Top Tips to Help You Choose Your New Boiler
your essential guide to making the best choice for you
We don't really think about using our boilers throughout the spring months as they are not needed in the luxurious few months of tropical weather. But when winter approaches and temperatures drop, the boiler is your family's primary form of comfort. Boilers are one of the most widely used machines in the UK and are drastically under-cared for.
If your boiler is over ten years old, you should consider replacing it as difficult issues could occur more easily. While frustrating, buying another boiler is an important and expensive process. So, to make your purchase of a new boiler straightforward and relaxing, we have collated ten of the most important things to consider when buying a boiler.
We will take you through these tips to buy a boiler individually, and once you are done, you will be on track to find the perfect boiler for your needs.
Research is key
Buying a new boiler is an important decision and one that should not be rushed. You do not make such decisions every day, therefore, extensive research will help you narrow down your choices. Investing enough time to consider different boiler types, manufacturers, and models will help ensure you end up with the right boiler for your needs.
Find the right type of boiler
Modern boilers are made in a variety of types, sizes, and models to suit different environments and loads. Because of this, It is often difficult to choose a suitable boiler for your home. Before thinking about products and models, you should know which of the three types of boilers are best for your home:
Combi: Heats an unlimited amount of water as you need it, meaning there is no need for a storage tank.
System: The system boiler requires a tank for heating and storing water, which usually suits a large family unit.
Traditional: Known as a standard boiler, you will have a boiling water tank where heated water is stored for some time in the future.
Know what you need
The size of your house and the number of people living in it is one of the most important factors to consider in determining what type of boiler will best suit your needs.
Reliability is king
Ask anyone that has spent a fortune on boiler repairs, and they will tell you this is absolutely true. If your new boiler is more reliable, the less money you will have to spend less on servicing and repairs.
Examine all ideas carefully
Input from a heating engineer will always be an important part of the information-gathering process during the purchase cycle. This person will have the option to determine the right type of boiler for your needs and will usually provide sound reasoning. For instance, the experienced plumbers at B. Wilson Plumbing & Heating are incredibly friendly and are always happy to pass on their valuable advice and expertise if it means less stress for their customers.
Post-care program
People accept that it doesn't matter who puts the boiler in as long as it comes with a decent guarantee. However, the boiler running into problems is more closely related to improper installation rather than a chance breakdown. If a boiler manufacturer is called for a boiler break due to an installation problem, you will be charged by the manufacturer for a callout. An aftercare plan such as the impressive 10-year guarantee can be very useful and a sign of the quality.
Finding the right boiler size
It is crucial to pick the boiler that is the right size for your home as it will determine how much energy you use and, thus, how much money you spend. This is very straightforward and depends on how many bathrooms you have and how many people are in your home.
Choose your installer wisely
Ask friends and family for recommendations to see who is the best local boiler installation company, and always use a Gas Safe engineer.
Quotes
Accepting the initial rate when buying a boiler is by no means a good idea. Always take more than one portion and then compare them. Go through them and decide carefully based on the positives and negatives of each installer.
The cheapest quote probably isn’t the best choice in the long run
The cost of installing a new boiler is an important factor to consider. While the best installers may be expensive, it may be best to bite the bullet and splash the cash to avoid costly problems down the line.
The important things to look for are:
Most people will simply buy at a cost; however, keep in mind that this boiler is something that will heat your home and water for 10-15 years, so it is sometimes worth spending the extra money to make sure it’s done right. The saying “you get what you pay for” is very applicable when it comes to boiler installation.
