New Town Estates
Post-war semis and terraces across the town often have heating systems that have been altered more than once. The boiler may be fairly modern while the pipework and radiators behind it are not.
Up to 18 years' warranty on ATAG boilers
12 years as standard, extendable to 18. Only approved installers can offer it, and we're one of the few in the North East who can.
Connected Gas & Heating fits new boilers across Peterlee and the East Durham villages from our base at Castle Eden, around ten minutes away. We are Gas Safe registered under number 186715, Baxi and ATAG approved, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Your Nearest Installer
Our office and stores are at Castle Eden, TS27 4SU, a few minutes down the road from Peterlee. That matters more than it sounds. Surveys get booked quickly, the van is never far away if something needs checking after the install, and you are not waiting on a firm travelling in from another county.
Connected Gas & Heating has been trading since 1999 and has looked after more than 3,000 customers across County Durham. We complete over 150 boiler installations a year. Neil, the owner, still attends jobs himself, so the person quoting the work is the person responsible for it.
Peterlee Housing
Peterlee was built as a new town from the late 1940s onward, so a lot of the housing shares a similar age and layout. That gives us a fair idea of what to expect before we arrive, but every quote still starts from the property in front of us.

Older Radiator Circuits
Fitting a new boiler onto a tired system without cleaning it first is how warranties get refused. We assess circulation and system condition before quoting and include a flush where it is needed.
Back Boiler Replacements
Some homes still have an old back boiler or a boiler in an awkward spot. Moving it usually means new pipework and a new flue route, which we price properly at survey rather than adding on later.
Combi Conversions
Swapping a tank and cylinder system for a combi frees up a cupboard, but it only works where mains pressure and flow will support it. We test that on the survey rather than assuming.
Soft Water Locally
Water across most of the area is soft, which is kind to boilers and means limescale is rarely the problem. Sludge and poor circulation in older systems usually are.
Landlords and Rentals
There is a fair amount of rented property in and around Peterlee. We handle installations for landlords and agents alongside the gas safety certificates that go with them.
Approved Boiler Brands
We are approved by both manufacturers, so the recommendation is based on what suits your house rather than the only brand we happen to be able to fit.
ATAG Approved Installer
ATAG boilers carry a 12-year warranty as standard, extendable to 18 years when the terms are met. Only approved firms can install them, and we deal with ATAG directly.
How the ATAG warranty works
Baxi Approved Installer
We have held Baxi Approved Installer status for more than 15 years, since the scheme began. Baxi boilers fitted by us come with a 5-year guarantee.
Our Baxi approved installer statusWhat It Costs
We do not publish a headline figure for a new boiler in Peterlee, because the honest answer depends on the house. What we do is survey it, explain the options and give you one price that does not move.
The quote covers the boiler, the flue, the controls, any work the existing system needs and removal of the old unit. If something turns up that changes the job, we tell you before we do it.
Flexible payment options are available, and a service plan can be arranged afterwards so the annual service that keeps the warranty valid never gets forgotten.

Around Peterlee
Peterlee sits in the middle of our patch. We work across the East Durham villages around it every week, and further out toward Wearside and Teesside.
Horden and Blackhall
Mining-era terraces where heating systems have often been changed piecemeal over the years. A full system assessment matters before a new boiler goes on.

Our own doorstep. Rural and village properties where longer pipe runs and heat loss need proper sizing rather than a like-for-like swap.

A replacement is not always the answer. If the boiler can be repaired economically we will tell you, rather than selling you a new one.
Boiler repairsCommon Questions
Yes. We are based at Castle Eden, around ten minutes from Peterlee, and we work across SR8 and the surrounding East Durham villages every week.
It depends on the boiler, the property, where the flue goes and what the existing system needs. We survey the house, explain what we would recommend and give you a fixed price before anything is booked.
A straightforward replacement is usually quicker than moving the boiler, converting the system or fitting a new cylinder. We explain the expected timescale after the survey.
Yes. Replacing a back boiler normally means new pipework and a new flue route, which we assess and price at the survey rather than adding on later.
