What kind of installation are you having?
The type of boiler installation you’re having can have an impact on how long it takes for the installation to be completed. For example, if you are having a new boiler installed in a different room or a different part of the house, it can take a lot longer due to the additional pipes and other engineering which needs to take place in the background. However, you may be simply having a like for like boiler installed, in which case the process should be much quicker.
It will also depend on the type of boiler you have chosen. If you’ve moving from a conventional boiler to a combi boiler, this will also require some additional work so you could see the timescales increasing slightly.
What is the average time for a boiler to be installed?
If you’re looking to get a new boiler installed, one of the biggest questions will be how long does it take to install a boiler?
As experts in boiler installation, we understand the importance of getting your boiler up and running as quickly and as smoothly as possible. Not having hot water or heating can be a huge inconvenience, therefore ensuring it is installed efficiently is of paramount importance.
As mentioned above, it does depend on what kind of installation you are having, however on average we expect most boiler installations to take between one to three days on average. For a straight forward boiler swap, you’d be looking in the region of 4-6 hours as this is a fairly simple job for a heating engineer to carry out.
However for something more complex, for example a new system, it could take the heating engineer 2-3 days to complete the installation.
