Boiler Installation and Repair Services in Armadale

Yes. Appliances fitted new on the volume estates are generally sound, but they go in to a tight programme, and pressure loss, sticking diverters and controls that were never properly commissioned show up once the house has been lived in. Check first whether the original installation is still covered by anyone, then call us.

Those rows are narrow, solid walled and shallow front to back, with a chimney stack shared between neighbours. Heat loss through the walls is high, the pipe runs are short, and the practical limit is usually where a flue can terminate without discharging over a neighbour's door or window.

Old coal and clay workings under parts of West Lothian mean some ground moves very slowly over a long period. It rarely troubles a boiler, but it can show as recurring small leaks at rigid pipework joints, which is worth mentioning if the same joint has failed on you twice.

Often it can. Moving it into a utility, a hall cupboard or a garage means new gas, water and condensate runs plus a new flue position, so it costs more than leaving it where it is. We price both so you can see the difference and decide with the figures in front of you.

Yes. Controls make more difference in a poorly insulated older property than most people expect, because the heating stops overshooting rooms that were already warm. The system gets set up properly and you get shown how it works, rather than being left with an app and no explanation.

Look at how many separate faults it has had, whether parts for that model are still easy to get, and whether the casing and heat exchanger show corrosion. Two unrelated failures inside one heating season usually means the next one is not far behind.

Yes, and if you are the landlord you need an annual gas safety check on every gas appliance and flue, with a copy of the record for the tenant. We carry out the check and issue the CP12 record.

It depends on the appliance chosen and how the diary already looks that week. Ring with your postcode and what you have now, and you will be given a real date rather than a hopeful one.

That is normally a balancing or circulation problem rather than the boiler. It can be a tired pump, a partly closed valve, sludge sitting in the downstairs return, or an air lock. It is diagnosable in one visit and is often cheap to put right.

Gas engineer work covers appliances other than boilers, so a fire, a hob or the supply pipework can be checked and tested. Say what the appliance is when you call so the right test equipment comes with us.
