While a gas boiler can last for many years when it’s well-maintained and regularly serviced, there comes a point with any boiler that it’s time to replace it, but how do you know when you’ve reached this point?
If you’re finding that your boiler is starting to break down more often, you may be better off just replacing it. While a new boiler is a sizeable investment, repair bills can also rack up when a boiler is coming to the end of its serviceable life, especially when the parts have become obsolete. Not including the annual service, if you’ve needed a Gas Safe engineer to come out more than once in the past year to attend to your boiler, it’s probably worth considering replacing it. It may also be worth considering a replacement if your boiler is starting to make odd noises, as it could indicate that a mechanical failure is imminent.
There’s a particularly compelling case to replace old G-rated boilers even if they’re working fine. These are typically only about 70% efficient, which is much less than the 90% or better that you would get with a modern A-rated boiler. This means you can save money on your bills, which helps offset the cost of the new boiler and potentially saves you money in the long term.
