What could a new boiler save you?
A new boiler is a larger household investment, necessary in order to keep homes warm and with a plentiful supply of hot water.
The biggest UK boiler manufacturers predict that the estimated lifespan of a boiler is around 10-15 years.. Whilst some boilers may outlive this figure, performance capabilities drop dramatically, with a boiler that is 20 – 25 years old only being 60-70% efficient.
Unfortunately, boilers often break down without warning, which can make colder winter months difficult. It may also be expensive to source parts and spares for older models. If your boiler is old or in need of repair, now may be the time to consider a replacement.
New Boiler Savings
The older a boiler is, the less energy efficient it becomes. This could see you paying more for your energy bill, in times when gas prices are already soaring and becoming unmanageable for some.
On average, a new boiler is more than 90% efficient. This equates to a new A+ condenser boiler saving the average household around £580 per year on their energy bills. With a significant 30% saving to be had on bills, this means that when making the initial purchase of a new boiler, it will in fact pay for itself quickly.
Investing in a new boiler could save you money in the long-term, with a regular reduction in household energy bills, all with the added benefit of keeping your home warmer during the colder seasons.
Plumbing Services
As well as lacking in reliability, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, older boilers can also malfunction or break down at any given time. In the case of a problem, consult an emergency plumber Gloucester or the surrounding areas.
For installation of a new boiler, maintenance of an existing boiler, or emergency repairs; homeowners should always consult an accredited professional. For example, visit HPR.
