On the day of your boiler installation, the engineer will usually start by checking the work area, protecting nearby surfaces and safely removing the old boiler if a replacement is required.

A typical installation may include:

1. Removing the old boiler
2. Preparing pipework and fittings
3. Installing the new boiler
4. Connecting heating controls
5. Checking the flue and condensate pipe
6. Testing the heating and hot water system
7. Completing safety checks
8. Explaining how to use the boiler controls

Once the installation is complete, the engineer should test the boiler, check for safe operation and explain basic routine checks such as pressure monitoring and heating control use.

A standard combi boiler replacement can often be completed in one day if the new boiler is being fitted in the same location and the existing pipework is suitable.

More complex installations may take longer. These can include:

1. Changing boiler type
2. Moving the boiler to a new location
3. Upgrading pipework
4. Installing a system boiler or regular boiler
5. Adding new controls
6. Improving flue or condensate routes
7. Completing extra heating system work

For more complex work, boiler installation may take two days or more.
