If you’ve got a bigger household or a home with multiple bathrooms, a system boiler might be exactly what you need for reliable heating and hot water. I’m Darren, owner of Young’s Plumbing and Heating, and I’ve been helping Glasgow homeowners upgrade to modern, energy-efficient system boilers for over 15 years.
Just last month, we helped a family in Newton Mearns upgrade their outdated gravity-fed system. With three bathrooms and growing teenagers, they needed stronger hot water performance and better energy efficiency. We fitted a new system boiler with an unvented hot water cylinder, upgraded the controls, and completed the job in just two days. Now they enjoy fast, consistent hot water—even when two showers are running at once.
Whether you’re upgrading from a regular boiler or designing a setup for a larger home, we’ll guide you through the process and fit the right system boiler for your needs—safely, cleanly, and with no hidden surprises.
Every system boiler installation in Glasgow includes full-service support from consultation to sign-off:
- Free home survey and fixed-price quote
- Safe disconnection and removal of the old boiler
- Installation of your new A-rated system boiler
- Connection to a compatible unvented hot water cylinder
- Upgrades to pipework, controls or flue (if needed)
- Full commissioning and testing
- Manufacturer warranty registration
- Clean finish and walkthrough of your new system
System boilers are ideal for homes with higher hot water demand or where space for a cold water tank is limited.
A system boiler is a type of boiler that heats your central heating system and stores hot water in a separate cylinder—without needing a cold water storage tank in the loft.
Why choose a system boiler?
- Great for homes with multiple bathrooms
- Strong water pressure (when paired with unvented cylinders)
- Faster hot water recovery than traditional boilers
- Compatible with solar thermal and smart controls
- Cleaner installation—less pipework in loft spaces
They’re a smart choice for larger Glasgow properties like detached homes in Bearsden, Clarkston, and Giffnock.
We fit a wide range of reliable and high-efficiency system boilers. Popular brands include:
- Ideal – Excellent warranty options and ease of use
- Baxi – Proven performance with strong aftercare
- Worcester Bosch – Premium efficiency and build quality
- Vaillant – Smart-ready with sleek controls
- Vokèra – Budget-conscious options for larger homes
We'll recommend the best make and model based on your hot water needs, space, and budget.
Glasgow properties vary massively—from tenement flats in Hyndland to modern townhouses in East Kilbride. We know how to adapt a system boiler installation to:
- Work with older pipework layouts
- Boost water pressure with unvented cylinders
- Avoid disruption to loft insulation or limited access
- Meet building regulations in conversions and renovations
We’ll make sure everything fits your home, functions properly, and keeps your heating consistent all year round.
