Find a local heating engineer
Heating work is safety-critical and legally regulated. Anyone working on your gas boiler must be Gas Safe registered, and you can check their registration number before they start.
What heating engineers do
Heating engineers install, service and repair boilers, radiators, cylinders, controls and central heating systems, and increasingly heat pumps and low-temperature systems.
Typical heating engineer jobs
- Boiler replacement and system upgrades
- Annual boiler servicing and landlord gas safety checks
- Radiator replacement, moving and balancing
- Power flushing and sludge removal
- Smart thermostats and heating controls
- Air source heat pump installation
When you might need one
- No heating or hot water, or the boiler is locking out
- Radiators cold at the bottom or noisy pipework
- Your boiler is over 12 years old and inefficient
What to include when you post the job
The more of this you give up front, the more accurate the quotes you get back.
- Give the boiler make, model and rough age
- Say how many radiators and bathrooms you have
- Mention whether it's a combi, system or back boiler
- Say if you're considering a heat pump or grant funding
Questions to ask a heating engineer
- What is your Gas Safe registration number?
- What warranty comes with the boiler and who registers it?
- Is a system flush or filter included?
- Will the existing radiators cope with the new system?

Heating engineers FAQs
How much does a new boiler cost?
A straightforward combi swap is typically £2,000–£3,200 fitted in 2026, while a full system conversion with new pipework and cylinder can reach £4,000–£6,000.
How often should a boiler be serviced?
Annually. Most manufacturer warranties are void without a documented yearly service, and landlords must have a gas safety check every 12 months.
Is a heat pump right for my home?
Heat pumps work best in reasonably insulated homes with space for larger radiators or underfloor heating. A proper heat loss survey should be done before quoting.
