If your boiler is more than a few years old, it should be serviced and maintained on a regular basis. After all, the normal manufacturer's guarantee lasts about two years, after which you'll be responsible for any repairs. In this case, if your boiler fails frequently, it may be more cost-effective to replace it. That is why it is critical to know when to repair your existing boiler and when to replace it. We've outlined several elements that might help you make a selection in this blog post...

Is it time to replace your boiler?
Identifying if your boiler has passed the point of no return can be difficult, which is why we've highlighted several signs that your boiler needs to be replaced below... Unfortunately, due to wear and tear on parts as well as new technology that is generating more efficient and safer boiler systems, all boilers will need to be replaced at some point.
Signs that may indicate that your boiler needs to be replaced
- If your boiler is beyond the age of 12 years or coming up to 10 years old
- If your boiler is frequently breaking down and you're having to pay for expensive repairs
- If you've seen a significant rise in the cost of your heating bills over the past few months
- If you have been considering purchasing a smart thermostat to bring down your heating bills
Always consider the financial implications
Of course, one of your first concerns will be the expense of a boiler replacement. While upgrading your boiler is more expensive in the short term, it may save you money in the long run. For example, if you have an older boiler that often but temporarily fails, the expense of recurring repairs might soon add up. A new boiler installation, on the other hand, can cost up to £3,000, but this is a one-time expenditure that will give you a modern and energy-efficient boiler that comes with a healthy manufacturer's guarantee.
