Frequently asked questions

+Can I install a surplus boiler myself?

No — commissioning must be by a Gas Safe engineer for gas boilers or MCS installer for heat pumps.

+Does the manufacturer warranty transfer?

Usually yes on first ownership. Confirm with the brand before purchase — Vaillant and Worcester both allow it with proof of purchase.
