What Can You Expect During a Boiler Installation Appointment?
A failing boiler might exhibit a long list of symptoms, or you may notice only one or two signs that the system is failing. Some indications include higher energy bills, heating loss, and the odor of rotten eggs. No matter why your unit is failing, you can’t put off a new boiler installation. Here’s what to expect during the installation process.
Will a Boiler Replacement Include a Home Survey?
Yes, a home survey is an important part of the installation. In the years since your last boiler installation, the evolution of technology has led to changes in the size and design of the equipment. This means you may need a smaller boiler size and gas or electrical line upgrades.
You might also want to change the location of the boiler. The technician can help you find a better area or determine whether you need different supports for new boiler systems.
The Installers Will Remove Your Old Boiler
Installing boilers involves removing the old equipment. This is a process that takes longer than you might expect. The installation team will have to flush all of the water from the boiler and the connected lines. You can shorten the time it takes to complete this step by emptying the boiler ahead of time.
Once the lines are clear, the installers can begin disconnecting the equipment. They will remove the boiler and the lines since they will add connections to your replacement boiler.
Installers Will Install and Connect the New Boiler
If you also scheduled additional services, such as a thermostat replacement, this is the time the installers will provide those services. When they’re ready to finish the boiler installation, they will position the unit in the predetermined location. They will have already installed the supports for the replacement boiler.
After positioning and securing the boiler, the installers will connect various lines to the unit. This includes lines to the water heater, radiators, plumbing system, and electrical system. The installation concludes by connecting the boiler to a flue and ventilation network. The flue carries exhaust outside your home to prevent harmful exposure.
Will the Installers Conduct Safety Checks and Test the System?
Installing a boiler includes testing the system for proper operation. The installers will test for gas and water pressure leaks as they start the system. The testing phase includes filling the boiler with water and testing its operation. The installers will check for correct operation in addition to ensuring the safety features are fully operational.
The team might also offer some heating efficiency tips before turning the system over to you. Before leaving your home, the installers will pack up their equipment and remove any waste resulting from the installation. Your new boiler will be the only sign they leave behind.
