Signs It's Time to Replace Your Boiler:
Before exploring your options for funding under government initiatives, it’s beneficial to know when a boiler is no longer repairable. The first important indication is the age of your boiler. If your boiler is older than 10 years and always breaking down, replacement is usually most cost-effective when compared to repair costs. In case you’re spending on repairs more than once a year, then you should consider purchasing a new boiler.
Another important indication is rising energy bills, as old and inefficient boilers tend to perform poorly.
It is important to take into account the safety hazard imposed by older boilers. you can smell gas or your carbon monoxide alarm goes off, switch off your boiler and call the emergency gas service number straight away.
