New boilers in Bridgend
Replacing a boiler in Bridgend is a job we plan rather than rush. Bridgend sits towards the edge of our roughly 30-mile area from Briton Ferry, so we book installations there in advance, which gives time for a proper survey and a quote that holds no surprises.
Many homes around Bridgend still run older boilers fitted when the estate was built or the house was last modernised. Some have a tank in the loft and a cylinder upstairs, others an early combi that has started to give trouble. Either way, a new boiler starts with Chris looking at what is there and how your household uses heat and hot water.
A combi frees up the airing cupboard and gives hot water on demand, which suits many smaller Bridgend homes. A larger house with two bathrooms may be better with a system boiler and cylinder. Sometimes keeping the existing set-up and replacing like for like is the most sensible option. Chris will explain which suits you and why.
The old boiler is drained down and removed, the system is cleaned, and the new boiler is fitted, filled and tested. Before leaving, Chris shows you the controls and the pressure gauge. Our guide to how long a boiler installation takes explains what affects the length of the job.
Because we travel from Briton Ferry, Bridgend installations go into the diary as planned work. If your boiler is still working, that is the ideal time to get a quote. If it has failed, call and Chris will tell you honestly what he can do.
We work across Bridgend and nearby places such as Brackla, Broadlands and Pencoed. Newer estates often have combi boilers that are due their first replacement, usually in a kitchen cupboard or utility room, with a flue straight out of the wall. Older properties nearer the town centre more often have the boiler on an outside wall in a back room, with radiator pipework that has been extended over time.
A new boiler almost always comes with its own flue kit, made to match. The new flue may sit in the same hole, or it may need to move if it is too near a window, a boundary or a neighbour's door. Chris checks the clearances on the survey, so any change is written into the quote rather than discovered on the day.
Once the boiler is in, a yearly service keeps it running well and is usually needed for the manufacturer's warranty. Our boiler service in Bridgend page explains what that visit involves. Keep the paperwork Chris leaves, including the building control registration, as it is useful when you sell the house.
