Boiler Installation Budleigh Salterton

For a like-for-like swap inside the house, normally not. It's the outside that counts. A new flue on the front elevation, or taking down a chimney stack, can need consent, so we check your address before quoting and suggest routes that avoid the problem where we can.

Yes. In the older period houses the boiler often ended up in a scullery or a kitchen corner decades ago. Moving it to a utility, airing cupboard or loft is a common request, and our boiler relocation page explains what affects the cost.

Probably just a sensible flue position. Salt spray is worst on the front row facing the sea. A little further back you still get the wind, so we keep the terminal sheltered and make sure the condensate pipe won't freeze on a cold night.

Usually. A bungalow with a main bathroom and an en suite runs well on a combi, provided two showers are rarely on at the same moment and the mains flow is decent. We measure the flow at the kitchen tap during the survey. If it is weak, a system boiler with a cylinder will serve you better.

Some cottages out in the villages were never connected to the gas main. For those we fit oil boilers through our OFTEC registered engineers, LPG boilers, or air source heat pumps through MCS certified installers. Our page on oil boiler installation across Devon covers the oil side, and we can compare running a heat pump at the survey.
