Why Homeowners in Basildon Trust TM Hughes & Son
A new boiler is only as good as the installation behind it. Your boiler, pipework, heating controls and radiators all need to work together if you want reliable heating and hot water for years to come.
We Look Beyond the Boiler
Our Gas Safe registered engineers look beyond replacing the boiler itself. We assess the heating system as a whole, considering how every major component works together. The size of the boiler, the existing pipework, system controls and radiator performance all influence how efficiently your new heating system will operate.
Designed to Perform. Installed to Last
Every installation starts with careful planning. An oversized boiler can cost more to buy and run. One which is too small may struggle to meet demand. We recommend a boiler which suits your property, your heating requirements and your budget.
If your existing heating system includes components which are still working correctly, we’ll tell you. If we believe replacing or upgrading part of the system will improve reliability, efficiency or performance, we’ll explain the reasons and let you decide.
Quality Workmanship from a Local Team
Good workmanship should be easy to see. We aim to install boilers neatly, keep pipework organised, protect your home during the work and commission the heating system before we leave. We’ll also explain the controls, answer your questions and make sure you’re confident using your new boiler.

Boiler installation or replacement?
Boiler replacement is where we remove and upgrade an existing boiler with a new one.
Boiler installation is when a boiler and heating system are fitted into a new building or extension.
Or
When the existing central heating system is stripped out and replaced with a brand-new boiler and system.
Replacement
Boiler replacements are more common than installations. Boilers last only half the time as the rest of the central heating system, pipes, radiators, cylinders, etc.
A serviced boiler will last around 10-15 years, while the other components of a central heating system can last up to 30 years.
The boiler is the central heating system’s most important component and usually the first part that needs replacing. In this instance, we’ll remove your old current and then put a modern boiler in its place.
A new boiler will usually work correctly with the components of the existing central system. When we replace your boiler, you may need/want to upgrade parts of the existing central heating system.
For example
You may need a more powerful pump or want thermostatic valves fitted to existing radiators.
Whatever your boiler needs, our qualified engineers will replace it or upgrade your heating system quickly.
Installation
When building a new property, you’ll need a new boiler and central heating system installed. With a new build, it’s easy to design the perfect system. An existing central heating system does not constrain you.
If you own an older property, you may want the old boiler and system completely removed and replaced.
If you have had an extension built, changes to the existing central heating system will likely be needed. A larger boiler will likely be required to power the extra radiators, new bathrooms, and hot taps.
Boiler Finance Options Available
Finance options are available through a regulated third-party finance provider. To make the cost of Boiler installations more manageable,
We act solely as an introducer, enabling customers to apply for Boiler finance separately. Finance is subject to status and credit checks, with 0% APR Representative options available for eligible applicants.

When Should You Upgrade Your Boiler?
Ideally, boilers should be upgraded every ten years. After a decade, they start to lose their efficiency.
If your boiler is serviced annually, you can expect it to last longer, but it’ll still get less efficient as it ages.
New Boilers vs Old Boilers For Energy Efficiency
Poor boiler energy efficiency is bad news for the homeowner as the boiler accounts for up to 60% of the total household energy spent.
The best modern condensing boilers offer up to 99% efficiency.
Old boilers run as low as 55% efficiency. That’s 45% wastage if you live in a typical semi-detached home.
If your boilers running at 55% efficiency, you’re wasting up to £500 a year.
Modern condensing boilers collect excess gas, which is then recycled to heat water.
New condensing boilers will run at least 90% energy efficient. Spend a bit more money for a 99% energy-efficient boiler.
Other New Boiler Benefits
Feel The Difference Instantly
Once the new boiler is installed, the central heating system is set and balanced. Your home will feel warmer and cosier.
Environmentally & Pocket-Friendly
When you get your gas bill, you’ll be surprised. Your new efficient boiler is cheaper to run and lowers your carbon footprint, making your home greener.
Freedom From Breakdown
Old boilers are prone to breakdown in the middle of winter when they’re forced to work hard.
When a boiler breaks down, you’re left with a cold home while waiting for an engineer to source the parts to fix it.
Sometimes, parts can be sourced easily, and boilers repaired swiftly (this usually depends on how old your boiler is). However, some parts are challenging to obtain, and some are discontinued and unobtainable. In these cases, you have no option but to replace your boiler.
After installation, you can relax knowing that new boilers don’t break down.
The Boiler Installation Survey
There are many different types, makes and sizes of boilers.
The best boiler for your property will depend on a few factors, such as
- The size of your home
- Number of Bathrooms
- Number of radiators
- Hot water usage
- Available space
- Existing boiler location,
- Existing heating system
- Available fuel at your property
TM Hughes offers a free survey for boiler installations in Basildon.
An engineer can visit your home anytime to discuss your boiler and central heating needs and determine the best boiler for your home and your budget.
Unlike other companies, you’ll be sent a gas-safe registered engineer. Highly experienced in boiler installations, not a high-pressure salesman (who’s never fitted a boiler)
After the survey, you’ll be given a free, no-obligation quote
What Goes Into A Boiler Installation Survey?
One of our engineers will inspect your current heating system (if you have one) and discuss a range of boiler and central heating options for your home.
These include
Types Of Boiler
The type of boiler you need depends on the size of your home, available space, hot water, and heating requirements. Installing a new boiler is not one-size-fits-all. But, there is a perfect boiler for your home and budget. We’ll find it during the survey.
Combi Boilers
Combi boilers are often found in smaller homes, perfect for those who don’t require lots of hot water.
Water’s heated from the mains by a heating element whenever you turn on the hot tap.
Combi boilers don’t require water tanks, water cylinders, or a central heating pump ( The pumps located inside the boiler)
Combi boilers are the quickest type of boiler to install and service.
Half of the boilers fitted each year in the UK are combi boilers.
System Boilers
System boilers work better for the typical 3-4 bedroom Basildon homes, utilising a hot water cylinder for storage. There’s always enough water for multiple hot taps and Bathrooms.
System boilers can use unvented pressurised cylinders that don’t need a feed tank. These cylinders use less space and provide better pressure to taps and showers.
Vented systems need a water tank and use gravity to deliver the water.
The heating system will usually have a pump. It moves the hot water around the radiators.
Regular Boilers
Regular boilers are best for larger homes with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, such as five bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The regular boiler incorporates a hot water cylinder and a feed and expansion tank in the loft. This setup requires the most space but simultaneously enables lots of hot water from multiple taps.
Many older Basildon Homes still have regular boilers. If you live in a small to medium-sized home with a regular boiler, we may recommend upgrading to a simpler system or even a combi boiler to free up space.
Fuel Type
You likely require a gas boiler; most boilers in Basildon are gas. Homes off the gas grid will have an electric oil or LPG boiler.
Boiler Sizes
All boiler types are available in three different sizes: 24-27kw, 28-32kw, and 35-42kw (KW is the measure of power).
The size of the boiler you need will depend on the size of your home, the number of bathrooms, the number of radiators, and your hot water usage.
- A small home with under ten radiators will need a 24 to 27 kW boiler
- Medium-sized homes with 10 to 15 radiators will need a 28 to 32-kW boiler
- Larger homes with more than 15 radiators will need a 35 to 40 kW boiler

Where To Fit Your New Boiler
Some homeowners want to have their boilers moved during a boiler replacement.
We often remove the old boiler and install a new one, the cheapest and least disruptive option.
For new installs, we’ll put your new boiler somewhere discreet. It’s typically behind the kitchen, in a kitchen cabinet, or inside a cupboard. It will be out of your way.
The Central Heating System
Your heating system has many parts, apart from the boiler. These include radiators, a pump, cylinders, controls, and sometimes water tanks. We must consider the existing system or what you want from a brand new one.
You might be happy with your current central heating system and its workings and only want your boiler replaced.
Alternatively, you may want to upgrade. Get the latest thermostatic radiator valves and smart heating controls.
During the survey, an engineer will discuss all the possible options with you to build/upgrade your central heating system as you see fit.
The Boiler Installation
If you want TM Hughes & Son to install your boiler, we’ll schedule a convenient date and order the boiler and parts.
On the day, everything will be prepared so we can install your boiler swiftly, efficiently, and tidyly.
Once the boilers are installed, they’re tested along with the central heating system to ensure everything works properly. Our engineers can also balance your radiators and set your valves and controls.
Once finished, you can relax and enjoy your upgraded boiler and fully optimised heating system.
