When do you need to replace your boiler?

Our heating engineers across Shrewsbury recommend replacing your boiler if it is more than 10 years old and demands frequent repairs. The reason for this is that as the boiler gets old the efficiency of its performance decreases. This happens due to the non-stop functionality of the boiler.

Another reason to replace your boiler is that new boilers come on the market every year, which is why it is hard to find spare parts for the old boiler after a few years. If you would like to discuss your boiler options with us, get int ouch with us today by viewing our contact details down below.

Which type of boiler is perfect for you?

There are usually three types of boilers, these include:

- Combi boilers

- Regular boilers

- Heat-only boilers

Combi boilers are the more popular option nowadays. The reason behind their popularity is their size and the fact that they come as a single unit. Combi boilers are small and can be fitted in compact places like cupboards. They are perfect for small houses or houses with single bathrooms. But they are more expensive than regular or heat-only boilers.

Regular or heat-only boilers are supported by a cylinder and need more space for fixation, they are perfect for big houses and houses with more than one bathroom.

Benefits of installing a brand new boiler

Improved boiler efficiency

A gas or oil boiler is typically responsible for about 60 per cent of a household's energy costs, so replacing an inefficient one with a more efficient model can help cut monthly utility bills significantly. New condensing boilers, which use a coil that heats water then transfer the heat to another section of pipe through convection rather than radiation (as in your old boiler) are much more efficient, at around 90% or above. Your efficiency will depend on whether you have an old non-condensing boiler—which is less than 70% efficient and could well be between 55%-70%. Moving to a more efficient condensing boiler can save you between £200 and £300 per year.

Improved heating control

Using a heating controller with room thermostats and TRVs allows you to set the temperature in each room, and then shut off each radiator individually once that temperature has been reached. Typically people prefer their bedrooms to be about 2 degrees cooler than the rest of the house so by using TRVs you can achieve this. Once each room is at the desired temperature and all of the radiators have shut off, a thermostat placed near one radiator without TRV can switch off the entire boiler system. This saves money as well as keeping temperatures where they should be.

Quieter boiler operation

Newer boilers tend to be quieter than older models, and this can make a real difference in areas where people are concerned about the sound.

Smaller size

Modern boilers are smaller than older models, and many have options for wall mounting rather than floor placement. This can free up useful space in some households.

These are just a few advantages we have listed, if you would like to know more, get in touch with us by viewing our contact details below.

Signs which indicate you need a new boiler

There are a number of indicators that your boiler may need to be replaced, such as:

Age: If your boiler is older than 10 years, you may want to think about replacing it.

Frequent breakdowns: If you notice that your boiler is breaking down regularly, this could be an indication that it is time to replace it.

Increasing energy costs: If your energy costs are going up, your boiler might not be operating as efficiently as it could.

Uneven heating: This may indicate that your boiler is having trouble keeping up with demand if certain rooms in your house are constantly cooler than others.

Factors affecting the cost of a new boiler

The type of boiler you select, the size of your home, and the installation's complexity are just a few of the variables that might affect the price of a new boiler. Several elements can influence how much a new boiler costs, such as:

Type of boiler

There are numerous boiler types available, each having advantages and disadvantages. The final cost of the installation can be impacted by the type of boiler you select.

Size of boiler

Your home's size and your heating needs will determine the size of your boiler. A bigger boiler will be needed for a bigger house, and installation costs may be higher.

Complexity of the installation

If you need to move your boiler to a new place or have a particularly difficult boiler installation process, the cost of the installation may go up.
