Boilers
A new boiler is one of the most expensive household items you will purchase so it's important to choose the right one at a competetive price. Replacing an old non-condensing boiler with a modern condensing system can improve your boiler's efficiency by more than 30% which will make massive savings on your bill.
The average boiler if well maintained lasts around 15 years and although a yearly service can improve the lifespan, an older boiler has to work harder to heat your home. You should ensure that your boiler is maintained properly in order to keep it functioning for as long as possible.
If its time to replace your boiler there are considerations that you will need to make. Getting the right size boiler for your home is the key, you need to consider the heating and hot water capabilities, the physical size of your boiler and whether it will fit in the space you have. The correct heating size depends on things such as the size of your home, how many bathrooms you have and how many people there are. A heating engineer will be able to advise you on this so that you can choose the best system to make sure it is reliable and will be good value for money.
Always enlist the help of an expert as this will save you money in the long run.
