Expensive Boilers are Always the Best

It's no secret that price doesn't determine value; however, many people are still under the impression that expensive boilers typically mean the best boilers - This isn't always the case. In fact, regularly having a boiler serviced can mean that your boiler, expensive or inexpensive, could last longer. On top of this, many boiler manufacturers also offer extended warranties and guarantees. To qualify for this benefit, it is often the case that your boiler must receive boiler servicing on an annual basis. So, what we've established is that simply having boiler servicing means that you can also benefit from extended warranties and guarantees. Here at DA Gas, Heating & Plumbing, we can offer extended warranties on Baxi boilers. Why not find out more about our boiler servicing and boiler installations? 

Bigger Radiators are Better

Another misconception is that bigger radiators often mean better warmth. Again, this isn't usually the case. If your system isn't producing enough heat, it could be other faults and problems. Believe it or not, having an engineer install a huge radiator, doesn't mean it'll create additional or improved heat. In addition to this, having large radiators can actually cause your boiler to be overworked.

Bigger Boilers Means More Heat

Finally, the last myth to correct is the belief that bigger boilers means more/better heat. In fact, bigger boilers will push out more heat, however, if your radiators are too small, the amount of heat received will be the same with a small boiler. Thus, having the best or bigger boiler doesn't necessarily mean your home will benefit from more heat - Nor is it energy efficient or practical. With this in mind, your boiler should and the entire system should correlate with the size of your home.
