Do I repair or replace my boiler?

When your boiler breakdown, especially during the winter, it can be a stressful process to get it fixed, so you are not left without heating and hot water for long. This can get overwhelming especially if you are unsure whether your boiler can be repaired or needs replacing.

While this scenario can be difficult for you to work out, our heating engineers are excellent with any boiler-related problems and have provided some helpful information to aid you.

So how do you know whether repairing or replacing is the best choice for your boiler?

Having no heating is simply not an option, especially during those cold winter months. So, it is vital that you are able to recognise any problems that your boiler might be experiencing so you can get the necessary help booked. From time to time, boilers do break down and need replacing completely. However, our professional team are excellent boiler repairers, so if we believe we can save your boiler, you best believe we will try.

Boiler Age

Older boilers are known to experience more breakdowns when compared to newer boilers, and this is usually due to the general wear and tear of the boiler components. While you may be able to salvage an old boiler with repairs, this can become very costly if you are constantly needing to make additional repairs.

We recommend that if you have had a boiler for over 10 years and are experiencing regular breakdowns then it might be time to get your boiler replaced.

Energy Efficiency

If you have had your boiler for many years and it is fully functional, it may not be as energy efficient as it used to be. Not being energy efficient could also lead to heat going to waste and increase your energy bills, so it might be worth considering getting a new boiler.

New boiler models tend to offer better heat efficiency than their older counterparts, thanks to improved components and technology. By spending some money on a new model, you will almost always save money in the long run.
