Gas boiler replacement: what the job involves

Removing an old gas boiler and installing and commissioning a new condensing boiler, with its flue, condensate drain and controls, by a Registered Gas Installer. It is also the moment to decide whether a heat pump is the better replacement.

How long it takes: A like-for-like swap usually takes one to two days; converting from a regular boiler to a combi or moving the boiler can take three or more.

What affects the price

  • Like-for-like swap, or a change of type or location
  • Flue route and whether a new hole or a plume kit is needed
  • Gas pipe size between meter and boiler
  • Removing old tanks and the cylinder, and capping pipework
  • Boiler make, output and warranty length
  • VAT: work on a home is charged at the reduced 13.5% rate by a VAT-registered business, unless materials exceed two-thirds of the price; ask whether the quote includes it
  • VAT: building work on a home is charged at the reduced rate of 13.5% by a VAT-registered business — unless the materials come to more than two-thirds of the price, when Revenue’s two-thirds rule applies the goods rate to the whole job. Ask whether a quote includes VAT.

County Tipperary: what the figures say

  • 60.1% of homes in County Tipperary are heated by oil — above the national figure of 38.9%, the 9th highest of the 26 counties.

    Where an oil boiler is replaced by a heat pump, SEAI’s heat pump grant includes €2,000 for removing it; until then, an oil boiler needs its annual service like any other.

Rules and grants for gas boiler replacement

The rules in Ireland

Only a Registered Gas Installer (RGI) may install, replace, repair or service a gas appliance or gas pipework, and they must leave you a Declaration of Conformance.

  • The rule comes from the Energy (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2006 and is run for the Commission for Regulation of Utilities by Safe Energy Ireland.
  • For every gas job the RGI must complete a Declaration of Conformance certificate and give you the original copy straight away; it confirms the work meets I.S. 813.
  • Every RGI carries a photo ID card numbered R followed by four digits, renewed each year. Check it on the register at rgi.ie.
  • Oil boilers are not covered by a statutory register; ask for experience with your make of boiler and a combustion analysis printout after a service.

What to ask before you choose

  • For gas: may I see your RGI card, and will you leave a Declaration of Conformance?
  • What exactly does the service include — combustion analysis, nozzle, filters?
  • Is the part in stock, and what is the warranty on it?
  • For a heat pump: are you on SEAI’s contractor register, and who does the technical assessment?
  • Is VAT included?

What the work usually involves

  • Annual oil and gas boiler services
  • Power flushing a sludged heating system
  • New radiators, valves and thermostatic controls
  • Diagnosing a boiler that will not fire

What to put in your task

  • The fuel: oil, natural gas or LPG
  • The make and rough age of the boiler, from its label
  • What is happening — no heat, no hot water, noise, a leak
  • When the boiler was last serviced, if you know
