Benefits of a New Boiler Installation

New and retrofit boilers can deliver up to 98% efficiency, with an average life expectancy of more than 20 years.  Many boilers are designed to provide both hot water and heat. The top benefits of upgrading to a new boiler include: 

  • Better Comfort: Enjoy consistent heat, even temperatures, and improved air quality.
  • Greater Energy Efficiency: Cost savings that start the day we install it. Expect to save an average of 20 to 50 percent. Old boilers might be as low as 65% efficient, wasting your fuel dollars.
  • Enhanced Safety: Old units can be unsafe because they lack features designed to prevent failure. In new units, when one part fails, the whole unit is locked out completely to avoid further damage.

FAQs

Boilers come in various types, including hot water boilers, steam boilers, electric, natural gas, and oil-powered boilers, as well as combination (combi) boilers. Each type has specific heating mechanisms and installation requirements, catering to different heating needs and home configurations.

Boiler installation involves removing the old unit, preparing the installation site, connecting the new boiler to gas and water pipes, ensuring proper ventilation, commissioning the boiler, setting up controls and thermostat, and registering the installation for warranty coverage. This process is best handled by experienced Gas Safe boiler engineers to ensure safety and efficiency.

Boilers should be serviced annually by certified technicians to ensure optimal performance and safety. Regular maintenance can help identify and address potential issues early, prevent breakdowns, and extend the lifespan of the boiler.

The average lifespan of a boiler is 10 to 15 years. After this period, boilers may become inefficient and prone to frequent breakdowns. It’s recommended to consider replacing a boiler with a more energy-efficient model after 15 years to ensure safety and cost-effectiveness.

When choosing a replacement boiler, factors such as heating and hot water demands, size, model, and fuel type (e.g., mains gas, LPG, or oil) should be considered. Consulting with professional engineers can help determine the most suitable type of boiler based on the home’s heating requirements and infrastructure.

Signs that may indicate the need for a boiler replacement include frequent breakdowns, uneven heating, unusual noises, increased energy bills, and visible signs of corrosion or damage. If your boiler is exhibiting these symptoms, it may be time to consider a replacement.
