    How long does it take to Commission a new boiler

    The boiler is installed, it just needs commissioning, I suppose when there are no faults because if there are then it is the same as asking how long is a piece of string? The boiler is an Ideal Logic Max c35Kw, if that makes any difference. Cheers
