Buying and installing a new boiler is costly. When researching which boiler to buy, it is tempting to go for the cheapest option, but is this a wise?
You save upfront costs on a budget boiler. However, this could be just a short-term saving, as you may not save money long-term. A cheap boiler is not expected to last as long as a more expensive one. This is why the manufacturer’s warranty for low-price boilers is much shorter.
Inexpensive boilers are made with cheaper parts that may not be reliable and have to be replaced more often, which can be costly. For instance, the heat exchanger may be made from aluminium rather than more robust and longer lasting stainless steel.
A cheaper boiler can be less energy efficient than a better-quality boiler, and this means energy bills are likely to be higher
Budget boilers tend to be larger and noisier than premium quality ones. Some cheap boilers are made by more obscure brands, and spare parts can be difficult to source.
If you want a reliable, long-lasting boiler, be prepared to pay more. However, if you are in need of any financial support for the cost of your boiler, you may be eligible for finance to help spread the installation costs over a few years.
