When your boiler breaks down, it can be tempting to just get it repaired and forget about it- until the next issue appears. However, at some point, you need to decide it is time to repair your boiler and swap it for a newer, more reliable model. This decision depends on a range of different factors, so keep reading to find out what you should do.
Your boiler regularly breaks down
If your boiler has already broken down once or twice this year, then it is definitely time to think about replacing it. A new boiler will be much more efficient and reliable, keeping it running smoothly for years to come. It may also have a warranty with it, protecting you from the cost of repairs in the future. This can help you with future budgeting and more, as you know no unexpected costs are going to come from your boiler in the next few years.
Your boiler is old
If your boiler is older than ten years (or getting close to this mark), then it is important you think about updating it to a new model. With an older boiler, it is much more likely to cause loud, disruptive noises- rather than just making quiet background noise as it should. Noises to be aware of include banging, gurgling, rattling and kettling. Not only are these distracting, but they can also cause your boiler to run dangerously and inefficiently. To reduce the risk of this, you need to get it checked out as soon as you can.
Your boiler repairs are expensive
As your boiler gets older, spare parts will be harder to source- making the cost of repairs much more expensive. This means that the cost of a simple repair could get much more expensive than necessary, just because the engineer needs to track down the part you need. The cost of spare parts will only get higher and higher, so it is ideal to get it replaced as soon as possible- to avoid rising costs.
