Having a new boiler installed is a big undertaking and a substantial commitment, so when is the right time? If you have been thinking about a new boiler - because you’re renovating an old home or because your current one is aging, then you’re wise to plan ahead. Although you can’t predict the future, by considering the following points you can decide whether or not a new boiler in 2020 is on the cards.
The health of your boiler
If your boiler has been misbehaving of late, it may be a sign it will need replacing in the next year. As boilers age, and especially after they reach 10 years old, their performance wanes and often repairs and replacement parts only offer a temporary fix. If your boiler is getting old or has needed recent repairs then it’s probably wise to prepare yourself for needing an upgrade in 2020.
Your energy bills
While paying out for a new boiler in 2020 may not hold much appeal, you’ll soon find yourself saving lots on your heating bills every month. Newer models of boilers are much more efficient than older units, so they can provide the same amount of heat and hot water using less energy. The result? Reduced energy bills every month!
Available technology
New advances to the market mean your home can benefit from new technology, including with your boiler. Smart home tech is ever-growing, and you can be a part of it with options like Smart thermostats which allow you to set and change your heating from your tablet or phone, even when you’re not at home.
Changes to your home
If you are planning to make changes to your home in 2020, such as an extension or a refurbishment of one or more of your rooms, it could also be the perfect time to get your boiler changed. This will reduce disruption by getting two projects completed at once, and you can enjoy a newly improved home as well as a new high-performing boiler!
