How to know when it's time for a new boiler
While it sometimes might be easier and seem more cost-effective to undertake a repair instead of installing a brand-new boiler, there are certain cases where it's going to save you time and money in the long run to get a complete replacement. Constant repairs can be costly, and probably mean your boiler is working nowhere near as efficiently as it should be. In these instances, a full replacement might work best for you. Below, we've outlined the biggest red flags that mean it might be time to install a new boiler.
5 major signs you need a new boiler
- Your radiators constantly take a long time to heat up, or the water doesn't come through as hot as it used to
- Your boiler is making unusual noises such as banging or whistling sounds
- Your energy bills are increasing due to inefficiency
- No hot water
- A leaky or smelly boiler
If your boiler is over 10 years old, we recommend replacing it with a newer model. Boilers, like most other appliances, have a lifespan and staying up-to-date with newer models will not only help you save money on your bills but also reduce carbon emissions and help you do your bit for the planet. As boilers get older, it can also be more difficult and expensive to source the parts needed for repairs, so it often works out more cost effective to simply install a brand-new one.
