Below, we guide you through the key factors to consider when selecting a new boiler.
The first step is to evaluate how your property uses heat and hot water. This initial assessment ensures the boiler replacement you select is appropriately sized and configured. Think about:
Large properties with multiple bathrooms place a greater demand on heating systems.
If multiple taps or showers are used at once, you’ll need a boiler with sufficient capacity.
Open-plan homes have different needs than properties with separate rooms requiring independent control.
Once you’ve assessed your needs, the next decision for your boiler installation is the type of fuel and system. Each option comes with its own set of advantages and compromises, for example, upfront cost, ongoing fuel cost, installation complexity and environmental impact.
The most common boiler fitting for homes connected to the mains supply, these boilers are efficient, well supported, and cost-effective.
For properties off the gas grid, an oil boiler may be the alternative, though running costs are usually higher.
These boiler replacements are a good choice for smaller homes or for those seeking a low-carbon solution.
Once the fuel type is determined, sizing and efficiency become key.
A boiler that is too small will struggle to keep your home warm or supply hot water, whilst one that’s too large may cycle inefficiently, wasting energy.
Modern boilers come in highly efficient ratings – an A-rated boiler will deliver better economy and environmental performance than older units.
Not only do high-efficiency boiler fittings reduce your heating bills, but they also ensure compliance with current standards.
