Our comprehensive range of services covers boiler installation and replacement, making sure your household always remains warm and secure.
Let’s delve into understanding when it’s time for a boiler replacement.
Age of the Boiler
The typical lifespan of a well-maintained boiler is around 15 years. However, as your boiler ages, its efficiency diminishes, making it costlier to run and maintain. If your boiler is approaching or has crossed this age, it might be time to consider a boiler replacement.
Increasing Energy Bills
If you notice an unexplained surge in your energy bills, it might be an indicator that your boiler is working overtime to heat your home. A new, energy-efficient boiler installation could significantly reduce your energy bills while ensuring optimal comfort.
Frequent Repairs
Another sign that you might need a boiler replacement is if it needs frequent repairs. Regular breakdowns not only disrupt your comfort but can also be a drain on your pocket. Investing in a new installation can prove more cost-effective in the long run.
Inconsistent Heating
A well-functioning boiler provides uniform heating across all rooms. If you notice some rooms are colder than others or there’s an inconsistency in hot water supply, it’s a sign that your boiler is not performing efficiently and might need replacement.
Noises and Leaks
Unusual noises like banging, whistling, or gurgling, are warning signs of a struggling boiler. Similarly, visible leaks or a yellow flame instead of blue can indicate serious problems requiring immediate attention.
