Boiler upgrades planned around Hawick homes
Hawick is one of the larger Borders towns, with a mix of dense Victorian terraces around the town centre, post-war housing on the outer ring and rural properties up the Slitrig and Teviot. We see a wide spread of jobs here — from combi swaps and landlord work in the centre to oil servicing on outlying farms and cottages.
Older Victorian housing often has solid walls — we factor this into heat-pump heat-loss surveys honestly. For boiler installation, that changes the survey, specification or working sequence before price is agreed.
As Vaillant Advanced Installers we install gas, oil and LPG boilers across Hawick 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. This page is specifically for landlords who need to compare a surveyed replacement with clear warranty and system-upgrade advice.

Before you book: local practical answers
Do you cover Denholm, Bonchester Bridge and Newcastleton?+
Yes — these are all part of our regular TD9 round, including off-grid oil servicing and LPG work.
Are heat pumps realistic in older Hawick terraces?+
Sometimes, but solid-wall Victorian terraces need a careful heat-loss survey first. In a lot of cases we'll recommend a high-efficiency gas boiler as the better short-term fit, with insulation upgrades planned alongside.
What should be checked before quoting boiler installation at this Hawick property?+
Older Victorian housing often has solid walls — we factor this into heat-pump heat-loss surveys honestly. We confirm that point on site, then match the boiler installation specification to the actual building and access rather than assuming every TD9 address is alike.
Is this page aimed at landlords?+
Yes. The recommendations prioritise landlords who need to compare a surveyed replacement with clear warranty and system-upgrade advice. If the building or occupancy differs, the survey is where we adjust the plan.
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.
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.
