Heating & Boiler Installations

At Rota Gas we understand that choosing a new boiler can be daunting. You may be wondering how to upgrade or modernise your heating system. A boiler is totally dependent on the type of heating system installation that it connects to. Therefore, a boiler upgrade may require an upgrade to your heating pipework. Factors such as water flow rate, pressure, water demand, space, number of radiators, all determine the type and size of system that best suits you.

What types of boiler are there?

There are 3 types of boiler.
1. Heater Boiler - Header tanks in loft and vented heating and hot water stored in a vented cylinder.
2. System Boiler - No header tanks. Unvented heating system. Hot water stored in an unvented cylinder.
3. Combi Boiler - No header tanks or hot water cylinder. Unvented heating system and instantaneous hot water direct from boiler.

Additional Installation Considerations

Manufacturers Warranty

When a new boiler is installed onto an existing pipework installation, it may be necessary to powerflush the existing radiators and pipework before the new boiler is installed to remove any sludge from the system, which could otherwise clog up the new boiler. It is becoming more widespread amongst boiler manufacturers that system powerflushing a heating system must be carried out prior to the installation of their boilers in order to satisfy warranty. A new boiler can be damaged from a blockage of sludge.

Gas Pipework

A boiler upgrade may be a change from a conventional heated boiler to a combi condensing boiler which would naturally require more volume of gas. Therefore, the existing gas pipe installation may need upgrading to accomodate the new boiler.
