Should I repair or replace my boiler?
f your boiler keeps on breaking down, your situation is no fun at all.
We all take our central heating systems for granted and when they break down, it can be a very stressful time for all the family…

- We can’t take a relaxing bath

- If it’s during the colder months, it’s as cold inside as it is outside

5 Questions to help you decide between boiler repair and replacement
Are spare parts available?
Before deciding to have your boiler repaired, find out if parts are still readily available. Boiler manufacturers typically discontinue spares and accessories on some makes of boilers 10 years old or more.
Is your boiler a condensing boiler?
Since 2004 building regulations insisted that high efficiency condensing boilers be installed, so if your boiler was installed pre-2004 it’s likely that it’s not so energy efficient so your fuel bills are unnecessarily higher than they could be.
What’s the cost difference between repair and replacement?
Although some boiler or central heating system repairs can run into many hundreds of pounds, it may on the surface seem cheaper than the cost of a new boiler. However, remember that when repairs are carried out on your boiler or central heating system, it’s only the parts that repairers have replaced that can be guaranteed and doesn’t prevent another part going bad/wearing out and needing replacement.
Are there other hidden costs of repairs?
If your boiler is regularly breaking down remember it’s not just the repair bills itself. You may have had to take time off work (and possibly lost income) to wait for an engineer to arrive.
Advanced Heating & Plumbing can give you a detailed report on the condition of your boiler and likely future repair bills to help you make a clear decision that’s best for you, your family and your pocket.
What are the benefits of fitting a new boiler?
Getting a new boiler will save you thousands of pounds when you take into account repair bills (remember that our new boilers come with a minimum 10 year guarantee), energy consumption bills and lost income from taking time off work to wait for heating engineers.
