, this brand is a force to reckon with. Further, we consider Worcester Bosch to be the fourth best boiler brand on the market.

Worcester Bosch offers plenty of great warranties, their parts are easy to source, and they are known for fantastic customer service and aftercare. In addition, the boiler company has won a Which? Best Buy Award for more than a decade consecutively. 

Alpha Boilers

If you’d prefer a more budget-friendly brand but one that still offers high quality, consider Alpha. Despite being relatively cheaper, Alpha’s boilers are still recognized for their technical design brilliance.

We rank Alpha as number two among the best boiler brands to buy from. They also have a 4.6-star rating on Trust Pilot. Furthermore, you can purchase an Alpha boiler through Heatable and avail of a ten-year exclusive guarantee!

How Long Does a New Boiler Installation Take?

Want to know how long it generally takes to have a new boiler fitted? Ultimately, this will depend on a variety of factors such as the size and type of boiler being installed, whether you want to relocate your boiler and ease of access to the work area.

If you book a new boiler fitting with us prior to 4 pm, we’ll aim to get your new boiler installed in as little as twenty-fours!

Now, let’s look at the estimated time frames for how long the actual installation process itself takes. Again, this can vary based on a range of factors and thus are just estimates.

Please note that we can give you a sense of exactly how long the work should last after we’ve t given you a quote.

Do I Need a New Boiler?

If you have an especially old boiler (say a decade or more), one that breaks down regularly, or it’s just completely busted, it’s probably time to have a new model installed.

Boilers generally last around 10-15 years although it will depend on things like the quality of the boiler brand/model and how well it has been maintained. As the years go on, boilers lose efficiency and as a result, their running costs will go up with time.

Losing money due to an inefficient boiler?

If you have an old non-condensing boiler, you could be spending more to run it than if you were to have a modern A-rated boiler installed as a replacement. A modern option would also likely be more environmentally friendly.

A boiler that has been in use for over ten years would be deemed G-rated. This infers that their energy rating is around 70%. This would mean that for every £1 spent, 30p is wasted. Thankfully, however, modern A-rated boilers, like the ones we offer, feature efficiency levels of 90% or more.

What if my boiler is beyond economical repair (BER)?

Another problem with old boilers is that they come with a higher risk of breakdowns. Further, their warranties may already be discontinued.

This means that you might find yourself paying for new parts as well as repairs on a frequent basis. By this point, it’s probably better to just get a new boiler fitted. This could save you money in the long term.

This money-saving logic would also apply if you have an old boiler where the PCB or heat exchanger needs repairing or replacing.
