Should I Install a New Boiler in 2020?

As 2019 comes to an end, your attention is probably focused on the festive period and the incredibly busy Christmas holiday.

 

However, the New Year is also a time of opportunity, and you may well be thinking of replacing your existing boiler unit before 2020 is complete.

 

In this post, we’ll appraise some of the key considerations before installing a new boiler, and ask whether or not this course of action is right for you.

 

How Old is Your Current Boiler?

 

Let’s start with the basics; as old and non-condensing boilers are unlikely to offer the same level of efficiency as modern, A-rated units.

 

In fact, some non-condensing units can be up to 35% less efficient than today’s premium boilers, meaning that you may be paying considerably more than is necessary on your monthly heating bills.

 

So, even if your old boiler is not showing overt signs of decline, you may want to consider upgrading to a new unit and driving significant cash savings over time.

 

Does Your Boiler Breakdown Regularly?

 

Conversely, you may have a slightly new boiler unit installed in your home, but one that has begun to breakdown regularly in 2019.

 

In this case, you can find that the ongoing cost of maintaining and repairing your boiler accumulates quickly, creating a scenario where it may actually be more effective to install a brand new unit.

 

So, try to keep a track of your boiler’s recurring faults and the subsequent cost of repairs, before measuring this against the potential cost of installing a new unit.

 

Can You Identify a Reputable and Accredited Engineer?

 

Given the cost of installing a new boiler and the sheer scale of this investment, you’ll need to identify a reputable and accredited engineer if you’re to achieve genuine value for money.

 

Working with the type of service provider also offers you genuine peace of mind, whilst offering you access to approved installers who can deliver extended warranties on selected units.
