How long does a boiler installation take? +
A straightforward like-for-like combi boiler replacement typically takes one day — around 6 to 8 hours. If the boiler is being relocated, the flue route changed, or you are converting from a conventional system, the job can take 2 to 3 days. Your engineer should give you a clear timeline before starting and ensure you have hot water by the end of the final day.

What should I do if I smell gas near my boiler? +
If you smell gas, do not touch any electrical switches, do not light any flames, and open all windows and doors immediately. Turn off the gas supply at the meter using the emergency control valve — turn the handle so it sits across the pipe. Leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 from outside. Do not re-enter until given the all-clear.
How long does a boiler service take? +
A standard annual boiler service takes 30 to 45 minutes. The engineer will inspect the boiler internals, check gas pressure and flow rate, carry out a flue gas analysis, and test all safety devices. You will receive a service record which you should keep as proof for your warranty. The engineer should also flag any parts showing early signs of wear.
