When Is The Right Time To Replace Your Boiler?

When the time comes to replace your boiler, there are many things to think about, including the cost, boiler type and energy efficiency. It can be a really difficult decision and to understand what the best boiler is for your home can be a daunting task.

When is the right time to replace your boiler?

There is no specific time that your boiler will last, but the average life of a boiler is between 10 and 15 years. This depends on many factors, such as the level of use, whether it has been maintained properly and the type of boiler. Instead of deciding based on the age of your boiler, instead, keep an eye on your energy bills and the warmth of your home. If you notice that your home is taking longer to warm up, or your hot water supply is unreliable, then it may be time to think about replacing your boiler.

Why should you replace your boiler?

A new boiler will make your home more comfortable and warmer, as well as saving money on energy bills. Replacing the boiler gives you an opportunity to upgrade more of your heating system – for example with new controls or Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRV’s).

How much does it cost to replace your boiler?

The prices of boilers vary greatly depending on type, output and brand. You need to factor in the cost of installation. Even though the cost of replacing the boiler may seem expensive, it can give significant savings on energy in the long run. A new heating system with smart controls could save you £300 a year or more.
