Glow Worm Boilers
The range of glow worm boilers available at PlumbProud
In 1934, the Glow-worm Boiler and Fireplace Co Ltd started manufacturing boilers with its factory directly powered by the River Derwent. For years, the company was best known for its technologically advanced back boilers eventually coming late to the fast-growing combi boiler market in 1988 with its Hotwater Express.
Since then, the Glow Worm brand has synonymous with innovation. In the early 90s, it manufactured the first condensing boiler which broke through into people’s consciousnesses and it created the ultra-thin and eye-catching ‘Micron’ combi model – the smallest central heating system appliance ever seen in Britain.
In 2001, the company was taken over by Vaillant but it’s never stopped thinking big…and small. Its research and development team focuses on achieving much lower energy consumption and in making their boilers as small as feasibly possible, best characterised by the stunning BetaCom C model from 2008.
Glow worm boilers and the company itself are held in high esteem by their customers. Over 5,000 people have given the company a 4.7 out of 5 on Trustpilot. These sentiments are echoed by our customers who love the robustness of their boilers and how efficient and cheap to run they are.

New bathroom installation over two years ago. Had some some issues but all resolved.Warranty extended one year and a repair was made even after warranty expired.

I'm more than happy with the service received from PlumbProud. Right from the moment I enquired online about the cost of a new boiler, the service has been thorough. I received a call very soon after my enquiry and organised a next day visit. The representative was friendly and understood what i needed in terms of boiler size etc. He also talked me through the finance options available. Installation took a day and I was extremely impressed by the standard of work and professionalism of the two young men. They worked efficiently, politely and tidily to take out a monster of an old boiler and fit the new one in it's place. They took the boiler with them at my request leaving only the box for me to put with the recycling. The office staff are polite and friendly - working to get all the paperwork done and see to any modifications needed. Im very happy to recommend this company.

Frequently Asked Questions
Next to each boiler model on our site, you’ll see has a price displayed next to it whether it’s a Glow worm Energy system boiler or a Betacom4 combi boiler.
What does that price mean? It’s not a fixed price – it’s actually an indicative price there to give you an idea on how much it would cost our boiler engineers to come around and install it for you if there were no complicating factors on the fit like the relocation of the boiler site in your home, switching from one type of boiler to another, or replacing pipework.
95% of boiler replacement work we do is standard and the quotes our customers receive are normally within 5% either way of the price you see on the website. For the other 5% where installation is challenging, the final price is more.
That’s why we always come around to visit you beforehand. We want to get to know you and what it is that you want from your boiler. We then leave you with a quote showing the boiler we recommend and the fixed price we’d charge for its installation.
Since we began trading in 2013, we’ve installed thousands of boilers in customers’ homes. Every time we visit a customer, they tell us what they want from their central heating system and boiler.
Using that information, we then came up with an algorithm which considers dozens of different factors on a boiler and its manufacturer.
That algorithm then produces a score for each boiler. We like to think that our quality score shares with you how close a boiler is to matching 100% the expectations and wants of the 1,000s of customers we’ve served.
Glow worm boiler customers benefit from a 2 to 7 year guarantee as standard.
To qualify for free boiler repair during your warranty period, you’ll need to book a boiler service 15 months after installation and generally every 12 months thereafter.
If cutting your energy bills and reducing your carbon footprint is important to you, then Glow worm’s heating solutions are worth considering for your home.
Each Glow worm boiler we install performs very well on both ERP and SEDBUK tests.
All Glow worm boilers including combi boilers, heat only boilers, and system boilers are condensing boilers. Not only does this mean that they’re fully compliant with current UK legislation but it can mean a much lower annual heating bill for your home depending on the boiler you’re replacing.
Yes – please ask your engineer about our instalment options when they visit you to give you your quote.
