New Combi Boilers
A combi boiler provides heating and hot water from one compact unit, with no separate hot water cylinder usually required. They are a popular choice for smaller to medium-sized homes in Sunderland, particularly where space is limited. We can advise whether a combi boiler is suitable for your property, household size and hot water demand.
Conventional Boilers
Conventional boilers, sometimes known as regular boilers, work alongside a hot water cylinder and feed tanks. They can be a practical option for larger homes with higher hot water usage or existing traditional heating systems. Our experienced boiler engineers can assess your current set-up and recommend the most suitable boiler replacement.
System Boilers
A system boiler works with a hot water cylinder but has many components built into the boiler itself. This can make installation simpler while providing a strong supply of hot water to several taps or showers. A system boiler may be ideal for busy Sunderland households with more than one bathroom.

Boiler Servicing
from £75 + VAT
Keeping your boiler serviced annually is one of the best ways to support safe, efficient and reliable heating. Our boiler servicing in Sunderland starts from £75 + VAT and is available for homeowners, landlords and domestic properties.
During a service, we inspect the boiler's key components, check that it is operating safely, look for signs of wear or faults, and help identify issues before they become more costly repairs. Regular servicing can also help you meet the terms of many manufacturer warranties.
If your boiler is making unusual noises, losing pressure, failing to heat your home properly or showing an error code, we can also provide professional boiler repairs. We will assess the fault, explain the work needed and provide honest advice on whether a repair or boiler replacement is the better long-term option.
FAQs
Have More Questions about our Boiler installations in Sunderland
How much does a new boiler installation cost in Sunderland?
The cost of a new boiler installation depends on the boiler type, output, brand, location and any upgrades needed to your heating system. AB Heating Services provides free home assessments and no-obligation boiler quotes tailored to your property.
How often should a boiler be serviced?
Most manufacturers recommend an annual boiler service to help keep your boiler safe, efficient and reliable. Annual servicing may also be required to maintain the terms of your manufacturer warranty.
How long does a boiler installation take?
A straightforward boiler replacement can often be completed in a day. Installations involving a boiler relocation, system conversion or significant pipework upgrades may take longer. We will explain the expected timescale before work begins.
What is included in a boiler service?
A boiler service includes safety checks, inspection of key components, checks for wear or faults and tests to confirm the boiler is operating correctly. Boiler servicing from AB Heating Services starts from £75 + VAT.
How do I know if my boiler needs replacing?
Common signs include frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, unreliable heating or hot water, unusual noises, recurring error codes and expensive repair requirements. We can assess your boiler and advise whether repair or replacement is the better option.
Why has my boiler stopped working?
A boiler may stop working because of low system pressure, thermostat issues, frozen condensate pipes, ignition faults, electrical problems or worn components. A qualified Gas Safe engineer can diagnose the fault safely and explain the repair needed.
Can my boiler be repaired, or does it need replacing?
Many boiler faults can be repaired, particularly where the boiler is relatively modern and replacement parts are available. If your boiler is old, inefficient or repeatedly failing, a new boiler installation may offer better long-term value.
How much does a boiler repair cost?
Boiler repair costs vary depending on the fault, parts required and time needed to complete the repair. Following an assessment, AB Heating Services will explain the issue and provide clear advice on the most cost-effective solution.
How long should a boiler last?
A well-maintained boiler can commonly last around 10 to 15 years, although this depends on the model, usage, water quality and servicing history. Annual boiler servicing can help support a longer working life.
Do I need a Gas Safe registered engineer to install a boiler?
Yes. Gas boiler installation must be completed by a Gas Safe registered engineer. AB Heating Services uses Gas Safe registered engineers to ensure new boiler installations are carried out safely and in line with current regulations.
What are the signs my boiler needs servicing?
Signs your boiler may need attention include unusual noises, inconsistent heating, low pressure, leaks, higher energy use, error codes, poor hot water performance or a yellow rather than blue flame. An annual service is recommended even if no faults are visible.
How quickly can you repair a broken boiler?
Repair times depend on the nature of the fault, engineer availability and whether replacement parts are required. Contact AB Heating Services with your boiler make, model and fault code where possible, and we will discuss the next available appointment.
What is the best type of boiler for my home?
The best boiler depends on your home size, number of bathrooms, hot water demand and existing heating system. Combi boilers suit many smaller homes, while system or conventional boilers can be better for larger households with greater hot water needs.
Is an annual boiler service a legal requirement?
For homeowners, an annual boiler service is strongly recommended but is not generally a legal requirement. Landlords must arrange an annual gas safety check for rented properties, and regular servicing may be needed to keep a boiler warranty valid.
Can you install a new boiler in a different location?
Yes, it may be possible to relocate a boiler, subject to a survey of the property, pipework, flue route, drainage and ventilation requirements. Relocating a boiler can involve additional work and cost, which will be included in your quote.
Why is my boiler losing pressure?
Low boiler pressure can be caused by a leak, a faulty pressure relief valve, bleeding radiators or an issue with the expansion vessel. Repressurising may provide a temporary solution, but recurring pressure loss should be checked by an engineer.
How can I improve my boiler's efficiency?
Annual servicing, using effective heating controls, fitting a system filter, keeping radiator pressure correct and addressing faults promptly can all help efficiency. A modern A-rated boiler may also reduce energy use when replacing an old, inefficient unit.
