Professional Gas Boiler
Installation Service
Choosing the right gas boiler and having it properly installed is one of the most important decisions for your home’s heating system. At P&R Mechanical, we guide you through every step of the process, from selecting the ideal boiler for your property to professional installation and comprehensive aftercare.
Our Gas Safe registered engineers have extensive experience installing all types of gas boilers across Buckinghamshire homes. We take pride in our meticulous installation process, ensuring every component is correctly fitted, all connections are secure, and your system operates at peak efficiency from day one.
Before recommending any boiler, we conduct a thorough assessment of your property’s heating requirements, considering factors such as your home’s size, insulation levels, hot water demands, and available space. This consultative approach ensures you receive a heating system perfectly tailored to your specific needs.
Types of Gas Boilers We Install
Combination (Combi) Boilers
Combi boilers provide heating and hot water directly from the boiler without the need for separate water tanks or cylinders. These space-saving systems are ideal for smaller properties with limited storage space and moderate hot water demands.
Best suited for: Small to medium-sized homes with 1-2 bathrooms and limited storage space.
Key benefits: Compact design, no tanks required, hot water on demand, high efficiency.
System Boilers
System boilers heat your central heating system directly and produce hot water for a storage cylinder. They incorporate major heating components within the boiler itself, making installation neater and more efficient.
Best suited for: Medium to large homes with multiple bathrooms and higher hot water requirements.
Key benefits: Good water pressure, economical operation, compatibility with solar thermal systems.
Conventional (Regular) Boilers
Conventional boilers work with a cold water storage tank (usually in the loft) and a hot water cylinder. These traditional systems are ideal for older properties where replacing an existing conventional boiler is preferred.
Best suited for: Larger homes with existing traditional heating systems and multiple bathrooms.
Key benefits: Works well in areas with low water pressure, supports very high hot water demands, compatible with older radiator systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does a new gas boiler installation cost?
The cost of installing a new gas boiler varies depending on several factors, including the boiler type, brand, output rating, and complexity of the installation. At P&R Mechanical, our gas boiler installations typically range from £1,800 to £3,500 fully installed. This includes the boiler unit, all installation materials, labor, system testing, and Gas Safe registration. We provide detailed, transparent quotations with no hidden charges, and offer flexible payment options to help manage the investment.
Q: How long does a gas boiler installation take?
Most standard gas boiler replacements are completed within a single day by our experienced P&R Mechanical engineers. For more complex installations, such as system conversions or relocations, the process may take 1-2 days. During your initial consultation and home assessment, we’ll provide a clear timeframe for your specific installation. We always work efficiently to minimize disruption to your home while ensuring every aspect of the installation meets our high standards.
Q: Which gas boiler brand is best?
While there are many reputable manufacturers, we frequently recommend Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, and Ideal boilers for their proven reliability, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. At P&R Mechanical, we’re accredited installers for these leading brands, allowing us to offer extended warranties up to 10 years on selected models. The “best” boiler for your home depends on your specific requirements, and our engineers will help you compare options based on your heating needs, budget, and property characteristics.
Q: What size gas boiler do I need?
Determining the correct boiler size (output rating) is crucial for efficient heating. A boiler that’s too small won’t meet your heating demands, while an oversized unit wastes energy and money. At P&R Mechanical, we calculate the appropriate size based on factors including your property’s size, insulation levels, number of radiators, bathrooms, and hot water usage patterns. For typical Buckinghamshire homes, combi boilers ranging from 24-35kW are most common, but your specific requirements may vary. Our professional assessment ensures you get exactly the right size for your needs.
Q: Can you replace my old back boiler with a modern system?
Yes, we specialize in upgrading outdated heating systems, including back boilers, to modern, efficient alternatives. At P&R Mechanical, we have extensive experience converting back boiler systems to contemporary combi or system boilers. This conversion typically requires additional work to adapt existing pipework and may involve installing a new flue system. While this represents a more complex installation, the significant improvements in efficiency, performance, and reliability make it a worthwhile investment, often reducing heating bills by 20-30%.
Q: Do you offer warranties on gas boiler installations?
Yes, all our gas boiler installations come with manufacturers’ warranties ranging from 5-10 years, depending on the model selected. As accredited installers for leading brands, P&R Mechanical can offer extended warranty periods not available through non-accredited installers. Additionally, we provide a workmanship guarantee on all our installations, covering the quality of our installation work. To maintain warranty validity, we recommend annual servicing, which we can provide through our comprehensive boiler service plans.
