Ask your QuestionI need to have a new boiler installed. I'd like to have a smart, hi-tech boiler fitted. Are there any specific requirements that my house would need to accommodate this type of installation?
Asked by Cheryl on 18th Aug 2020Best Answer
"All depends on the location of your gas meter and where you want to put the boiler. Also what type of system you have?
It can depend on many factors, all new boilers are A rated and condensing."
"Most if not all boilers are A rated. If you install a smart optimum start room thermostat it will take the boiler efficiency to A+ or A+++, as long as you have the correct filter and scale reducer for that specific boiler. You will also need to have TRV's on the radiators, expect for towel radiators or a radiator by the front door.
Hope this helps"
"Good Afternoon, I would recommend the Vaillant boiler with the V smart controls , as long as you have WiFi in your property and an android phone you can install this in your property and control your system anywhere in the world , we are Vaillant advanced installers

android phone you can have these installed
and control your system with ease. Hope that helps."
