  • What is the lifespan of a boiler?

    Boilers have an average lifespan of 10-15 years but can often start to lose efficiency after 8 years. If your boiler is approaching this age, it could be best to replace it before it breaks down and you’re left without heating and hot water.

    What is a Combi boiler?

    A combi boiler is a combination of a water heater and the central heating boiler system in a single unit. As soon as you turn on the hot water tap, it heats hot water on demand. This eliminates the need for a storage tank.

    How much does a new boiler cost?

    A new combi boiler installation can cost anywhere from £1,500, up to £3,500, depending on the type of boiler you’d like.

    Gas Safe

    DIYO are an FDG Group company and our Gas Safe number is 623344 we are registered at Old Coach House, 57 Blyth Street, Nottingham, NG3 5HP.

    Should I repair or replace my old boiler

    Replace. A repair can sometimes be as expensive as a brand new boiler. And you could easily have more problems with a repaired boiler further down the line.

    A boiler replacement is more efficient and more reliable

    Your new boiler will be covered by warranty too – so if it breaks, the manufacturer will repair it with no extra charge.

    Are DIYO Installers Gas Safe

    Yes. All of our installers are professional, experienced central heating engineers with Gas Safe certification.

    Having a Boiler installed is a messy job

    No, we have to make sure that all areas are covered so minimise any mess while the engineer is working and we will take away all the rubbish when we leave the job to leave your home free from any clutter.

    How do I prepare for my new boiler install

    Please make sure that all areas around the boiler and cylinder if you have one are clear, then just make sure water in the kettle and you have some biscuits in.

    What are Thermostatic Valves

    Also known as TRV’s these allow you to control each radiator individually, you can reduce heat in each room or turn off the system if required in that particular room.

    What is a Flue

    A flue is basically where all the fumes come out of your house, they can go through your wall horizontally or vertically. Either option we can complete the job no problem.

    What is a filter

    A Filter is a piece of equipment that has a magnet inside and collects and metal fragments and sludge form the system and stops it going inside your shiny new boiler. Also known as a magna filter.

    Will DIYO flush my radiators

    On every single installation we complete a system chemical flush to make sure the system is running clean, ready to receive the new boiler.
