When the time comes to get a new
boiler or central heating system there's a lot to think about. The cost
of buying and installing a new boiler can quickly add up but if you make
the right choice you can save yourself as much as £200 a year off your
heating bills. We've put together a set of boiler-related guides so you
know exactly what to look for to ensure a safe, affordable installation
as well as the proper aftercare to keep you warm for the next 10 years
at least.
Boiler
insurance - If you've decided that you want the peace of mind that
heating cover offers then its time to think about where you're going to
get it from. Heating cover is difficult to compare because one
provider's costs and cover differs so much from the next. But we're here
to give you the low down so that you know exactly what to look for.
Do you need a new boiler? You
don’t realise quite how important your boiler is until it breaks down
and you’re left with cold showers, no heating and a big bill for
emergency repairs. Rather than having your old boiler fixed to keep it
trudging on, it might be time to invest in a new one.
Do I need central heating
cover? - If you’ve ever had to pay for emergency heating repairs
you’ll know just how much of a dent a busted boiler or clogged heating
system can make in your finances. Is heating cover the answer?
Which boiler is right for me?
- Choosing the right boiler can be a complicated choice. As well as the
cost involved, you have to take into consideration the space available
in your home, how much hot water you’ll be likely to need and how
economic your new boiler will be.
Boiler service and safety -
Boilers used to require constant attention but developments that allow
you to set digital controls that take care of everything have meant that
you’re less likely to notice if something is wrong with your boiler. But
there are a set of safety checks that you can implement to ensure that
your boiler and home gas appliances stay safe.
Your aging boiler could be costing
you and the environment.
Every time an older boiler fires up it drains money from your wallet
because as they age, boilers become less efficient, requiring more and
more gas each year. Aging boilers also create excessive CO2 emissions,
which are harmful to the environment. In fact, the Centre for
Alternative Energy reports that a replacing an old boiler with a new
high-efficiency one has a greater environmental benefit than replacing a
4x4 with a Hybrid car or even planting more than 100 trees!
