Is a New Boiler an Important Investment?

As a homeowner, it can feel like there’s always something to pay out for and too many things crying out to have money spent on them. Even though it’s something you use every day, committing to the cost of a new boiler may not seem appealing, because it’s not as visible as something like a new sofa or a redecorated room.

In terms of investment, though, a new boiler can be one of the wisest things to purchase for your home. It’s something you’ll use all the time, bringing with it many benefits both now and in the longer-term.

Why your new boiler is a good financial investment

It can dramatically lower your energy costs over a year

The cost of energy is increasing all the time, and older boilers are less efficient than newer models. This means they use more energy, which you have to pay for every month. With a new boiler, you’ll start saving money straight away because it will heat your home and hot water faster while using less energy. Over the year you can save hundreds of pounds on your energy bills!

It can increase the value of your home

When people are searching for a new home, they now get to see your EPC rating online, before they’ve even viewed your property. If you have a new efficient boiler, this helps your energy performance, and it also offers peace of mind to interested buyers that they are purchasing a home with a sound central heating system that won’t require upgrading. A new boiler is thought to increase your home’s value by £8,000 according to research carried out by Go Compare. This is a great return on investment for you as having a boiler installed costs nowhere near this amount.  

It works with the latest technology advance

SMART technology is an ever-growing field and many new boilers come with the option to integrate these advances. SMART gives the potential to control your home’s heat from wherever you are in the world and use the technology to spot patterns that can decrease your energy use and save money. A new boiler makes an ideal investment as it lets you make the most of new tech and also future-proof your heating system.
