What Boiler Brands Can You Have Installed?
We offer various different boilers here at Heatable, from a selection of award-winning brands to match a whole host of budgets.
Here are the brands we offer:
Worcester Bosch Boilers
Arguably the most well-known boiler producers of the land are Worcester Bosch. Their claim to the kingdom is fittingly backed with recognition from Her Majesty the Queen.
But with the fancy talk aside, the brand currently has a 4.8-star rating on Trust Pilot making them the third highest-rated boiler brand on the website. We also rank them as fourth among the best boiler brands to buy from in 2022.
Beyond that, Worcester Bosch has also won a Which? Best Buy Award for a full decade continuously. With great warranty offers, high-quality customer service and aftercare and easy-to-source parts, this brand is a force to be reckoned with.
Viessmann Boilers
This German brand may be pretty new to the UK market; however, they’ve been a powerhouse on the continent for decades now. So, Viessmann is by no means a new brand in the world of boiler manufacturing.
Viessmann is renowned for its high-end engineering while offering modern, sleek and top-performing boilers.
Not only that, but the company recently won the Which? Best Buy Award. Viessmann UK has a 4.4-star rating on Trust Pilot. We also consider them to be the best boiler brand to buy from in 2022.
Alpha Boilers
If you’re on a budget, one boiler brand you should seriously consider is Alpha boilers. Their products come with affordable pricing while still offering technically brilliant designs.
We consider Alpha to be the second-best boiler brand in the UK market. The brand also has a 4.6-star rating on Trust Pilot. But that’s not all. Purchase an Alpha boiler through Heatable and you’ll get a ten-year exclusive warranty!
How Long Does a New Boiler Installation Take?
First and foremost, if you book a new boiler instalment with us prior to 4 pm, we’ll do our best to get the boiler installed in as little as 24 hours.
But how long does the actual installation last? Well, this will depend on a range of factors like the complexity of the work and the type of installation.
Here are our timeframe estimates:
Installation Type | Duration |
Boiler Replacement | 1 day |
Boiler Replacement with Relocation | 1-2 days |
Convert from Regular to Combi Boiler | 2 days |
BBU Conversion to Combi Boiler | 2 days |
Note: If you want to know exactly how long everything will take, we can provide you with this information once we’ve given you a quote.
Got an emergency? Let’s say your boiler is busted and therefore you have no hot water, you should consider taking a look at our emergency boiler installation guide.
We can tell exactly how long everything will take as soon as you’ve received a quote from us.
Do I Need a New Boiler?
If you currently have a very old boiler installed in your home or/and one that frequently breaks down or it’s just completely busted, it’s probably time to have a new unit installed.
Boilers last about ten to fifteen years in most cases. Over time, their efficiency levels decline, and this means that your running costs will go up.
Losing money as a result of an old, inefficient boiler?
If you have an old non-condensing boiler, for instance, it could cost you more to run as well as be worse for the environment than modern A-rated boilers.
Boilers that have been going for a decade or more are classed as G-rated. This means their energy efficiency levels land around 70%. So, for every £1 you spend, approximately £0.30 is simply wasted if using a G-rated boiler.
But here’s the good news. Modern boilers (like the ones we install), come with efficiency levels of 90% or greater.
What if my boiler is beyond economical repair (BER)?
Another and indeed worse disadvantage of older boilers is that it’s more likely that they’ll break down. Not only that but your warranty is probably run out by now if you have an old boiler.
As a result, you’d find yourself regularly spending money on repairs and new parts. By this stage, it generally makes sense to just get a new boiler fitted.
In general, if components such as the heat exchanger or PCB need repairing or replacing on an old boiler, it will probably prove more cost-effective to get a new boiler installation.
Boiler Installation in Manchester - Final Take…
So, what should you take from all of this boiler madness?
Well, the good news is that Manchester prices are pretty good and around the same as the UK average.
Our take home-tip is to look around and get several quotes before deciding on the right heating engineer for you.
You should also check out any online reviews/ratings these installers may have on social media or/and their website, if applicable. Alternatively (or in addition), you could ask friends or family for any recommendations they have.
It’s worth spending a bit of time trying to find the best offer in your area and not simply the cheapest one but ideally, the one that looks like it will offer the best value for money (where quality and saving cash meet in a harmonious way - a manner of coexisting which the two football giants of Manchester never would).
Best of luck on your search for the right boiler installer! You’ve got this.
