A good boiler installation is about more than replacing the appliance. It is about how the system is protected, how the controls are set up, how the boiler is commissioned, and how neatly and carefully the finished job is installed. Lombardi Heating focuses on the full standard of the installation, not just fitting a new boiler and leaving it at that.
We price our boiler installations fairly for the time, materials, and care needed to do the job properly. Our quotes are clear and detailed, so you can see what is included and make a proper comparison — not just compare the cheapest headline figure.
“I was particularly impressed by his knowledge of the science involved in optimising the system’s efficiency... He went the extra mile.”
Mike, St Leonard’s, Exeter
Our boiler installations are built around a higher standard of setup, protection and finish, not just replacing the appliance.
System protection
We pay close attention to system cleanliness and long-term boiler protection. That may include magnetic filtration, water treatment, air separators, system cleaning and the supporting work needed to protect the new boiler properly.
Controls and efficiency
A modern boiler should be set up to run well, not simply fitted and left on factory settings. Where appropriate, we look at controls, weather compensation and setup choices that support efficiency, comfort and long-term performance.
Commissioning and setup
Correct commissioning is a major part of a good boiler installation. We take care over setup, checks and adjustments so the boiler and system are running as they should, rather than simply switched on and left.
Pipework and finish
We also take care over the finished installation. Where needed, this may include condensate upgrades, improvements to visible pipework, removal of old materials and a cleaner, more considered final result.
Our approach is always the same: install the right boiler properly, with the right setup, protection and finish from the outset.

What is included in our boiler installations

Recent boiler installations in Exeter
We carry out boiler installations across Exeter and nearby areas including Alphington, Topsham, St Thomas, St Leonard’s, St James, Broadclyst and Pennsylvania. Each installation is planned around the property, the heating system and the standard needed for a proper long-term result.
Our boiler installation process
We keep the process clear and straightforward from first enquiry through to completed installation.
1. Site survey
We visit the property to assess the existing boiler, heating system, controls and layout.
2. Recommendation
We advise on the most suitable boiler and any supporting work needed for a proper installation.
3. Written quotation
You receive a clear written quote setting out the recommended work.
4. Installation date
Once accepted, we arrange a suitable date for the installation.
5. Installation and commissioning
The work is carried out carefully, with attention to setup, finish and overall installation quality.
6. Handover
We explain the controls, answer any questions and make sure you are clear on the completed installation.
7. Warranty, registration and aftercare
We explain the warranty, servicing requirements and any important aftercare points. We can offer 10-year warranties on most Vaillant installations, and 10-year warranties are also available on some Viessmann installations. We complete the Gas Safe boiler registration and provide the Building Regulations Compliance Certificate, so there is nothing left for you to do except enjoy a warm, comfortable home.
We often recommend Vaillant boilers because they offer strong reliability, good controls and long-term value when installed properly. As a Vaillant Advanced Installer, Lombardi Heating is well placed to advise when a Vaillant boiler is the right fit for the property and heating system.
We also install Viessmann boilers where they suit the home, system and budget. Like Vaillant, Viessmann boilers work well when the heating system is designed, protected and set up properly, with a focus on genuine high efficiency, lower running temperatures, good comfort and long-term performance. Both Vaillant and Viessmann also give us better options for efficient setup than many other boiler brands on the market.
The goal is not to push one boiler brand regardless of circumstances, but to recommend the right installation for the property. The quality of the survey, system protection, commissioning and setup matters just as much as the boiler brand itself.
Should I repair my boiler or replace it?
That depends on the age of the boiler, the type of fault, the cost of repair and the overall condition of the system. If a repair is still sensible, we can advise accordingly. If replacement is the better long-term option, we can recommend the right boiler and installation approach. If you need fault finding first, see our boiler repair in Exeter page.
Do you only install Vaillant boilers?
No. Vaillant is our main preferred boiler option because of its build quality, reliability, controls and long-term value, and we are a Vaillant Advanced Installer.
We may also recommend Viessmann boilers where they are a good fit for the property, heating system and budget. Like Vaillant, Viessmann boilers allow us to set the system up properly, with a focus on genuine high efficiency, lower running temperatures, good comfort and long-term performance.
The most important thing is choosing the right boiler for the home and installing it properly, with suitable system protection, commissioning and setup.
Do you visit before quoting for a boiler installation?
Yes. Boiler installations should be surveyed properly before quoting. We assess the property, the existing boiler, the heating system and what is needed for a good installation.
Do you use subcontractors for boiler installations?
No. The work is handled directly by Ben and Cholwe rather than being sold by one person and passed to an unknown installation crew.
What areas do you cover for boiler installation?
We cover Exeter and nearby areas including Alphington, Topsham, St Thomas, St Leonard’s, St James, Broadclyst, Pennsylvania and surrounding locations.
How long does a boiler installation take?
That depends on the type of installation and what supporting work is required. Straightforward replacements are quicker than jobs involving wider system upgrades or changes.
What affects the final installation cost?
Boiler choice, installation complexity, controls, system condition, supporting work and overall installation standard all affect the final quote.
