Boiler Replacement Bristol
Boiler replacement can be a daunting prospect as it’s not something that usually happens on a regular basis, therefore a lot of people are understandably confused about what kind of boiler or model they need. With the ability to browse online, the endless ocean of boiler models, sizes and types can be overwhelming.
If you are seeking boiler replacement in Bristol it’s important to remember that professional advice should always be sought in the first instance. The two most popular types of household boiler are the regular boiler and the combi boiler. Each of these boiler options serves a different need depending on your house size and hot water consumption requirements.
Combi Boilers
Combi boilers combine both the central heating and water heating functions together in a single package. Unlike regular boilers, they draw water from the mains system and heat it when whenever it’s needed. This means that there is no need for additional water storage cylinders which would have otherwise been stored in a loft or attic. Due to the amount of space this saves, combi boilers are usually the go-to option for smaller properties. As combi boilers only heat the water you use, they are often praised as being more economical. The limitations of a combi boiler come when there’s a simultaneous demand for hot water from multiple sources eg. someone having a shower upstairs at the same time as hot tap running downstairs. Combi boilers are great for providing on-demand hot water to one source at a time so it’s not an ideal option for a household with two bathrooms. If you are not sure whether or not a combi boiler is suitable for your home, Taps-on plumbing can bring to bear years of expertise and recommend the perfect boiler. For the best v in Bristol, think Taps-on plumbing!
Regular Boilers
Compared to a combi boiler, a regular boiler works in a more manual fashion in that it draws cold water from the mains and stores it into a storage tank. When the boiler is turned on, the cold water is drawn out and heated using gas fuel before being pumped into a separate hot water tank. The hot water is then pumped from this tank to wherever it is required eg. a hot tap or radiator. Owing to the fact that a large amount of water has been preheated (and is regularly topped up during usage) a regular boiler is perfectly suited for providing hot water to multiple sources at the same time. Regular boilers are usually found in large properties with multiple floors and more than one bathroom. One downside of regular boilers is the amount of space required for the boiler unit itself and both water tanks, this is why they do not make for a good choice in smaller properties and flats.
Whether regular or combi, Taps-on plumbing provide the highest professional standard of boiler replacement in Bristol and are ready to take your call. Get in touch on 07789992216 or fill out our book a boiler replacement now.

Boiler Installation Bristol – What To Look For In A Boiler Installer
If you find yourself in the situation where you need a boiler (be it due to planned replacement or sudden breakdown) your chosen installation service needs to be fast, straightforward and professional. A boiler is the rock of a functioning home so without one, essential things like heating, showers or baths are off-limits. The bottom line is for normal service to be resumed as soon as possible. At Taps-on plumbing we are one of the leading companies for boiler installation in Bristol. After many years of helping happy customers, we know what makes a difference and we’d like to share with you the things to look for when it comes to replacing a boiler.
Qualified Gas Safe Engineers
Replacing a boiler must be done correctly to the highest standard possible. If corners are cut and the fitting is even slightly incorrect, your home and the lives of your family could be put at serious risk. This is why the gas engineers who are carrying out the installation need to be correctly qualified and certified by a recognised national body. At Taps-on plumbing all of our engineers are qualified to the highest standard and are Gas Safe registered. This high standard has also earned us a verification from Checkatrade as a trusted supplier. In addition, we also have public liability insurance up to the sum of £2,000,000 in the unlikely event that an accident did happen.
A Timely Response
When you decide to replace a boiler, you shouldn’t be made to wait for days and days. Your installer needs to come and assess what type of boiler you need and then arrange for installation as soon as possible. You’ll be reassured to know that due to our extensive list of experienced engineers, we can respond to any request promptly and provide you with a solution quicker than most boiler installation services in Bristol, Bath and the Southwest.
No Hidden Costs Added In
Unfortunately, There are some repair companies that dishonestly embed many hidden costs when contracted to carry out a boiler replacement. We have heard of contractors charging for overtime, extra labour and even additional parts. Boiler replacement can be fairly costly so you should never be charged for extras. When we provide you with a quote for replacement and installation, you will not pay a penny over the number we issue. If you require a quote for boiler installation Bristol, give Taps-on plumbing a call on 0117 911 8053 or fill out a form on our website.
Quality Guidance And Advice
Depending on the size of your house and heating configuration, there are many boiler options available. Changing boilers is not something that happens that often so unsurprisingly enough, many homeowners need guidance on what kind of boiler would be best suited for them. If you live in a flat and need a compact solution, we can advise on a range of great Combi boilers. Conversely, if your property has multiple bathrooms and uses lots of hot water simultaneously, then we can advise on the best types of conventional boilers for the job.
