Boilers last on average 10 years. That’s about a decade to me. If your boiler is starting to wear, that’s an indication it may need to be replaced.
You may also want to replace your boiler for other reasons.
Boiler that is old and inefficient
Boilers older than 10 years are considered G-rated, and have an efficiency rating only of 70%. This means that for every PS1 you spend, 30p will be wasted. Modern boilers, such as the one Heatable installed, are more efficient than 90%.
Beyond Economical Repair (BER).
A broken boiler can often be very expensive to repair. If parts such as the heat exchanger or PCB need to be replaced, it might be cheaper to have your boiler replaced.
Move your boiler
A new boiler Croydon can be installed in a location that discreet. This will provide a warranty.
Current boiler doesn’t meet hot water demands
You may need to replace your boiler if your boiler is not producing hot water or heating as it should.
Different types of gas boiler replacements
There are three main types of boilers available if you’re looking for a replacement.
Combi boilers
They are ideal for small spaces.
You do not require a hot water storage tank.
You don’t need a cold water tank.
This is not recommended for large properties that have multiple bathrooms/high hot water demands.
It might not be suitable in areas with low mains water pressure.
Boilers for regular heating (heat only)
Ideal for properties that have multiple bathrooms or high hot water requirements.
This is the ideal solution for those who suffer from low water pressure.
This is a good choice for people with traditional heating systems that are not able to withstand high pressure.
They require a cistern to store the gas, so they are more demanding and have limited options for replacement.
The attic cistern is susceptible to freezing in winter, and can leak if it does.
Boilers for system boilers
This is recommended for properties that have multiple hot water outlets/bathrooms.
It does not require a cistern in the loft.
Installation is made easier by internal components.
It might not be suitable in areas with low water pressure.
It might not work with older central heating systems, which cannot withstand high water pressures.
You need to think about where the hot water tank will be stored if you’re switching from a combi.
