About Us: Your Local Heating Installation Specialists in Luton
Installing a heating system properly takes more than a spanner and a set of instructions. It takes knowing how Luton’s housing stock actually behaves—the pre-war terraces around Bury Park with their older pipework, the post-war semis in Stopsley, and the newer flats near the town center. Each one needs a slightly different approach, and that’s the kind of knowledge you only build by working in an area for years.
We install heating systems the way we’d want one installed in our own homes: correctly sized, properly balanced, cleanly fitted, and fully explained before we start.
Why Customers Choose Us for Installations:
- Gas Safe registered engineers on every installation
- Honest system sizing, we won’t oversell you a bigger boiler than you need
- Fixed quotes agreed before work starts, no mid-job price changes
- Full system commissioning and a handover walkthrough when we’re done
- 12-month workmanship guarantee on every installation
A new heating system should last you 12 to 15 years. It’s worth having it fitted by someone who’ll still be around if you ever need them.
Boiler Installation Luton & Complete Heating System Upgrades
Most people only think about their boiler when it stops working. But an older system quietly costs you money every single month, and an inefficient boiler running at 70% efficiency means roughly 30p in every pound you spend on gas is going straight out of the flue.
A modern condensing boiler runs at over 90% efficiency. On a typical Luton three-bedroom home, upgrading from an old non-condensing system can meaningfully cut your annual heating bill, and you get a system that actually heats the house evenly instead of leaving the back bedroom cold.
Our heating installation services in Luton include:
- New boiler installations (combi, system and regular boilers)
- Boiler replacements and like-for-like swaps
- Full central heating system installations

Choosing the Right Heating System for Your Luton Home
Not every home needs the same system, and the right choice depends on more than just budget:
Combi boilers
suit smaller homes and flats with one bathroom. They heat water on demand, so there’s no cylinder taking up space in an airing cupboard but they can struggle if two showers run at once.
System boilers
Regular (conventional) boilers
are usually the sensible choice for older Luton properties that already have a cylinder and a cold water tank in the loft, where a full conversion would mean tearing out a lot of existing pipework unnecessarily.
Underfloor heating
works beautifully with modern well-insulated extensions and new builds, running at lower temperatures and giving a much more even heat than radiators.
Combi boilers
suit smaller homes and flats with one bathroom. They heat water on demand, so there’s no cylinder taking up space in an airing cupboard, but they can struggle if two showers run at once.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a boiler installation take?
The cost depends on the type of boiler, the size of your property, and whether any pipework needs altering. A straightforward like-for-like combi swap costs considerably less than converting a conventional system to a combi. We provide a free survey and a fixed written quote before any work starts, so you’ll know the exact price upfront with no hidden extras.
How long does a boiler installation take?
A like-for-like boiler replacement is usually completed in a single day. A full system conversion or a brand-new central heating installation typically takes two to three days, depending on the property size and the number of radiators involved. We’ll confirm the expected timescale in your quote.
Do you install the boiler and the radiators, or just the boiler?
Both. We install complete heating systems including radiators, pipework, controls and thermostats — not just the boiler. If your existing radiators are in good condition, we’ll tell you honestly rather than replacing things that don’t need replacing.
Will a new heating system reduce my energy bills?
In most cases, yes. Older non-condensing boilers typically run at around 70% efficiency, while a modern condensing boiler operates at over 90%. Combined with smart controls and properly balanced radiators, an upgrade usually leads to a noticeable reduction in gas consumption.
Do you offer a guarantee on heating system installations?
Yes. Every installation comes with a 12-month workmanship guarantee from us, in addition to the manufacturer’s warranty on the boiler itself, which we register on your behalf.6
