HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO INSTALL AN OIL BOILER?

Installation may depend on various factors. Unless your boiler has an emergency breakdown, in which case we might be able to fast-track your installation, we will need to arrange for a home survey and it may take a couple of days for us to book an installation slot for you dependant on engineer availability in your area. Overall, it may take around one week from the initial point of contact to a finished boiler. As a guideline, we’ve provided timescales for different jobs. Please see the table. If you’re looking for information about other boiler installation timescales, please check our gas combi boiler page. or electric boiler page.

A typical install would include installation of a horizontal flue, Magna Clean, system flush, installations of Wi-Fi controls.
