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.

Our boiler engineers in Lisburn work on all major brands including Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, Ideal, Viessmann, Glow-worm, and Potterton. Many are manufacturer-approved installers, meaning they can offer extended warranties on new installations. If you have a less common boiler brand, let us know and we will match you with an engineer who has experience with your specific model.

Boiler repairs in Lisburn typically cost between £150 and £400, depending on the fault and the parts required. Common repairs like replacing a faulty diverter valve or fan motor sit at the lower end, while PCB (printed circuit board) replacements can push costs higher. A Gas Safe registered engineer will diagnose the fault and provide a fixed quote before starting any work.

A boiler that loses pressure gradually over weeks usually has a small leak somewhere in the system — often a radiator valve or a pipe joint. This is not an immediate emergency but needs investigating. If the pressure drops rapidly or the boiler is cutting out repeatedly, call an engineer promptly. You can repressurise the boiler using the filling loop as a temporary fix, but this does not solve the underlying problem.

Warning signs include a yellow or orange boiler flame instead of blue, dark staining around the boiler, increased condensation on windows, and a pilot light that frequently goes out. Symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure include headaches, dizziness, nausea and confusion. If you suspect a carbon monoxide leak, open windows, leave the property immediately and call the Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. Fit a CO alarm near your boiler — they cost under £20 and save lives.

A leaking boiler should always be taken seriously. While a small drip from a pressure relief valve may indicate a minor issue, water leaking from the boiler casing can damage internal electrics and create a safety hazard. Turn off the boiler and the water supply to it, place a container under the leak, and call a Gas Safe registered engineer. Never attempt to repair a boiler leak yourself.
