50 YEARS SERVING DURHAM

Boiler Installation,
In Durham

As a local boiler installer covering Durham, we install gas, LPG and electric boilers across the city and surrounding County Durham villages.

Durham’s housing is genuinely mixed – period terraces and townhouses in and around the city centre, modern estates on the outskirts, and rural homes further out that are often off the mains gas network, where LPG is the practical choice.

Period properties in particular can need extra care around flue routing and existing pipework – we plan the installation around the property, not the other way round.

BOILER UPGRADES

Boilers We Install And Upgrades Availables

We primarily install Worcester Bosch boilers and are long-standing Worcester Accredited Installers, offering warranties of up to 12 years. We’re also accredited installers for Baxi and Viessmann. Alongside combi boilers, we install system, traditional (regular), electric and LPG boilers, as well as unvented cylinder systems where they’re better suited to the property. LPG makes up a larger share of our work around rural County Durham than in many of the other areas we cover.

BOILER TYPES

Which Boiler Is Right for Your Home?

The right boiler depends on your property, not just your budget. As a rough guide:

Combi Boiler

Period property or modern estate home already on mains gas – usually a straightforward combi replacement

LPG Boiler

Rural property off the mains gas network – an LPG boiler is often the best fit

System Boiler

Larger period home or higher hot water demand – a system boiler or unvented cylinder may suit better than a combi

Unsure?

Older or unusual setup, or not sure what you’ve currently got – free home survey and an honest recommendation, not a one-size-fits-all answer

QUIET, LOW MAINTENANCE, FEWER PARTS

LPG Boilers for
Rural County Durham

LPG is a particular specialism for us in Durham, and often the most practical option for rural properties that aren’t connected to the mains gas network – particularly around Teesdale and Weardale.

We regularly install and service LPG boilers and central heating systems in Barnard Castle, Middleton-in-Teesdale, Cotherstone, Stanhope, Wolsingham, Frosterley and St John’s Chapel, including conversions of existing boilers to run on LPG where suitable.

Running costs work differently to mains gas, as LPG costs more per litre, so we’ll talk through realistic figures for your specific property during a free quote.

DO YOU NEED A NEW BOILER?

Benefits Of A New Boiler

A modern A-rated condensing boiler can reduce energy use, running costs and emissions compared with an older, inefficient system.

We’ll give you a straight comparison of running costs for your specific property during a free quote, rather than a generic estimate.

Lower running costs, especially compared with an older, inefficient boiler
Far fewer breakdowns and call-outs than an ageing system
A full manufacturer's warranty for peace of mind
Compatible with smart heating controls, for better day-to-day efficiency
Lower carbon emissions than an old, inefficient boiler

AFFORDABLE SERVICING

Boiler Servicing
In Durham

Regular servicing keeps your boiler safe, efficient, and within its warranty terms. Our Gas Safe engineers carry out a full service every visit – visual inspection, flue and ventilation checks, system pressure, condensate trap and filter, and more, whether you’re on mains gas or LPG.

We service all makes and models of domestic boiler.

Why annual servicing matters:

Keeps your boiler running efficiently, which helps keep bills down
Checks safety components, reducing the risk of leaks or faults
Catches small issues before they become expensive breakdowns
Keeps your manufacturer's warranty valid - most require an annual service

CP12 GAS SAFETY

Landlord Gas Safety Certificates In Durham

If you’re a landlord, we also provide CP12 Gas Safety Certificates across Durham and the surrounding villages. During the inspection, we’ll check all gas appliances, pipework and flues, ensuring your property meets current gas safety regulations and providing the documentation you need to stay compliant.

FREE EXTENDED WARRANTIES UP TO 12 YEARS

Boiler Repairs
In Durham

We repair everything from routine faults on newer boilers to more involved problems with ageing heating systems. No heating, no hot water, low boiler pressure, diverter valve faults and unusual noises are among the most common problems we see.

We repair all boiler brands, including LPG boilers, not just the makes we install. Alpha is one example we repair and service but don’t fit as new.

HONEST RECOMMENDATIONS

Repair or Replace?

Not every fault means you need a new boiler. A single fault on a boiler under 8–10 years old is often worth repairing. If breakdowns are becoming frequent, the boiler is approaching the end of its expected life, or a major repair would cost a significant proportion of a replacement, we’ll talk you through both options.

“Will and his team were helpful and pleasant to deal with throughout the replacement of aging boiler. There was a lot to get through in a single day, but they arrived promptly with a strong team and got through the work quickly and efficiently, leaving everything tidy and clean behind them”

“Alex and Kyle fitted a new boiler moving it to the loft. Lovely guys, polite and friendly. The quality of work is exceptional. Despite it being in the loft where it will not be seen the pipes are really neat. Have a look at the photos. Never use anybody else.

“Just had a boiler installed by Housewarmers to replace the one they installed 18 years ago, and serviced annually by them.
Great service from a super friendly team. Fast and efficient installation, all rubbish removed and house left clean and tidy.
We have recommended Housewarmers to a few of our friends and they haven’t been disappointed with the level of service."

“I have had Housewarmers servicing my boiler for the last 19 years. We were looking at getting a new bathroom makeover and decided to ask Will at Housewarmers to give me a quote. We had the new bathroom installed in 2 days, this was for new wall panels, radiator, thermostatic shower, shower cubicle, and flooring.
Excellent job by Alex and Kyle.”
