Should You Install a New Boiler in 2020? December 05, 2019 It may feel like there’s never a good time to pay out for a new boiler. After all, nobody enjoys spending their savings, even when it is for something essential. However, if your boiler is reaching ten years old or has needed a few repairs lately, it may be that the time is nearing for you to seriously consider a replacement. While the expert team at D A Gas, Plumbing & Heating will always try to repair the boiler in your home when possible, we also recognise that sometimes this isn’t actually the most cost-effective plan. That’s because if your boiler is constantly going wrong it may be a false saving to repair rather than replace, as your boiler may be nearing its end anyway. Below we explore whether 2020 could be the best time for you to buy a new boiler, or whether your current model might still last you a while. Reasons to have a boiler installed in 2020 The impact of winter If your boiler is old and has recently needed some work doing to it, winter is unlikely to be kind. If your boiler makes it through the colder months, it may be the last year it does, as colder weather puts pressure on your boiler to work harder and for longer. With this in mind, it may be wise to plan for potentially needing a new boiler in 2020. Improved performance The market is full of exciting new advancements in boiler technology, meaning that if you decide to invest in 2020, you’ll benefit from A-rated boilers with the best performance yet. You can also incorporate SMART technology into your new system if you choose, for example by getting a Smart thermostat installed. Saving money Yes, that’s right! Although you’ll have to initially pay out for the cost and installation of your boiler, you’ll quickly notice the savings stacking up as you’ll pay less for your energy thanks to improved efficiency. You’ll also save from less costly repair charges too. Renovating your home Getting a new boiler installed could easily form part of planned work on your home. If you’re planning an extension or renovation or getting part of your house remodelled, it might be the ideal time to switch your boiler as well. Doing both together means you can easily move the location of your boiler to fit with a new home design, plus getting the work done at the same time will minimise disruption.
