New boiler installation in Houghton-le-Spring

Houghton le Spring is where AR Heating and Gas was founded, and the home of our business for over 16 years. The DH4 and DH5 areas have a real mix of housing, from ex mining terraces and 1960s and 70s council homes to modern private developments. Each comes with its own installation considerations, and knowing the local housing stock means we get the boiler choice and the pricing right first time.

Combi boiler swaps

A like for like combi replacement is the most common job we do across Houghton le Spring. Most swaps are completed in a single day, with the old boiler removed and cleared away and the system flushed before your new boiler is commissioned.

Back boiler and cylinder conversions

Many older Houghton properties still run a back boiler behind the fireplace or a heat only boiler with a hot water cylinder. Converting to a modern combi frees up space, improves hot water and cuts running costs. These take a little longer, usually one to two days, and we give you a fixed price after a free survey.

High efficiency upgrades

Replacing a boiler that is more than 12 years old with a new A rated model can save a typical home £200 to £400 a year on gas. We fit Worcester Bosch, Vaillant and Baxi, with warranties of up to 12 years when registered.

Finance from 12 to 120 months

We are FCA registered and offer flexible finance, including 0% interest on selected boilers, so you can spread the cost rather than pay it all up front. Your fixed price quote shows your finance options instantly.
