Earlston sits on the A68 between Kelso and Lauder, with a strong commuter contingent thanks to the Borders Railway at nearby Tweedbank. Newer estates off Mill Road and the older High Street stone properties make for a tidy mix of straightforward combi swaps and more involved system upgrades.
As Vaillant Advanced Installers we install gas, oil and LPG boilers across Earlston 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 Earlston 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 Earlston (TD4) installation runs efficiently from day one rather than short-cycling through the first winter.
Travel from our Kelso base: 20 minutes via the A68.

Yes — Earlston is a 20-minute run from our Kelso base via the A68, so emergency call-outs in TD4 are usually attended the same day.
Often yes — newer Earlston properties have insulation and outdoor space that suit heat pumps well. We model heat loss properly and tell you honestly if a high-efficiency boiler is the better short-term move.
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.
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.
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.
