When is it time to replace your boiler?

Your boiler works hard behind the scenes — keeping your home warm and your showers hot. But like all machines, it won’t last forever. Knowing when it’s time to replace it can save you money, stress, and a lot of cold mornings!

Here are 5 signs your boiler might need replacing 👇

1️⃣ It’s over 10–15 years old

Older boilers become less efficient and more prone to breakdowns. Newer models can save you up to 30% on energy bills.

2️⃣ Your energy bills keep climbing

If your usage hasn’t changed but your bills have, your boiler might be losing efficiency.

3️⃣ Frequent breakdowns or costly repairs

If you’re calling out an engineer every few months, it may be more cost-effective to invest in a new one.

4️⃣ Uneven heating or strange noises

Banging, gurgling, or inconsistent heat are classic signs something’s wrong.

5️⃣ Parts are getting hard to find

If your engineer struggles to source replacement parts, your boiler model may be obsolete.

💡 A new, energy-efficient boiler can improve comfort, reliability, and lower your carbon footprint.
