Boiler Replacement

Here are a few pointers if you are looking to do a boiler replacement.

 

Boiler Replacement

Has a boiler replacement crossed your mind? Are you having second thoughts about spending money on a new boiler? Your boiler is responsible for about 55% to 60% of your annual energy bill. Replacing an old boiler with a new one can save you over £300 a year. It can also reduce the carbon dioxide emissions in your home.

These numbers are mere estimates, and you will have to decide if it is worth the boiler replacement. Boilers usually last up to 15 years, after which they will need to be replaced.

Also take into consideration that an old boiler is more likely to have problems and need boiler repairs. Costs of emergency boiler repairs add up, plus the inconvenience of not having a working boiler when you need it.
