Replacing your gas boiler can be an unexpected cost. A regularly serviced and properly maintained boiler should last about 10 years. Here are some signs, If you still have any doubts about “Do I need a new gas boiler?”

Boiler is Over 10 Years Old

If your gas boiler is more than 10 years old, it will generally become less efficient. It’s more likely to start giving trouble at this point. This can be costly to fix, so replacing it with a new gas boiler is far more cost effective in the long run. Thankfully, a new gas boiler will be far more energy efficient!

The Boiler keeps Turning Itself Off

Does your gas boiler keep switching itself off? It may be a sign of trouble. There could be issues with the pressure or with the pump. A registered gas boiler service technician will be able to advise if it can be fixed for now, but may recommend a new gas boiler as a better option.

No Heat or Hot Water

If you find that the boiler is not heating up your radiators or giving you hot water, it’s definitely time to call an expert. This is a major inconvenience and if your boiler is older or having issues, it may be time for a new one.
