The Hidden Costs of an Old Boiler
From soaring energy bills to costly repairs, keeping an outdated boiler or heating system could be costing you more than you realise. An ageing, inefficient boiler could be quietly draining your wallet.
At Assett Plumbing, we want to help you make informed decisions that save you money and improve your home's efficiency. Let’s explore the hidden costs of an old boiler and why upgrading to a modern, energy-efficient model could be a smart financial move.
Are You Paying More Than You Think For Your Boiler and Heating?
Rising Energy Bills
Older boilers tend to have lower energy efficiency ratings, meaning they use more fuel to produce the same amount of heat. This means that an inefficient boiler requires more gas or electricity to heat your home, which can lead to higher energy bills.
Modern boilers are designed to maximise energy use, ensuring you get the most heat for your money. Replacing your boiler to a higher-efficiency model can help save money on heating costs.
Costly Repairs
As boilers age, their components are more prone to wear and tear, leading to frequent breakdowns. The cost of these repairs can quickly add up, sometimes approaching the price of a new boiler system. Investing in a new boiler reduces the likelihood of unexpected repair bills.
If your boiler is breaking down regularly, it might be time to ask: Is it worth continually repairing an ageing system, or is a replacement a better investment?
Limited Lifespan of Ageing Boilers
The typical lifespan of a boiler ranges between 10 and 15 years. Beyond this point, the boiler’s efficiency starts to decline, and repairs become more frequent.
If your boiler is approaching or surpassing this age, a replacement can provide:
- Improved energy efficiency
- More reliable heating
- Fewer unexpected breakdowns
