Is It Time to Replace your Boiler?

 

 The heartbeat of all gas- or oil-burning households, the Energy Saving Trust reckons it’s responsible for over 50% of your energy bills.

So it’s important to ensure your boiler is working as efficiently as possible, and to know the right time to replace it.

Modern boilers are a lot more efficient than ones manufactured and installed as recently as 10 years ago. Temperature control devices have developed in that time, too, meaning you can be far more precise with how you heat each area of your house.

Essentially, replace your boiler and you’ll probably use less gas than you currently do.

Boilers last up to 15 years. If yours is reaching that age, then think about installing a new one.

Annual services will ensure the best lifespan, but the older they get, the harder they have to work to heat your home. And this means they are less efficient, and the risk of malfunction is higher.

Replacing your existing boiler with a new A-rated condensing boiler could lead to annual saving on your gas bill , as well as reducing your carbon footprint by between 420kg and 1,220 kg of CO2.

If you have an old boiler its efficiency could be as low as 60% efficiency.  you can change it with new conventional boiler with 80-85 % efficiency (picture A) or  Increase it to up to 90%** by installing a new high efficiency condensing boiler (Picture B). Don’t waste energy before it even gets into your home.
