Do I Need a New Boiler?
If your existing boiler is very old, regularly breaks down or is just totally busted, it’s likely to get a new one installed.
Boilers last for around 10-15 years on average. Over time, they’ll lose their efficiency levels. As a result, the running cost of a boiler can go up as it ages.
Losing money because of an inefficient boiler?
In fact, if you’ve got an old non-condensing boiler, it may cost you more to run and be less environmentally friendly than a modern A-rated boiler.
Boilers with a lifespan of more than a decade are G-rated with an energy efficiency of about 70%.
In other words, for every £1 you spend on heating, 30p is simply wasted. However, modern boilers (such as the ones we install), offer efficiency levels of 90% or more.
What if my boiler is beyond economical repair (BER)?
A worse downside of older boilers is that they’re more likely to break down and for their guarantee to be discontinued.
For this reason, you may find yourself paying for repairs and new parts on a regular basis. At this point, it probably makes sense just to have a new boiler installed.
In general, if components like the PCB or heat exchanger need to be repaired or replaced on an old boiler, it will probably save you money overall to simply get a new boiler fitted.
Boiler Installation in Birmingham - Final Take…
So, what should take from all this boiler madness?
Ultimately prices in Birmingham aren’t too bad and fit close to the national average. Our take-home-top is to, of course, shop around and get a few quotes before making a decision.
It’s also worth checking out different installers’ online reviews and ratings on social media or/and their website, if applicable, of course.
It could also be worth asking around to see what recommendations your friends or family have.
The right research is the way to go to securing good value for money. Either way though, Birmingham prices are pretty decent.
Best of luck! You’ve got this.
