Post a task for boiler installation near you, then wait for a reliable Tasker to arrive at your door ready to do the following:

Inspecting your boiler

When you hire a Tasker, you’ll need them to inspect your existing boiler setup, pipe system, and your new boiler. Taskers do this so they can plan the installation properly and check if there’s going to be any additional pipe alteration work. Additional work may be required if you’re replacing your existing boiler with a different type or model.

Removing your old boiler

Taskers start by turning off the gas and water and disconnecting anything connected to your boiler for safety. Once that’s done, Taskers will start unmounting your old boiler one screw at a time while ensuring there’s no damage to any existing pipework and any other salvageable equipment. 

Altering the pipework

If you used to own an ancient boiler, your pipes likely need to be altered to be compatible with your new boiler. Don’t fret, as Taskers should be fully equipped to handle any pipe alteration work. Be sure to discuss this beforehand since it may require additional costs or materials. Also, since you’ll be altering some pipes, it may overlap with your gas lines and change pipes that lead to your kitchen. Consider taking the time to have your gas appliances checked too. You may not know it, but your gas oven may need repairs, or you need to install a new one. 

Installing your new boiler

Your Tasker will mount your new boiler once your old boiler is removed and your pipework has been altered. In most cases, a new boiler is installed in the same spot as your old boiler. But this may still depend on your new boiler and any new adjustments you’ve made to accommodate it. Your Tasker will ensure it’s properly connected to your pumps, pipes, radiator system, water or gas supply, and other essential outlets. Depending on your boiler type, your Tasker will also connect it to your water tank for your hot water supply.  

Setting up the controls

The hard part is out of the way, and all that’s left for your Tasker is to set up your thermostat and controls. This beats having to go to the boiler room to adjust settings manually. Some Taskers can do it themselves, or you can also get help from an electrician for any rewiring, especially for electric boiler installation. 

Testing out your newly installed boiler

Once all the work is done, your Tasker needs to test out your new boiler and make sure everything works properly. They do all the necessary tests to ensure the job is done right and make necessary corrections for any issues they find.  

This entire process will be the same for both residential and commercial boiler installations. However, you may expect the job to be more extensive for commercial installation, depending on your property. If you’re a property manager, you may want to maximize the opportunity and also avail of other services such as hiring commercial window cleaners and booking janitorial services to maintain your business’ cleanliness and safety.
