Can I Supply My Own Boiler & Radiators?

You could but in all honestly it wont effect the cost,  or may even be more expensive. This is as we have great relationships with Merchants & Manufacturers so we can get Boilers & Radiators at great prices. It also would mean that you wont benefit from the excellent Manufacturers Guarantees that we provide. We also register it to the Manufacturers for you... so its one less thing to worry about.

However if you are thinking about installing some specialist radiators such as Cast Iron Design Radiators - we advise you to supply them as they are such a personal preference and you can keep your warranty direct. Don't worry though, we will help you decide on what sizes and positions.

Ry do not provide any warranty on parts/products or materials even if we supply them through a merchant. This is as we do not manufacturer them and therefore cannot have the knowledge to offer the guarantee.

However we will ensure that we arrange with our merchant/supplier to provide  a refund on the product and or replacement should that product be deemed faulty within its warranty period. We will then pass this back on to you. Where an issue arises that is not as a result of our workmanship and is not brought to our attention within 7 Days of our installation we reserve the right to charge for the labour to reinstall any defected product - however this is reviewed on a case by case basis due to many scenarios. For full details review our T&C's page

Ry Group provide a 12 month workmanship warranty on any new installation and more information on our workmanship guarantee can be found here Or on our T&C's page here

With certain items such as boilers - where our accredited status unlocks a longer guarantee - we will register this for you on your behalf once we have received full payment for the works. Once it is registered - your warranty for parts and labour will be held with the manufacturer not Ry Group and all details relating to this will be received by you in an email of how to uphold the warranty and whats covered.

Ry Group will also register any required Gas or Electrical works to building compliance - you will also receive this certificate via email from them such as Gas Safe of NICEIC

With any major refurbishment works - unfortunately there will be dust and old appliances being removed which can lead to a little mess.  As standard Ry will always ensure that there are dust sheets laid down in the main pathway areas - these will be areas the engineers will need to walk through to remove rubbish/bring in products etc and the area we are working in where required. Our engineers should always try to ensure that the working area has a little clean up at the end of the working day - but dust does settle which we cant avoid. Sometimes they will also need areas to store items/products waiting to be installed. If you have specific requirements for more extreme protection such as you have brand new carpets - or your front door needs protecting - please notify us we will be happy to price to install plastic flooring and or corex covering throughout all pathways - and can even wrap any door areas. The cost of this depends on the size of the property and is an optional extra not standardly included. Or feel free to do it before we arrive, and we can advise on what to purchase.

The Answer is No... But as Central Heating Specialists it is our duty to inform you of your options and possible side effects of not getting them done. So I will run through below the 3 optional extras we always advise as best practice to get done when you fit a new boiler and why. These will always be itemised and separated on our quotations - so you can easily see what you may or may not want to go for.

Powerflushing

As standard most companies will include a chemical flush - when they fit a new boiler... be warned this is not a POWERFLUSH. A Powerflush is a bit like a colonic irrigation for your heating system. It uses a specialist machine and magnets along with inhibitor and cleanser chemicals. To remove sludge and debris for the water that travels through your heating system. A chemical flush is just the addition of chemicals into your system - which will not flush out the existing water or have as much of an effect. There are a few reasons we strongly advise to have a powerflush when you install a new boiler, which i have listed below and also feel free to see our powerflush page here

1. Dirty sludgy water - can get into your new boiler and lessen its life span considerably. The manufacturers of the boiler are also aware of this, so if you have an issue within your guarantee period and they determine its caused by poor water quality your boiler guarantee will be null in void.
2. You will receive a heavily discounted rate to carry out a powerflush alongside fitting a new boiler as we are already on site. For standard powerflushing prices you can view our prices page here

Magnetic System Filters 

A magnetic system filter works in harmony with a powerflush - you can view the powerflush as the cure and the magnetic heating filter as the preventative. It gets fitted before the water goes into the boiler and acts as a sieve to collect any future build up as time goes on. Having this fitted alone without the powerflush is not enough to remedy an existing damage and or enough to keep your warranty valid with manufacturers. It will however act on preserving your boilers life span as your system water gathers debris again.

Scale Reducers 

In the areas that Ry Group cover - scale is a big problem in our water systems. A scale reducer is a cheap way of preventing scale build up to your boiler, and protecting key and expensive boiler parts such as heat exchangers.

At Ry we like to be flexible to suit your lifestyle the long and short of it is

• Yes we can carry out a free on site quotation we always prefer this for more complex systems and larger works because the key to a smooth job - starts from the planning, understanding and quotation - doing the work is easy!
• Yes with the right details given online we can give you an estimate - but not a quotation. A video call can be the quickest and most convenient way for an estimate prior to maybe a site visit if we move forwards to clarify technical details and personal preferences with you. There are many companies that give prices online  without seeing the property at all. From our experience this can mean unexpected costs - such as re-running a gas pipe, or requiring a roofer not originally included.With them on site about to start works .. its also a huge amount of pressure to make decisions quickly which you may not be happy with later down the line. At Ry we always aim to carry out the most thorough specification we can so our customers can have the most amount of clarity possible in relation to costs, visual aesthetics and product options.

When carrying out a quotation on site we need you to be on site. This is for a few reasons.

1. The engineer will need to understand your expectations of the job and gather information on your future property plans. For example you may be planning an extension in 2 years time, in which case they need to consider the size of the output so this can be accommodated.
2. Certain questions need to be asked as they arise to provide an accurate quotation. For example they may say, if we put your radiator here your pipework would have to be on show, but if we put it here with no wooden flooring we can come up through the floorboards. Different options will have different costs associated and so those preferences need to be advised, so your cost is accurate.
3. Once the engineer leaves your property, of course you can make small amendments if requested. However if they become technical this makes the process longer for you, and the engineer may even need to return to confirm the details.

The answer is no - if you looking to stay with natural gas boilers - unless the government have made any updates.
