Deciding to have a new boiler installed is not a decision to take lightly. When you can, it’s definitely best to plan it as then you are able to think ahead with costs and any disruption caused to your home. Obviously, it’s not always possible to time these things, particularly if your boiler packs up out of the blue, but asking yourself the following questions may help you decide if 2020 is a good year to get a new boiler installed.
How old is my boiler?
If your boiler is under 8 years old and has been performing well then you’ve probably got a good while to go before you need to get a new one installed. However, if it’s approaching or over 10 years old and especially if it needed recent repairs, 2020 may realistically be the year you need to get it replaced.
WIll my boiler last through winter?
Boilers are really put to the test during the winter months, and if yours has needed repair work carrying out recently it may struggle again over the colder months. While we don’t have a crystal ball to predict what will happen, if this is the case then it would be sensible to plan for the possibility of needing a new boiler next year.
Could I benefit from advances in technology?
The market is packed with interesting new boiler technology, designed to make heating your home and hot water as easy as possible. With a new boiler, you can consider options like a Smart thermostat, which lets you programme your heating from wherever you are in the world!
Could I get boiler finance?
Buying a new boiler is a big outlay, so finance may be an option you wish to consider if you do need a new boiler next year. You can contact us to find out more about our boiler finance options.
Could I save on my energy bills?
Newer boilers have a much better efficiency rating than older ones, and an A-rated model means you’ll get the same amount of heat and hot water to your home using less energy. In cost terms, this means your heating bills will decrease and you’ll save money every single month.
Am I planning other home improvements?
If you’re planning to make some changes to your home in 2020, it could be a great time to get your boiler changed as well. Having a new boiler installed at the same time as decorating, extending or renovating minimises disruption to your home by getting it all out of the way at once.
