Do I Need a New Boiler?

If you’ve had your boiler for, say ten years or more, it breaks down frequently or it’s just absolutely busted, it’s likely time to have a new boiler installed.

Boilers generally last for 10-15 years before a replacement is needed. As boilers age, though, their efficiency rating declines, which will mean a higher running cost and therefore higher energy bills.

If you're losing money due to an old non-condensing boiler, you should consider replacing it with a modern A-rated alternative. This is because an A-rated boiler will offer lower running expenses and would be more eco-friendly.

Old boilers that have been going for a decade or more have energy efficiency ratings of about 70% (this is considered to be G-rated). However, modern A-rated boilers feature energy efficiency levels of 90% or more!

All in all, you could save money in the long run by having an A-rated boiler installed in place of your old G-rated appliance.

If your boiler is beyond economical repair (BER), it would probably be worth your money overall to have a new boiler installed. Older boilers may be BER since due to their age, their risk of breaking down is that much higher.

A boiler is generally beyond economical repair if:

• Your boiler breaks down often.
• Your guarantee has expired, and you are paying for repairs/new parts on a frequent basis.
• Components like the heat exchanger or PCB need repairing or replacing.
