Question 2

Which boiler brands do you install in Somerset?

Accepted Answer

On Tap Plumbing and Gas installs all major boiler brands. We particularly recommend Vaillant and Worcester Bosch for their reliability, parts availability and manufacturer warranty packages. Both brands offer extended warranties of up to 10 years when installed by an approved installer.

Question 3

How long does a new boiler installation take?

Accepted Answer

A standard combi boiler swap in a typical Taunton home takes between four and eight hours for one engineer. The old boiler is removed, the new boiler installed and commissioned, and a full Gas Safe certificate is issued on the same day. More complex jobs involving system changes may take longer.

Question 4

What is the difference between a combi, system and regular boiler?

Accepted Answer

A combi boiler provides heating and hot water on demand with no separate cylinder, making it ideal for smaller Somerset homes. A system boiler heats a separate hot water cylinder and suits larger homes with multiple bathrooms. A regular (conventional) boiler uses both a cylinder and a cold water tank, common in older Somerset properties. On Tap can advise which is right for your home.

Question 5

Do I need to replace my radiators when I get a new boiler?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. On Tap Plumbing and Gas will assess your existing radiators as part of the new boiler survey. If your radiators are in good condition and properly sized, they can usually be retained. We will recommend replacement only if the existing radiators are undersized, damaged or not compatible with the new system.

Question 6

Will a new boiler really save me money on my gas bills?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Modern A-rated combi boilers achieve efficiencies of 90 percent or more, compared to 60 to 70 percent for boilers from the 1990s. Replacing an old boiler with a new Vaillant or Worcester Bosch unit typically reduces gas consumption by 20 to 30 percent, which represents significant annual savings for most Somerset households.

Question 7

Do you offer finance or payment plans for new boiler installations?

Accepted Answer

Finance options for new boiler installations in Somerset depend on the manufacturer and current promotions. On Tap Plumbing and Gas can discuss available options when providing your free quote. Some boiler manufacturers offer 0 percent interest finance deals for approved installations.

Question 8

What happens to my old boiler?

Accepted Answer

On Tap Plumbing and Gas removes and disposes of your old boiler as part of the installation service. We follow all relevant environmental regulations for the disposal of old boilers and refrigerants. You do not need to arrange separate disposal.

Question 9

Is a Gas Safe certificate included with the new boiler installation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every new boiler installation carried out by On Tap Plumbing and Gas includes a full Gas Safe certificate confirming that the installation meets current safety regulations. This certificate is required for insurance purposes and for property sales, and is issued on the day of installation.

Question 10

How do I claim the manufacturer warranty on my new boiler?

Accepted Answer

On Tap Plumbing and Gas registers your new boiler with the manufacturer at the time of installation. Extended warranty packages from Vaillant and Worcester Bosch are available when the boiler is installed by a registered engineer and serviced annually. We will guide you through the warranty registration process when we install your new boiler.
