Boiler Replacement

If you’re having to call out an engineer more than once a month to 3 times a year. It’s worth considering whether the sum of the repairs is greater than the cost of a new boiler - most of the time it will be.

You can help keep your boiler healthy by getting it serviced annually, this will help keep it running smoothly - and if any repairs are necessary, they should only be minimum.

A boiler should only be replaced if it’s always on the blink and costing you too much.

You could be paying a lot more on gas bills with an older boiler as they’re far less environmentally friendly than a new A+ energy efficient boiler. Manufacturers are always looking at ways to improve boiler technology to become more energy efficienct – which helps the environment and you save money on energy bills. Win-win. 

If your current boiler has a low efficiency rating, it’s definitely time to think about replacing your boiler.

If your current boiler no longer meets the needs of your home. As an example, you may have just extended your property from a 2-bedroom home to a 4-bed, and you didn’t realise your little combi boiler couldn’t keep up with the amount of extra work.

So, rather than try to manage with a boiler that clearly isn’t fit for purpose, it’s much better to install a new boiler that’s perfect for you and your new home.

When selling or renting your home, an old or inefficient boiler is likely to be picked up on a survey by any prospective buyers. It’s much better to replace your boiler before you sell the house and cover installation costs within the house price.

The same applies to renting, as you are more likely to attract tenants with a reliable and up to date boiler and central heating system. Just remember no one wants an angry tenant complaining about cold showers and a broken boiler.

If you can smell an eggy odour when you use your boiler, it’s likely a gas leak. You must immediately turn off your boiler and call the emergency gas line on 0800 111 999. You should do this if you ever smell any unusual odours coming from your boiler.

If your boiler is leaking at all, there is likely an issue with an internal component and if the problem isn’t fixed, it will lead to further damage – which will cost a lot more money than just a simple boiler install.   

In both situations, we’d recommend turning your boiler off and have it professionally checked by a Gas Safe engineer. Hopefully, it’ll be possible for them to repair the boiler to a working condition without having to install a brand-new boiler.

Most of you probably won’t agree with us, but if you’ve been considering a boiler replacement for a while then you should definitely get it installed during the spring-summer time. Hear us out.
