Are you thinking about getting a new boiler installed in your home? Are you struggling to find the right make and model to go for? We understand how confusing it can be when buying a new boiler, so keep reading to find out our top tips.
Which boiler manufacturer should you choose?
Choosing a boiler manufacturer can be a big decision, as the market is very crowded with competition! The right boiler manufacturer will prioritise all the things you do, such as high quality, low prices or great warranties. When choosing your manufacturer, you may notice that the bigger brands (such as Baxi and Ideal) may cost more than smaller brands that are relatively unheard of. Boilers are expensive anyway, so we understand you may not want to splash out extra for a big name- but the extra money pays off! The big brand names are so popular for a reason.
What type of boiler do you need?
Once you have decided on a manufacturer, you need to decide on the type of boiler you need. Some boilers are best suited to larger homes, such as conventional and system boilers. These can meet a high demand for water but require water storage tanks in your loft. Alternatively, there are combi boilers that work directly from mains pressure. They are highly efficient as they don’t store any water, heating it up as and when you need it. However, they struggle to keep up with a high demand. Consider the pros and cons of each main type of boiler and choose that’s right for you.
Where will your boiler go?
New boilers are commonly wall mounted and positioned in kitchen cupboards. This is ideal for a lot of homes, as it does not take up much space at all. However, some homes may have limited kitchen space, so consider other options that work better for you. Airing cupboards or under the stairs cupboards are also great ideas. You also need to consider if your water tanks will fit into your loft (if your boiler requires them). If not, a combo may be more suitable for your home.
