Real Installation Examples (From Local Jobs)
At Boiler Pro Solutions, we are Baxi approved installers, and have been for over 10 years. We mainly install Baxi boilers because:
- Case Study 1: Back-to-Combi Swap in Bolton
- Property: 3-bed mid-terrace
- Location: Bolton
The homeowner had an old gravity-fed system with a hot water cylinder taking up space and running inefficiently. We removed the old back boiler, installed a Baxi 830 Combi Boiler, flushed the system, and added a magnetic filter.
- Case Study 2: Compact Installation in Horwich Flat
- Property: 1-bedroom flat
- Location: Horwich
The customer needed a compact solution to fit inside a kitchen cupboard. We installed a Baxi Platinum Compact 25kW Combi Boiler alongside a Hive smart thermostat and a magnetic scale reducer.
Benefits Of Upgrading To An A-Rated Boiler
Upgrading to a modern A-rated boiler can make a noticeable difference to your home. Benefits include:
Up to 10 Years Guarantee
As a Baxi Accredited Installer, we can offer up to a 10 year guarantee on all new Baxi, giving you peace of mind.
Lower Energy Bills
Improved energy efficiency directly translates to reduced utility costs month after month.
Consistent Heating
More reliable heating and hot water delivery across all radiator systems in your home.
Modern Control
Quieter operation coupled with better overall control using smart heating systems.
If your current boiler is older or struggling to keep up, upgrading can improve both comfort and long-term running costs.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Choosing the cheapest quote without understanding what parts/materials are included.
- Installing the wrong sized boiler capacity for your specific hot water demands.
- Skipping system flushes or leaving off protective magnetic filters to trim upfront costs.
- Failing to compare credentials or using engineers without registered local Gas Safe accreditations.
Always prioritise a reliable, correctly sized boiler with a strong manufacturer-backed warranty over the lowest price. Get at least three quotes from a local Gas Safe engineers to compare correctly.
Repair or Replace? What is the Right Choice?
Not every boiler needs replacing. If your boiler is under 8–10 years old, generally reliable, and only showing minor faults, it may be far more cost-effective to repair it. Need a boiler repair?
Need a Boiler Service Instead?
If your current boiler is still under 8 to 10 years old and running well, you likely do not need a complete replacement. Regular preventative servicing is the absolute best way to extend your system’s lifetime, protect your manufacturer guarantee, and prevent ignition lockouts before winter begins.
