Is your home warm enough for the cold months ahead? Don't wait until the temperatures dip further. Now is the perfect time to bring in a reliable boiler installation company in Fulham if you're considering upgrading your heating system. Look no further than our boiler service in London.

At WPJ Heating, we install and service boilers and provide a full range of plumbing solutions. With our local expertise, we understand the unique requirements of Fulham homes, including the necessary permits for new boiler installations.

It's important to know what to look for before you hire a Gas Safe registered plumber in Fulham, so you can feel confident about your choice. Here are the key things to check before leaving your boiler installation in professional hands.

Boiler age

Is your current boiler over 10 years old?

Older boilers are less efficient and more prone to breakdowns. Replacing them can cut energy bills and repair costs.

Household needs

Number of bathrooms, hot water usage, family size

Combi, system, or regular boilers suit different demands. A home survey ensures you choose the right type and size.

Fuel type

Gas, oil, or renewable heating?

Your choice affects running costs and emissions. Gas is common in Fulham, but low-carbon options are gaining ground.

Installer registration

Is your plumber Gas Safe registered?

Only Gas Safe engineers can legally install gas boilers in the UK. This ensures safety and compliance.

Approvals & paperwork

Will they handle Building Regulations sign-off?

A registered installer will submit the necessary paperwork (no extra admin for you).

Your current boiler's age

It may be time to think about replacing your boiler if it's more than 10 years old. Heating and hot water account for around 55% of a household's energy bills, according to the Energy Savings Trust. Over time, the boiler will be less efficient than when you first installed it. You can improve efficiency and lower your monthly costs with a new boiler installation in your Fulham home. It also means fewer boiler service calls in London and less worry about unexpected breakdowns.

Energy usage

The right boiler depends on your household's energy demands. There are three main types that we find in Fulham homes:

  • Combi boilers – They heat water on demand and don't require a storage tank, but they're best for smaller properties or flats with a single bathroom.
  • System boilers – Suited for larger homes with several bathrooms. They keep hot water in a cylinder, so your home has a steady supply.
  • Regular boilers – Best for homes with higher water usage and traditional radiator systems. They work with a separate cylinder and tank.

If you're unsure which type fits your needs, a Gas Safe registered plumber in Fulham can carry out a full survey of your home. During this visit, the engineer will ask questions about family size and water consumption to make sure the chosen boiler is the right size and capacity for your lifestyle.

Fuel type

Boilers run on a range of fuels, although many modern Fulham homes use natural gas. Oil may still be used in some households, while renewable options like coal or solar power may be preferred by other homeowners. As for your choice, it ultimately depends on whether you prioritise affordability or sustainability.

That said, keep in mind that the average UK gas boiler emits more carbon dioxide annually than seven transatlantic flights. If you're worried about that, consider a sustainable fuel source for greener heating that helps reduce your home's carbon footprint.

Permits

You won't need to get approvals yourself if the installation is performed by someone registered under a competent person scheme. This means hiring an installer listed on the Gas Safe Register (required since April 2009) for a gas boiler installation in Fulham. Installing an oil or solid fuel system? Make sure that the plumber in Fulham is registered with the appropriate Competent Person Scheme.

Rest assured, every heating engineer and plumber in Fulham at WPJ Heating is Gas Safe registered and trained to the highest standards. They can even recommend the best boiler for your property to ensure that you're using a system that meets efficiency standards of at least 85% for both gas and oil systems.

Any new installation also requires Building Regulations approval, both for safety and energy efficiency. This is automatically covered when you work with a qualified and registered professional.
