Boiler Installation Welwyn Garden City

New Boilers Planned Around Welwyn Garden City Homes

Most problems with new boilers come from what was not checked first: a gas pipe that is too small, a flue in the wrong place, a condensate pipe that freezes or a system that was never cleaned. We survey properly before we quote, and in Welwyn Garden City three things matter most.

Much of the original Garden City is covered by the Estate Management Scheme, so we plan the flue to the side or rear and tell you at the survey if a position may need checking with the council. The water is hard, so we fit scale protection where it is needed. And many older homes still have a 15mm gas supply, so we check the gas rate and include any upgrade in the quote.

We then size the boiler for your home and your hot water use. A combi suits most homes with one bathroom, and a system boiler with a cylinder usually suits homes with two. See our gas boiler installation page for more.

What Our Boiler Survey Covers

Every quote starts with a survey at your home. Where an old boiler vented into a chimney, a modern condensing boiler needs its own flue, and on a tank-fed system we check whether a combi or a system boiler will give you better hot water. These are the checks that decide what goes in your quote.

  • Flue Route and Position: Where the flue can terminate safely, the clearances needed from windows and boundaries, and whether the position is visible from the street under the Estate Management Scheme.

  • Hot Water Demand: How many bathrooms you have, how many people shower at once and how long the run is from the boiler to the furthest tap.

  • Gas Supply: A gas rate and pressure check, and whether the pipe from the meter needs upgrading for a modern boiler.

  • Existing System Condition: The state of the system water, radiators and pump, and whether a clean is needed before the new boiler goes on.

  • Condensate Route: Where the condensate pipe can drain, and how to keep any outside run from freezing.

Signs It Is Time for a New Boiler

If two or more of these sound familiar, replacing the boiler is often better value than another repair.

Repeat Breakdowns

The same faults coming back every winter, with parts getting harder and more expensive to find.

Hot Water Running Hot and Cold

Often scale in the heat exchanger of an older combi, which gets worse in hard water areas.

Rising Gas Bills

An older non-condensing boiler can use far more gas than a modern condensing model for the same heat.

Over 15 Years Old

Boilers of this age are usually less efficient and harder to repair economically.

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.

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.

Planning a New Boiler in Welwyn Garden City?

Boiler Installation Welwyn Garden City: Your Questions

Do I need permission for a new boiler flue in Welwyn Garden City?
A boiler replacement does not usually need planning permission, but much of the original Garden City is covered by the Estate Management Scheme, which controls visible changes to the outside of houses. We route the flue to the side or rear where possible, and if it would be visible from the street we tell you at the survey so you can check with Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council before going ahead.
Hard water leaves limescale in the parts that heat your hot water, especially the plate heat exchanger on a combi. Over time this causes hot water that runs hot and cold and reduces efficiency. We fit scale protection on the cold supply where it is needed, and a magnetic filter on the heating side to catch sludge.
A combi suits most homes with one bathroom, because it heats water on demand and needs no cylinder. If you have two bathrooms, or several people shower at the same time, a system boiler with an unvented cylinder usually gives better hot water. We recommend the type that suits how your household uses hot water.
Sometimes. Older homes often have a gas supply in 15mm pipe, which can be too small for a modern combi when it is heating hot water. We check the gas rate and pressure at the survey and, if an upgrade is needed, it is included in your quote.
A like for like replacement in the same position is usually finished in one day. Moving the boiler, or converting from a tank-fed system to a combi, normally takes two to three days, depending on the pipework involved.
Every installation is notified for Building Regulations through the Gas Safe Register, so you receive a compliance certificate. We also complete the Benchmark commissioning record and register the boiler with the manufacturer so the warranty is active.
