Boiler Installation in Duns

Duns is the natural service town for Berwickshire — a working market town surrounded by big agricultural country. The mix of Victorian stone houses around the Square, post-war estates off Castle Street and a wide rural patch reaching toward Polwarth and Greenlaw makes for a healthy spread of gas, oil and LPG work.

As Vaillant Advanced Installers we install gas, oil and LPG boilers across Duns with manufacturer-backed warranties of up to 12 years. A like-for-like swap is usually a single-day job; a full system upgrade — new flue route, magnetic filter, smart controls, system flush and a fresh expansion vessel — typically runs to two or three days on site. We always quote in writing after a proper survey, never over the phone, and we never use commission-based salespeople in your home.

In Duns we see a real mix of system types — older open-vent setups in the period stock, system boilers in mid-century housing and combis in newer builds. We size every replacement against actual hot-water demand and real radiator output, not a ballpark figure, so the new Duns (TD11) installation runs efficiently from day one rather than short-cycling through the first winter.

Travel from our Kelso base: 30 minutes via the A6105.

Local considerations in Duns

  • Most rural addresses around Duns are off the gas grid — oil and LPG dominate the work pattern.
  • Berwickshire farmland means a steady stream of farmhouse and steading installs with their own quirks (long pipe runs, multiple zones).
  • Town-centre Victorian properties often need careful flue siting against listed neighbours.
  • Cold-snap exposure across the Merse — radiator sizing and frost-protection routing matter.

What we'll do for you

  • Free survey and a fixed written quote — no high-pressure sales, no commission visits.
  • Up to 12-year Vaillant warranty registration handled for you on the day.
  • Magnetic system filter and full power-flush included on system upgrades.
  • Old boiler, flue and any redundant pipework removed and disposed of responsibly.
  • Smart heating controls (Vaillant vSMART or equivalent) fitted as standard.
  • Building Notice and gas safety paperwork lodged with Gas Safe and your local authority.

Yes — Polwarth, Greenlaw, Gavinton, Allanton and the wider TD11 patch are part of our normal Duns round, with most farm and steading work booked in within the week.

Can you handle multi-zone systems in larger Duns properties?+

Yes — we design and zone larger heating systems properly, including zoned weather compensation and underfloor heating where it makes sense.

How much does a new boiler typically cost?+

Most domestic installations fall between £2,200 and £4,500 depending on make, model, controls and any system upgrades. We give you a fixed written price after a free site visit — no surprises on the day.

What warranty will I get?+

Up to 12 years on Vaillant boilers as Advanced Installers; 7–10 years typical on Worcester Bosch, Ideal and Baxi. We register the warranty for you on the day of commissioning.

How disruptive is a boiler swap?+

A like-for-like combi swap usually means one day with the heating off. A full system upgrade or a back-boiler-to-combi conversion runs two to three days. We'll always tell you up front what to expect.
