Replacing Older Heating in Hertford Homes

Hertford has a real mix of heating systems. Around the historic town centre and Bengeo there are period properties with pipework that has been extended and rerouted over the decades. In post-war housing, including some homes around Sele Farm, you can still find an old back boiler sitting behind a gas fire, or a floor-standing boiler in a kitchen cupboard.

Replacing those older setups is a bigger job than a straight swap. A back boiler has to be safely decommissioned, the fireplace made good, and a new wall-hung boiler fitted with a flue that meets current rules. We plan all of that at the survey so the quote covers the whole job.

We install mains gas boilers. Some homes on the edges of Hertford are off the gas grid and run on oil or LPG, so if that is you, tell us when you call and we will let you know straight away whether we can help. For other work in the town, see our Hertford plumbing and heating page.

Common Hertford Installation Jobs

These are the situations we plan around most when replacing a boiler in Hertford.

  • Back Boiler Removal: Old back boilers behind gas fires are decommissioned safely and replaced with a modern wall-hung boiler in a better position.

  • Floor-Standing Boilers: Large floor-standing boilers can be replaced with a compact wall-hung model, freeing up cupboard space.

  • Period Properties: Older buildings near the town centre often need a careful flue route and a look at ageing pipework before a new boiler goes in.

  • Combi or Cylinder: Smaller homes usually suit a combi. Homes with two bathrooms often do better with a system boiler and an unvented cylinder.

  • Hard Water: Hertford water is hard, so we fit scale protection where the regulations require it and a filter to protect the new boiler.

Is Your Old Boiler Holding You Back?

Older heating systems tend to show the same warning signs before they fail.

A Back Boiler Still in Use

Back boilers are now very old technology. Parts are scarce and efficiency is poor compared with a modern condensing boiler.

Pilot Light Problems

An older boiler with a pilot light that keeps going out is often not worth repairing again.

Slow, Uneven Heating

If radiators take an age to warm, an old boiler and sludged pipework may both need attention.

High Gas Bills

Older non-condensing boilers send a large share of their heat up the flue. A modern boiler wastes far less.

Really happy with the work carried out by Alban Plumbing and Heating. They fitted several new radiators in my home and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. They arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and took great care while working in the house. The installation was completed to a high standard, everything was left clean and tidy, and the new radiators look fantastic and heat up perfectly. It's refreshing to find a company that is reliable, communicates well, and clearly takes pride in their work. I wouldn't hesitate to use Alban Plumbing and Heating again and would happily recommend them to friends and family.

The engineer arrived on time, quickly identified the problem, and explained everything clearly before carrying out the work. The job was completed to a high standard, and everything was left clean and tidy afterwards. What stood out most was their professionalism, reliability, and honest approach. Communication was great throughout, and the pricing was fair with no unexpected surprises. I would highly recommend Alban Plumbing and Heating Ltd to anyone in St Albans and the surrounding areas looking for a trustworthy plumbing and heating company. I will definitely use them again in the future.

Asif has done a great job looking after our plumbing and heating for several years now. He also recently attended in under an hour to fix an emergency leak that he and his son sorted with great efficiency allowing us to get back to work and continue operating with minimal disruption to our business and patients. He’s reasonably priced and friendly and I’m sure we will be using him for many years to come. His 5 star status is well deserved.
