FAQs
Why do I need a survey?
To enable us to ensure you are getting everything you need, and the chosen boiler suits your needs we need to check a couple of things, so there are no surprises on the day of installation. We can do this by either a home visit by one of our trained sales surveyors or we can provide a virtual video survey or via images supplied by yourself.
Are Clever Energy Boilers installers trained and Gas Safe registered?
Yes. All of our installers are professional, experienced central heating engineers with Gas Safe certification.
Will I get boiler cover from CEB?
All our Boilers come with a CEB warranty of up to 12yrs. You do not need to do anything to activate your guarantee – we will register your boiler as part of our installation service.
Your boiler will need an annual service from CEB to validate your warranty and for covering your wider heating system, you can take out one of our Clever Care plans,( link to the care packages on website ) which are available after you purchase your boiler.
Will boiler installation make a mess?
No. Our engineers will make sure that surfaces are protected and the area they're working on is always clean and tidy.
Do I need to do anything before my boiler installer arrives?
Yes, Before your installer arrives, clear away any clutter around the boiler – especially valuables and things that break easily – and make sure the boiler is easy to access.
Will CEB do a PowerFlush?
No. After years of experience, we've found that using a Powerflush machine on an older system simply causes more problems.
What's included?
- A new Programable thermostat
- Disconnect and remove boiler, cylinder and/or tanks where applicable
- Amend existing pipework to suit new boiler
- Flush system in accordance with manufacturer’s instruction
- Commission boiler and complete benchmark documentation
- Commission electrical work as required
- Complete sign off documentation
- Magnetic Filter and Chemical Inhibitor
- New flue and any brickwork required
