Gordon Tucker
We have used Terry 3 times now once for a new boiler and twice for air conditioning units, on all three occasions Terry's teams have performed with the utmost professionalisum and have been bot polite and sociable. All in all I would gice TM Hughs & Sons 100% and will keep going back to them for all my plumbing needs.
Paul
Alex recently upgraded and installed a new boiler for us. He was professional and very tidy and we would thoroughly recommend him in the future. Thanks Alex.
Matthew Jones
Had TM Hughes & Sons install a new boiler and couldnโ€™t be happier with the service. They were professional from start to finish, arrived on time, and got the job done efficiently with minimal disruption. The engineers were friendly, tidy, and clearly knew what they were doing. Everything was explained clearly, including how the new system works. Would definitely recommend them and wouldnโ€™t hesitate to use them again for future work.
Peter Nellies
Was having a problem trying to bind my new boiler wireless thermostat with the receiver and telephoned Terry at 5pm to tell him of my problem. He told me that he would arrange for an engineer to call the following day and at 1pm they arrived and the problem was resolved within the hour. Great service once again. Thank you.
Bryan Miles
The response to my initial enquiry was prompt and Dylan arrived within the timeslot indicated. The problems with the boiler were quickly identified and the need for a replacement was evident, though I was not pressured into that solution. The new boiler was fitted quickly and with no mess left behind.
Orla O'Brien
Great communication and customer service from the Team. Our boiler finally broke, Alex fitted a new boiler & pressure cylinder few months later, he was prompt professional & carried out the jobs efficiently to high standards. Very happy with the qoute & works done ๐Ÿ˜Š
David Shearing
When our combi boiler recently failed (terminally) I gave Terry a ring and asked if they could fit a new boiler quickly. He had provided a quote for a replacement about 6 months ago and he agreed to honour the price. It was fitted within the week. Terry and Pawel did a superb job on the day. Terry was very supportive throughout.
Roy Farmer
Terry and his team recently installed my new downstairs cloakroom and also installed our boiler as well, can not recommend these guys highly enough, work is always carried out to a high standard and house left clean and tidy afterwards.

Due to a stupid mistake by myself, we ended up with a leak in our hallway upstairs that found its way into our kitchen! A quick call to Terry and arrangements made for one of his team to come and fix which they did, very efficiently and professionally and the young fella that did the job was a credit to TM Hughes! Being an ex Royal Mail employee, I recognised this as a 'First Class' service.....I will definitely be using this company again and will gladly recommend in the future.

Why Chelmsford Homeowners Choose TM Hughes & Son

A boiler fault does not always mean you need a new boiler. Low pressure, poor circulation or faulty controls can cause heating problems. We’ll look at any faults before recommending replacement.

Our approach includes:

  • Fault checks
  • Clear advice
  • Repair options
  • Replacement advice
  • No sales pressure

Diagnose First. Recommend Second.

If your boiler can be repaired, we will explain the option. If replacement makes more sense, we will explain why.

You can then decide which route is right for your home and budget.

A New Boiler Which Works With Your Whole System

Installing a new boiler does not solve every heating issue on its own. The boiler needs to work with the pipework, radiators, controls and other parts already in your home.

We look for anything which could limit performance or reliability after installation. Where changes are needed, we explain them before the work goes ahead.

Once installed, the boiler and heating system are tested and commissioned. Weโ€™ll show you how to use your Boiler and get the most out of it before leaving.

Local Accountability After Installation

Good workmanship matters during the installation and long after we leave. We work with care, keep disruption under control and aim for a neat finish.

You also have a local team to come back to. We provide ongoing boiler servicing, service plans and heating support after installation.

TM Hughes & Son is a multi-award-winning company recognised by ThreeBestRatedยฎ and the London & South East England Prestige Awards. We have also earned hundreds of five-star Google reviews from customers across Essex.

What you can expect:

  • Qualified engineers
  • Clear recommendations
  • No sales pressure
  • Careful workmanship
  • Clear demo after installation
  • Local support

When Should You Replace Your Boiler?

An old boiler does not always need replacing. If it is safe, reliable and heating your home well, keeping it may make sense.

Replacement is worth considering when the boiler becomes unreliable, costly to run or no longer meets your needs.

Signs You May Need a New Boiler

You may want to consider replacement if:

  • Heating or hot water is poor
  • Breakdowns are becoming common
  • Repair costs are rising
  • The boiler is old and inefficient
  • Your heating needs have changed
  • You are extending your home

A fault does not always mean you need a new boiler.

Our engineers will assess the boiler and heating system first. We will then explain the repair and replacement options.

finance-options-for-homeowners
how-much-can-a-new-boiler-save-you

How Much Could a New Boiler Save You?

A new boiler can use less gas than an old, inefficient boiler. How much you save depends on your old boiler, your home and how much heating you use.

The average gas unit rate from July to September 2026 is 7.33p per kWh. Modern A-rated condensing gas boilers can reach 92โ€“94% efficiency.

For this example, weโ€™ll compare a 60% efficient boiler with a new boiler running at 92%. Weโ€™ll use a medium-sized home which needs 12,000 kWh of useful heat each year:

  • Old boiler at 60% efficiency: Uses 20,000 kWh of gas, costing around ยฃ1,466 per year.
  • New boiler at 92% efficiency: Uses around 13,043 kWh of gas, costing around ยฃ956 per year.
  • Potential annual saving: Around ยฃ510 per year.

The standing charge is not included. You would pay the same gas standing charge with either boiler.

The ยฃ510 saving is an example, not a guaranteed saving. Your savings will depend on your boiler, home, heating use and gas tariff.

Benefits of Installing a New Boiler

A new boiler can use less gas than an old, inefficient model. This can lower your heating bills. Your savings will depend on your old boiler, property and heating use.

A new boiler can also improve heating and hot water reliability. Changing your boiler type may also free up space in your home.

Benefits include:

  • Lower energy use: An efficient boiler can use less gas to heat your home.
  • Lower heating bills: Using less gas can reduce your annual heating costs.
  • Improved reliability: A new boiler reduces the risk of age-related faults and breakdowns.
  • Better heating and hot water: The right boiler can meet your household’s heating and hot water needs.
  • Warranty cover: Selected boilers come with manufacturer warranties of up to 12 years.
  • Better heating controls: Modern controls help you manage when and how you heat your home.
  • More space: A combi boiler can remove the need for a hot water cylinder and some storage tanks.

Boiler Replacement in Chelmsford

Your boiler may need replacing before the rest of your central heating system. If the pipework and radiators are in good condition, much of the existing system can remain in place.

TM Hughes & Son replaces boilers throughout Chelmsford. The work required will depend on your boiler, heating system and any changes needed.

A boiler replacement can include:

  • Like-for-like boiler replacements
  • Changing boiler type
  • Moving a boiler to a new location
  • Pipework changes
  • New heating controls
  • Heating system upgrades

How Long Does a Boiler Replacement Take?

A like-for-like boiler replacement can often be completed in one day. More work is needed when changing boiler type, location or other parts of the heating system.

Changing from a regular or system boiler to a combi can involve removing tanks or cylinders. Pipework may also need changing.

We will explain the work and expected installation time before the job starts.

Free Home Boiler Survey

The first step is a free, no-obligation home survey with one of our Gas Safe registered engineers.

We will assess your boiler and heating system. Weโ€™ll discuss your heating and hot water needs. You can also ask us any questions about the installation.

During the survey, we consider:

  • Your existing boiler and heating system
  • Heating and hot water demand
  • Boiler type and size
  • Boiler location
  • Pipework and controls
  • Your budget

We can then recommend boilers which meet the needs of your home.

A survey is also useful for extensions and renovations where your heating needs may have changed.

Choosing the Right Boiler for Your Home

Choosing the right boiler will help your heating system meet the needs of your home. The best choice depends on your property, heating system and hot water use.

Our engineers assess these factors during your free home survey. We can then recommend boilers which suit your home and budget.

Choosing the Right Boiler Size

Boiler size is measured in kilowatts (kW). Choosing the right output involves more than counting bedrooms or radiators.

A boiler which is too small may struggle to meet demand. A boiler which is larger than you need can cost more without offering any benefit.

When choosing your boiler size, we consider:

  • Property size and heat loss
  • Number and size of radiators
  • Number of bathrooms
  • Heating and hot water demand
  • Existing heating system
  • Boiler type

Hot water demand is also important when sizing a combi boiler. Combi boilers heat water as you use it. The boiler needs enough output to meet your householdโ€™s needs.

Where Should a New Boiler Be Installed?

Keeping your new boiler in the same location can reduce the work and cost of installation.

Moving the boiler may make sense if you want to free up space. It may also be needed after an extension or changes to your homeโ€™s layout.

Our engineers can discuss suitable locations during your home survey. We consider the gas supply, pipework, flue, condensate drainage and access for future servicing.

choosing-the-right-boiler-for-your-home
what-type-of-boiler-should-you-choose

What Type of Boiler Should You Choose?

There are three main types of domestic gas boiler: combi, system and regular. Regular boilers are also known as heat-only boilers.

The right type depends on your home, available space and hot water needs.

Your options include:

  • Combi boilers: Heating and hot water from one compact unit
  • System boilers: Work with a separate hot water cylinder
  • Regular boilers: Work with a cylinder and traditional heating system

Combi Boilers

Combi boilers deliver heating and hot water from one unit. They do not need a separate hot water cylinder or cold water storage tank.

Their compact design makes them a good option for homes where space is limited. Water is heated when you turn on a hot tap, so there is no cylinder of stored hot water.

The boiler and incoming mains water supply need to meet your householdโ€™s hot water demand.

System Boilers

System boilers use a separate hot water cylinder. They can be a good choice for homes with higher hot water demand or more than one bathroom.

The cylinder stores hot water for use around the home. A system boiler does not need the separate feed and expansion tank used with a traditional regular boiler system.

Regular Boilers

Regular boilers are also known as heat-only or conventional boilers. They are often found in older homes with traditional heating systems.

A regular boiler works with a separate hot water cylinder and cold water storage tank. This setup can provide stored hot water for homes with higher demand.
