Choosing the right boiler depends on your home, your heating and hot water usage, and how many people live there. During your home survey, one of our qualified engineers will assess your current system and listen to what you want from your new one.

We'll take into account factors like the size of your property, number of bathrooms, how many radiators you have, and whether you need hot water from multiple taps at once. We’ll then recommend the most efficient and suitable option, whether that’s a combi, system, or regular boiler and we'll explain everything clearly, with no pressure.

Yes, Somerset Gas installs both gas and oil-fired boilers across Somerset and surrounding counties. Whether you're on the mains gas grid or rely on oil in a more rural setting, we have the experience and certification to help.

Our engineers are fully qualified Gas Safe registered for gas boilers and OFTEC registered for oil installations. We’ll also talk you through any servicing and fuel storage considerations specific to oil heating, so you can make a fully informed decision.

We certainly can. If you’re moving into a property without central heating, or upgrading from an outdated system (like electric storage heaters or warm air), we can design and install a complete central heating system from scratch.

This includes everything from the boiler and radiators to new pipework, smart controls, and thermostatic valves, all tailored to your home and lifestyle. We’ll work around your schedule and ensure minimal disruption while getting the job done right.

Most straightforward boiler replacements (like-for-like combi swaps) can be completed in one working day. More complex jobs, such as converting from a regular boiler to a combi, or moving the boiler to a new location, may take two to three days.

During your initial survey, we’ll give you a clear idea of how long your specific installation will take, so you can plan accordingly.

Yes, but only for a short period. For single-day installations, heating and hot water will typically be off for the majority of the day while the new system is fitted and tested.

For multi-day jobs, we do our best to reconnect essential services overnight wherever possible, especially during colder months. Your engineer will talk through what to expect and how we’ll minimise any inconvenience during the install.

We ask that you're home for the initial survey so we can talk you through the options, show you where equipment may be placed, and answer any questions directly.

On installation day, you don’t need to be home for the full duration, but we do ask that someone (over the age of 18) is present at the beginning and end, so we can confirm access, explain the work being carried out, and walk you through the completed system before we leave.

Yes, once your installation is complete, Somerset Gas handles all the necessary registrations on your behalf. This includes registering the boiler with the manufacturer (e.g. Vaillant) for warranty activation, and notifying Building Control if applicable.

You'll receive all confirmation documents by email or post for your records. You won’t need to fill in any forms or chase anyone. We take care of it all.

Every boiler installation by Somerset Gas includes two levels of cover:

• A 12-month workmanship warranty, which guarantees the quality of the installation work, materials used, and the system’s performance.

• A 7-year manufacturer warranty on Vaillant boilers, which can often be extended to 10 years or more depending on the model and additional cover selected.

We also remain available for support and servicing after installation, so you're never left in the dark.
