Do I Need a New Boiler?
If the boiler you currently have is especially old, breaks down on a frequent basis or is totally busted, you’re probably best off having a new one installed.
Boilers generally last for 10-15 years. With that being said, they lose their efficiency levels with time due to wear and tear; this in turn would raise running costs.
You may be losing money because of an old non-condensing boiler that is inefficient. An old boiler would come with higher running costs and be less eco-friendly than a modern A-rated boiler.
Notably, boilers that have been going for a decade or more are classed as G-rated. This would mean that their energy efficiency is around 70%. In contrast, A-rated boilers would have efficiency levels of 90% or more.
If a boiler is beyond economical repair (BER) it is probably best to have it replaced. The older a boiler is, the more likely it generally is to break down.
Examples of a boiler being BER include:
The guarantee is discontinued meaning you need to pay for new parts/repairs.
Components like the PCB or heat exchanger require replacing or repairs.
