Boiler Installation in Chingford
We are based in Chingford, so new boiler surveys and installations across E4 are on our doorstep, from Chingford Mount and Highams Park to North Chingford.
Chingford is home turf for us. Our base is in E4, which means we can usually survey your home quickly, talk you through the options in person and fit your new boiler without long travel times eating into the day. Most of the boilers we replace here are in 1920s and 1930s semis and terraces, and many of them are still regular boilers fed by a cold water tank in the loft.
Swapping loft tanks for a combi
The most common job we do in Chingford is converting an old regular boiler, with its hot water cylinder and loft tanks, to a modern combi. You get hot water on demand, an empty airing cupboard and a loft free of tanks and pipework. Before recommending a combi we test your mains water pressure and flow, because a combi can only perform as well as the water coming into the house, and we check whether the gas pipe needs upgrading to feed it.
Larger homes in North Chingford
Some of the bigger houses around North Chingford and Chingford Green have two or more bathrooms. If showers are regularly used at the same time, a system boiler with a mains-pressure cylinder is often the better choice, and we will tell you honestly if a combi would leave you short of hot water.
Fitting a boiler in a Chingford semi
In a typical semi the boiler sits in the kitchen or on an external wall, which keeps the flue simple. A like-for-like combi swap usually takes a day; a conversion from a tank-fed system takes two to three days because the cylinder and tanks come out and pipework is capped off. We flush the system, fit a magnetic filter and controls, and register the installation with Gas Safe.
