Reduce your Energy Bills with a New Efficient Boiler

The benefits of installing a new boiler

Energy bill savings – As has already been mentioned, a new boiler will cut your energy bills as it’s more efficient. Old, inefficient heating systems can be working at just 70% or less. This means you’re paying more every year for your heat and hot water and a new boiler can save you £300 annually. A new heating system will restrict heat loss and cut your monthly spending.

A warmer home – During the winter this is probably the most significant benefit, especially for the elderly. The efficiency of a new boiler will ensure heat is distributed equally throughout the house and every room is heated to your needs.

Reduced maintenance costs – As well as reducing your energy bills, you’ll also benefit from fewer and cheaper maintenance costs. Boilers older than 10 years are more likely to breakdown without warning which will only escalate your maintenance costs. Call-out charges can be as much as £200, plus the repair bill. This risk is substantially reduced with a new boiler.

Five reasons you should replace your boiler

Money - The most efficient boilers on the market seem to be the condensing type. These are proven to convert more fuel into useful heat and will burn up to 35% more efficiently than an older boiler. This equates to an average saving of £275 a year.

Peace of mind – Old boilers can be prone to carbon monoxide leaks, which is the poisonous gas that kills and hospitalises dozens of homeowners every year. Because it’s odourless and invisible it’s extremely difficult to detect until it’s too late. A new boiler will erase these fears and keep you and your family safe from monoxide inhalation.

More room in your home – Older boilers take up a considerable space in your home, with storage tanks in lofts and airing cupboards, as well as the boiler itself. The latest combi boilers are small and can fit straight onto kitchen walls or in cupboards, saving you plenty of space.

Reliability – It’s inevitable that over time a boiler is likely to become less reliable. As the years go by it’ll fault more often and will end up costing you a fortune if you don’t replace. Spare parts for older boilers are also becoming scarcer, so the cost of repair will only increase.

Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) – EPC’s are becoming a necessary part of properties and are now a mandatory part of the Home Information Pack. A quick way to improve your home’s efficiency rating is with a new boiler and this will help you jump between bands.

With all the benefits a new boiler brings, it’s worthwhile investing. You can reduce your bills, cut carbon emissions and avoid high repair costs.
