Is there a best time of year to get a new boiler?

It's always going to be a big commitment when you decide to get a new boiler installed, as it takes time and of course, costs a fair amount of money! So, considering the importance of this investment, isn't it only natural that you complete it on time? Read this blog post by the team at J. Wheatley Gas, Plumbing, and Heating to find out when we believe this is the case.

When is the best time to get a new boiler?

As you will be without heat or hot water while your new boiler is being built, we recommend that homeowners have their new boilers installed during the warmer seasons, such as in summer. Because you can do without heat for a day or two while the weather outside is bright and sunny, installing a boiler during the summer is frequently seen as less disruptive than installing it during a colder month like winter.

However, in many cases, the team here at J. Wheatley Gas, Plumbing and Heating install new boilers because the old one has completely broken down past the point of no return, and if this happens during the winter, you won't be able to choose when to get your new boiler installed, as it will need to be as soon as possible!

In these cases, we can assure you that our objective is to install a new boiler for you as quickly as possible. Clearly, in this case, it is absolutely preferable to suffer through winter annoyance for a day or two rather than wait months for your central heating to be repaired!

Summer is the best time to book your boiler installation

Heating engineers' schedules are naturally less busy during the summer. During the winter, heating engineers have some of the busiest months. They have a lot on their plates at that time of year, from rushing to fix breakdowns to thawing frozen pipes. So take advantage of the quieter months. You're more likely to get an appointment at a convenient time, and you'll have more time to shop about and compare quotes from several installers.

It's important to remember that in some cases you might be without heat for 1-3 days if your boiler is replaced during the winter. This is not ideal, particularly in the cold. If the work is conducted during the summer months, you should be able to stay comfortable and prevent severe disturbances to your daily life.

Plan ahead of time to prepare for winter and get your new boiler today

Many people rush to replace their boilers during the winter. Especially if it has been disassembled. If you plan ahead and have your boiler installed in the summer, you may look into several types and brands of boilers. Increasing the likelihood of finding the appropriate low-cost boiler.
