Jonathan Scates
Excellent service from TM Hughes as always. We had our old hot water system replaced with a new combi boiler, which involved relocating the boiler and removing the old tanks from the loft. Dylan worked incredibly hard, and the final result was exceptionally neat and well done. We stayed elsewhere during the three-day installation and felt completely confident trusting him with a key to our home. He stayed in regular contact and kept us updated throughout the entire process. Any extra decisions were run by us first, so there was no unexpected cost or unwanted surprises. We have used TM Hughes before for a similar job in a previous property and will continue to do so. Terry is always easy to reach and consistently remembers who you are when you call. I honestly cannot recommend them highly enough!

A friend recommended T.M.Hughes as was very happy with the work & engineer. So I contacted & Terry came round to supply a quote & was extremely friendly & polite. Alex fitted our new boiler & I felt very comfortable & at ease in his presence. He was very neat & tidy. He explained how to use the boiler & reasons for the settings. He didn’t assume the new thermostat would be in same position as old & asked where I would like. Would happily recommend anyone wanting work done to use this company.
David Spittle

Can't speak highly enough of Terry & his staff. Terry gave a very competitive quote for the work needed & fully informed me of what was involved. He was more than happy to answer any questions i had regarding the job, which was very helpful. Alex installed my new boiler, i was impressed with his time keeping & he worked non stop all day long. He also cleaned up as he went along. The quality of his work is excellent i am very impressed, its great to have peace of mind that you have a plumbing company like this that you can call on if & when needed. I would definitely recommend them.

Why Install A New Boiler?

The first step is deciding whether you need a new boiler.

A household boiler accounts for 55-60% of your annual energy bill. As boilers age, they lose efficiency.

Annual boiler servicing ensures your boiler runs as efficiently as possible. Even so, boilers lose efficiency over time.

The latest condensing boilers run at 90%+ efficiency, which means only 10% of fuel is wasted. Some condensing boilers are even 99% efficient.

Condensing boilers catch wasted gas. They use it to heat water running through the heating system.

Older non-condensing gas boilers can operate at efficiencies as low as 60%. This means up to 40% of the energy they consume is wasted instead of heating your home.

Modern A-rated condensing boilers are over 90% efficient, using less gas to provide the same heat.

Replacing an old G-rated boiler with a modern A-rated boiler and full heating controls could save you hundreds of pounds a year. Energy Saving Trust estimates savings of up to £420 annually for this type of upgrade.

Older boilers can also become less reliable as they age, with worn components increasing the risk of breakdowns and costly repairs.

Maintenance can get expensive, and parts can be hard to source. A nightmare scenario if your old boiler fails in the middle of winter.

Modern Boilers and central heating systems take up less space than older versions. So you not only save money, but you can also free up space.

New Boiler Benefits

  • A warmer home is more comfortable and cosy; you will feel the difference with a new boiler
  • A new boiler is more energy-efficient than an old boiler, and it’s attractive to house buyers if you plan to sell anytime soon.
  • Increased energy efficiency means cheaper gas bills
  • A lower carbon footprint is better for the environment

Our friendly, gas-safe registered engineers will advise you on all options. For a new energy-efficient boiler (and central heating system if required) that works with your home and budget.

Boiler Replacement in Chelmsford

Pipes and radiators last much longer than a boiler. Around 15-25 years, as long as proper fitting took place and it was well maintained. Serviced boilers will last for 10-15 years.

As such, Boilers need replacing before the rest of the central heating system.

We regularly replace boilers in Chelmsford. This can be a simple process. For example, switching to a combi boiler can take as little as a day. In other situations, where a new type of boiler is needed can take longer. For example, an old combi boiler may be removed and a new system boiler installed in its place.

New components are necessary for the central heating system. So the job will take longer. Whatever the job requirements. Our engineers will complete the job swiftly, with minimal disruption to your home and family.

The first step is for one of our Gas Safe registered engineers to visit your home. They will conduct a free, no-obligation survey of your boiler needs. At a time that suits you.

When moving into a new building or extending your home, A new boiler installation is required. The most important task is fitting the most suitable boiler for the situation.

Not all boilers are the same, as not all homes and buildings are the same. Installing the right boiler ensures the best possible heating and energy efficiency.

Our expert heating engineers will determine the best boiler for your new home or extension and, of course, your budget.

During the visit, the engineer will carefully assess your home for a new boiler installation or an existing Boiler replacement. You can let our engineer know your heating and hot water requirements and ask any questions you may have.

Our engineer will recommend ways to get the most from your new boiler.

New Boiler Installation Considerations

The first thing to consider when installing a new boiler is the boiler size. This depends on your hot water requirements and the number of radiators in your home.

Boilers come in different sizes and types. Boiler sizes can be confusing for the homeowner. One of our engineers will advise you on the best boiler type and size for your unique situation.

Boilers are available in three sizes: 24-27kw, 28- 32 kW, and 35-42kw. kW is the measure of power.

  • 24-27kw boilers are designed for a smaller home with 1-2 bedrooms, a single bathroom, and up to 10 radiators.
  • 28-32kw boilers are designed for an average-size 3-4 bedroom home with up to 15 radiators and 1-2 bathrooms.
  • 35-42kw boilers are designed for large homes. With many bathrooms and lots of radiators.

Boiler location is important. A simple replacement may be all you need if you already have a boiler installed. To save time, money, and disruption, you may want to leave it where it is.

Some Chelmsford homeowners want to move their boiler to free up space. Our engineers will advise you on all the options for a new boiler location.

what-type-of-boiler-to-choose

What Type Of Boiler To Choose

Once the right size of the boiler is determined for your home, the next step is to select the type of boiler you want. The type of boiler you choose will again depend on your hot water and heating requirements. Available space is also taken into consideration.

There are three types of boilers. Combi, System and Regular (also known as Heat-Only or traditional boilers)

Combi

Combi Boilers are a popular choice among Chelmsford households. They are compact and don’t need any loft space (unlike regular systems).

They use the least pipework and provide hot water on demand. Water is heated as it flows through the heating element inside the Boiler. Your hot water flows at the same pressure as the mains.

Combi boilers are a good choice for smaller homes. They now account for over 50% of all new boilers fitted every year. Combi Boilers don’t need a pump or water cylinder. Making them easy to install and service.

System

System Boilers are a better choice for large homes with multiple bathrooms. A storage cylinder ensures hot water is supplied to multiple taps if needed.

System boilers don’t need a feed and expansion tank, so you don’t lose loft space. A System Boiler delivers hot water to your radiators, while a pressurised cylinder stores hot water to serve your taps.

System Boilers are easy to install. They take up less space and are more efficient than Regular Boilers.

Regular

Regular boilers are commonly found in older homes around Chelmsford. They’re ideal for larger homes with two or more bathrooms, where multiple hot water taps are used simultaneously.

Regular boilers use a cold water storage tank (in the loft), an expansion tank (also in the loft) and a hot water cylinder to store the heated water. Regular Boilers and their components take up more space than a combi or system boiler.
