Do I Need a New Boiler?
If your current boiler is particularly old, breaks down on a regular basis or is completely busted, you should probably get a new one fitted.
On average, boilers tend to last between a decade and fifteen years. However, as the year's progress, they lose efficiency and therefore running costs naturally increase.
Are you losing money because of an inefficient boiler?
Should you have an old non-condensing boiler, you might be spending more to run it and using a less environmentally-friendly boiler than if you had a modern A-rated boiler.
Boilers that have been going for more than years are considered G-rated. This means they’ve energy efficiency levels of approximately 70%.
This means that for every £1 you spend, 30p goes down the drain. Thankfully though, modern boilers like the ones we offer, come with efficiency levels of 90% or greater.
What if my boiler is beyond economical repair (BER)?
Another issue with older boilers is that they have a higher likelihood of breaking down. Not only that but their guarantee may already be discontinued by now.
As a result, you could find yourself regularly paying for new parts and repairs. By this stage, you’re probably best just have a new boiler installed.
The same logic of getting a new boiler installed (to save money overall) would apply if you have an old boiler where components such as the PCB or heat exchanger are in need of repair or replacement.
