Gas Boiler Replacement Cork 

The average cost of replacing a boiler cost around €2600. However, a boiler replacement in Cork cost depends on the type of model you’re looking to install. If you’re planning a like-for-like replacement, the overall cost will be cheaper than swapping your existing model out for a different system.

Replacing a gas boiler with a like-for-like system can take as little as 4 hours. However, if you’re thinking of changing the position of your boiler, turnaround time can be anywhere from 1-3 days. A pre-installation survey should identify any complexities that might cause issues. This way, you’ll get a clear idea of the scope of the boiler replacement and an estimated timeline.

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to gas boilers. However, some brands are better than others. If you’re looking for long-term value and reliability, go with tried and tested manufacturers like Worcester Bosh, Ideal, Baxi, Viessmann and Vaillant. In terms of specific models, the Worcester Bosch Greenstar 4000 is often considered the best in class for affordability and energy efficiency.

If your boiler pressure is too high, switch it off and allow the system to cool. Next, check the pressure gauge. If it’s reading above 2 bars, you’ll need to reduce the pressure. First, make sure the  filling loop is firmly closed. Next, bleed any radiators to ensure trapped air is removed from your heating system. In most cases, this should resolve any high pressure issues.

Provided you’re not using your central heating system or running any hot water taps, your boiler pressure should be around the 1 bar mark. However, if your central heating is on and you are using your hot water, your boiler pressure gauge should read between 1.2 and 1.5 bar

To ensure your boiler is operating efficiently, you’ll want to ensure it’s set no lower than 45°C. You can set your boiler as high as 70°C, but anything above this is likely to prevent your system from performing as efficiently as it can. You should aim to be setting your gas boiler from 60-65 degrees.
