Sponsored post: the complete guide to replacing your boiler

Boiler Guide provides a savvy way to buy a new heating system that will save you time, hassle and money.

Where to start?

Replacing a heating system is (thankfully) not a regular occurrence.

In fact, there’s a chance you’ve never even had to think about replacing your boiler.

But, if age has caught up with your system and breakdowns are becoming annoyingly regular (and expensive) – it may be time to bite the bullet – after all, hot water and central heating are something of a necessity.

If this is your first foray into the minefield of a boiler replacement, the home heating experts at Boiler Guide are at hand to provide you with the best advice and get you free quotes from Gas Safe accredited tradespeople who can supply your new boiler and install it.

Do you need to replace your boiler?

If your boiler refuses to switch on, has begun to make strange noises and billows smoke, there’s a strong chance that it’s time to replace it!

But there are also a few not-so-obvious reasons you may wish to consider a replacement.

Reasons to replace your boiler

Cut your heating bills

If your boiler is over eight years of age, it may only be reaching efficiency levels of just 50-70%, meaning you need more gas to keep warm.

New A-rated boiler models have to be at least 92% efficient by law and a new boiler could save you up to £300 a year on your energy bills.

Reduce repairs and save money

Emergency call outs are expensive.

As your boiler gets older, it’s far more likely to develop faults and suffer complete breakdowns.

At some point, it is going to be more cost-effective to replace rather than repair.

Your new boiler will also come with a warranty providing additional peace of mind for years to come.

Improving location

Some boilers are placed in inconvenient parts of the home, taking up valuable space and generally getting in the way.

Paying to have your existing boiler moved can be surprisingly expensive, so getting a new boiler and installing it in the best spot could be an easier option.

Size does matter

If your boiler is not producing enough hot water to heat all your radiators and for you to enjoy a relaxing soak in the tub, you're going to need a boiler with a higher output and/or a hot water cylinder.

Safety first!

As your boiler gets older there is a greater risk of a gas leak or exposure to carbon monoxide.

Remember that even new boilers should be maintained and serviced every year by a Gas Safe engineer.

Just like a car, your annual inspection will make sure your boiler is working effectively, efficiently and safely.

Extra comfort

When it comes to winter there’s nothing better than battening down the hatches and snuggling on the sofa warm and cosy.

Having a new boiler that is easy to control and working efficiently will make a long cold winter a lot easier to get through.

Doing your bit for the environment

A-rated boilers produce far fewer emissions than older models, so replacing your boiler will lower your home's carbon footprint.

Increase your home’s value

A new boiler is a great selling point if you are considering putting your house on the market, and energy-efficient homes are a significant driver when it comes to added value.

Easier to keep control

Modern thermostats have come a long way in recent years.

Pair your new boiler with these swanky smart gadgets and you’ll be able to control your central heating at a flick of the button anywhere in the world, saving energy and money.

Buying a new boiler

Once you are ready to commit to a new boiler it is important to make the right choice.

While boilers are not the most exciting purchase you’ll make this year, they play a massive part in your day-to-day life and can vary significantly in cost and quality.
