When Should You Replace Your Boiler?
-
Boiler Age – If your boiler is 12 years or older, it may be less efficient and cost more to run. Replacing it with a modern system can save you money on energy bills. -
Frequent Breakdowns – If your boiler is causing constant issues and repairs are becoming costly, a replacement may be more cost-effective.
-
Higher Energy Bills – An older, inefficient boiler can significantly increase your energy costs.
-
Unusual Noises – Humming, vibrating, or banging sounds may indicate a serious fault, meaning it’s time for a replacement.
-
Discoloured Flame – A boiler flame should burn blue. If it turns yellow, contact a Gas Safe engineer immediately.
-
Odd Smells – A strange smell when your boiler is operating could indicate a gas leak. Turn off the boiler, call the emergency gas line (0800 111 999), and contact a Gas Safe engineer immediately.
