New Conventional Boiler
Middlesbrough, Teesside, County Durham and North Yorkshire

Prices of boilers are dependent on many factors, from the type of boiler you need to the size of your home. Here at Matt Grange, our team can arrange a quote and survey to help determine the best price for your new conventional boiler installation. With a conventional boiler, consider whether or not you also want to replace your hot water cylinder and/or water tank.

If you're looking to get an idea of a new conventional boiler cost, we have a quick and easy online quote tool for our customers, try it here: Boiler Installation Quote. Or you can contact us to discuss any questions you may have.

If looked after properly, the average lifespan of a system boiler is around 10-15 years. Regular boiler servicing is advised as it can mean your boiler should last longer.

We'd recommend replacing your boiler when repairs get too expensive as this should then be more economical and save you money long-term.

Some other signs to look out for are:

• It's making noises. Gurgling, hissing, whistling and banging can be a sign something is wrong and might be a build-up of sludge.
• The flame isn't blue. Your boiler flame should be blue so if it is orange, yellow or white then the oil is not burning properly. This can also be a sign that there is dirt in the burner or that your boiler is producing carbon monoxide and you should contact a heating engineer.

When replacing your boiler, it might also be time to replace your hot water cylinder or upgrade its insulation. If you're not sure whether your conventional boiler and/or hot water cylinder could do with an upgrade, get in touch with us and our experienced engineers can talk through your options.

We recommend a conventional boiler is serviced at least once a year to ensure it is functioning safely and efficiently.

Servicing your boiler will help diagnose any faults that may appear throughout the year, possibly preventing problems or heading-off long-term issues to your boiler.

An annual service is also ideal to ensure any warranties or guarantees are still valid.

If you're not sure whether your boiler needs to be serviced, or if you'd like to arrange a boiler service get in touch with us and our experienced engineers can talk through your options.

Yes, you can switch your conventional boiler to a system or combi boiler.

However, conventional boilers are often used in properties with older radiator systems because they may not handle the higher water pressure of system or combi boilers. If this is the case, and you want to change your boiler system, you may need to also replace the central heating system (radiators and pipes)

Here are some other key points to consider:

Hot Water Needs:
If you have high hot water demands (e.g., multiple bathrooms and a large household), a system boiler may be more suitable.
For smaller households with lower hot water demands, a combi boiler is often ideal.

Space Requirements:
System Boilers: These still use a hot water cylinder but eliminate the need for a loft tank, saving space.
Combi Boilers: These provide hot water on demand without a cylinder or loft tank, freeing up even more space.

Installation:
Switching involves removing the cold water storage tank and hot water cylinder (for combi boilers) or just the cold water storage tank (for system boilers).
Plumbing and possibly electrical modifications are required.

Water Pressure:
Combi boilers deliver water at mains pressure, which is beneficial for powerful showers but may be too high for older plumbing systems.
System boilers also provide better water pressure compared to conventional boilers.

Efficiency and Costs:
Both system and combi boilers are typically more efficient than conventional boilers, potentially lowering your energy bills.
The initial installation cost can be higher, but long-term savings and efficiency gains may offset this.

A hot water cylinder is a storage tank specifically designed to hold hot water for domestic use. It works in conjunction with conventional or system boilers, which heat water and then store it in the cylinder until needed. This setup ensures a ready supply of hot water for multiple taps and showers simultaneously.

The cylinder is typically well-insulated to maintain the water temperature, improving energy efficiency. Unlike combi boilers, which heat water on demand, conventional boilers with hot water cylinders can provide hot water at higher pressure and in greater volumes, making them ideal for larger households.

A hot water cylinder is typically installed in an airing cupboard, a utility room, or a dedicated cupboard within the home. The exact location depends on the layout of the house and the plumbing system. Ideally, it should be placed centrally to minimize heat loss and ensure efficient distribution of hot water to various taps and showers. If space allows, placing it close to the boiler can reduce the amount of pipework needed, further enhancing efficiency.
