What happens when new boilers meet old heating systems?
Problems to consider are potential leaks from old pipework and fittings, as well as the possibility of corrosion problems if the water from an old system is allowed to circulate freely around a brand-new condensing boiler. Heat exchangers in modern condensing boilers are highly susceptible to debris in the heating system.
How long does it take for a boiler to be installed?
Depending on the complexity of the installation, a system boiler installation can take anywhere between 1 and 3 days. The quickest and most straightforward type of system boiler installation is a like-for-like replacement. The installation of a system boiler will take longer when it’s replacing a different type of heating system.

Why are combi boilers not good for high demand homes?
In particular, they are not well suited to homes that have a high demand for hot water as they are only designed to support one outlet at a time. Because combi boilers typically switch the burner from heating to hot water when there is demand, heating performance can also be impacted in high demand households.
