We provide many boiler models at Heatable as offered by a variety of award-winning boiler brands. These models also fit a diverse range of budgets.

Here are the boiler brands we offer:

Worcester Bosch Boilers

Possibly the most well-known UK boiler company is Worcester Bosch. This highly-rated British brand has gained recognition from The Queen and has a 4.8-star rating among customers on Trust Pilot. It won’t surprise you to know that it makes the top five of our best boiler guide.

Further, this prominent brand provides a range of great warranties and is known for its top-of-the-market customer service and aftercare. And here’s another thing; their parts are also fairly easy to source. With the reliability of these boilers, however, you shouldn’t need to seek replacement parts often.

Another noteworthy thing about Worcester Bosch is that they’ve secured a Which? Best Buy Award for over ten years in a row; a fantastic achievement.

Viessmann Boilers

We’ve all heard plenty about high-quality German engineering and Viessmann is a brand that personifies this. While relatively new to the UK market, Viessmann has been a powerful brand on the European continent for decades.

But that’s not all. We also consider Viessmann to be the number one boiler brand to buy from in the UK market. Viessmann offers modern and sleek boilers with high performance.

The brand also has a 4.4-star rating on Trust Pilot and recently earned the Which? Best Buy Award. Ultimately, there’s a lot to love about this popular boiler company.

Alpha Boilers

Looking for a more budget-oriented brand? Then Alpha would be a solid choice.

However, not only are their boilers affordable but they still offer a technically brilliant design. So, you want to have to settle for a ‘low-budget performance’ if going with Alpha’s boilers.

Alpha ranks second in our guide to the best boiler brands. They also have a 4.6-star rating among customers on Trust Pilot. What’s more, if you purchase an Alpha boiler through us, you can benefit from a 10-year exclusive warranty.

How Long Does a New Boiler Installation Take?

The actual time frame of the work itself will depend on various factors such as the complexity of the job and ease of access to the work area.

Do I Need a New Boiler?

There are various scenarios where you’d want to have a new boiler fitted. 

Here are some examples of when you should probably have your boiler replaced:

• Your existing boiler is particularly old.
• The boiler breaks down regularly.
• If your boiler is totally busted.

Most boilers have a lifespan of around 10 to 15 years and as they age, their efficiency levels go down. As their energy efficiency rating declines, running costs will go up.

Losing money due to an old and inefficient boiler?

If you have an ageing non-condensing boiler, you may find yourself spending more on running costs than you would with a modern A-rated boiler model.

Modern boilers are also generally more eco-friendly. For these reasons and more, it will probably save you money overall to simply have an older non-condensing boiler replaced with a modern alternative.

If your boiler has been around for 10+ years, it would be classed as G-rated meaning that its efficiency rating would be around 70%.

In this case, for every £1 you spend, you get 70p worth of energy out of it and 30p is totally wasted. Modern A-rated boilers, however, feature an energy efficiency rating of 90% or more.

If your current boiler is particularly old, breaks down on a regular basis or is completely busted, you should probably get a new one fitted.

What does it mean for a boiler to be beyond economical repair (BER)?

One difficulty that can arise with old boilers is the higher chance that they’ll break down. Furthermore, the warranty has likely expired at this point.

Without an active warranty, you may be finding yourself paying for repairs and new parts on a regular basis. At that point, it’s probably best to simply have a new boiler fitted.

This logic would also apply (in terms of saving money overall) if you have an old boiler where components like the heat exchanger or PCB need to be repaired or even replaced. This is because repairing/replacing these parts does not come cheap.
