Replacing works out cheaper than repairing
Over time boilers will become more prone to breakdowns, as a result the repairs can be very costly, so a replacement boiler will help to save you money in the long run. If over-used and worn an older boiler could also become dangerous in terms of emissions such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide being emitted into your home.
Saving you money
A second incentive to install a boiler replacement could be the attraction of the savings to be made. Modern boilers are more reliable and efficient, with potential savings of up to £840* for an average family if you switch to a high efficiency condensing boiler with heating controls for example.
Helping the environment
The third reason is the benefits newer models will bring to the environment. Modern central heating boilers are much more efficient, with efficiency ratings of 90% and over in comparison to 50% in some older boilers. As well as offering a payback in terms of reduced energy bills this will be kinder to the environment.
For instance, by replacing an old boiler with a top rated condensing boiler and a full set of heating controls you can save up to 1,200kg of CO2 a year.
What’s right for you?
The type of boiler you need will depend on a number of factors, such as the size of your house and your hot water requirements. Options to consider are highly efficient condensing combi boilers, system boilers and regular boilers.
