Is it worth investing in a new boiler?

If you own an old boiler or are constrained to using electric heaters, which put a staggering burden on your bills. You can economize your spending by opting for a new boiler installation instead. Modern gas heating boilers are better energy/ heat efficient and heat your home on lower running costs compared to old boilers and electric heaters.

Here are some of the problems people face with old boilers and electric heaters which are detailed below

Problems with old boilers 

If you possess an old boiler which is out of date but still works, you are probably wasting energy and therefore money. There can be a number of reasons, For example if your boiler cylinder does not have a thermostat or has a broken thermostat, it will be impossible to control the temperature which will cause extensive heating eventually resulting in scalding.

If you have an old boiler with a gravity fed hot water cylinder it can be really slow to re-heat the whole cylinder causing slow heating using double the energy which is going in waste.

Old heating systems usually don’t come with room thermostats so you are basically heating the whole house rather than the rooms you want to be heated so eventually you are wasting energy and money to heat those rooms which don’t need to be heated.

In Efficient Electric Heaters

Many people turn off their central heating systems and switch to electric heaters in order to save money by using electric heaters in specific rooms rather than heating the whole house through central heating, in fact they are spending more electricity to heat a single room. Electric heaters are cheap to buy and provide a good source of heat BUT what people do not realize is that as soon as you switch off the electric heater the room temperature comes back to normal in no time, they are not particularly effective in maintaining a constant room temperature.

Boilers with Programmable controls and their Benefits

Replacing an old styled heavy weight boiler can save you about £300 yearly says the Energy Savings Trust. Modern Programmable boilers are very much efficient because they are able to re-use some of the energy which they produce. Programmable controls make it easy for users to direct which parts of the house they need to be warm eventually saving you money and energy which was wasted through heating unoccupied rooms by old boilers.

Modern programmable controls make it easy for you to measure the warmth of the room and adjust the temperature as you wish it to be.

Easily operated boilers make it easy for users to program the boilers to work only when there are people in the house or room, You can even schedule your boiler to work on specific dates with specific temperature for each specific room, which eventually will save you a lot of energy and money that you won’t be wasting by heating places that aren’t required to.

So it is clear that getting a new modern boiler is undoubtedly a very good decision for you to save money and energy.
