How are you protected by the Gas Safe Register?
When having a new boiler fitted, it's absolutely essential that the engineer you choose is gas safe registered. In fact, it is a legal requirement in the UK.
The register gives customers access to a database that allows them to check that the person carrying out their boiler installation is sufficiently qualified to do so. Gas leaks can be fatal and carbon monoxide poisoning accounts for a large number of hospital admissions every year. With the existence of the gas safe register, you can avoid a dangerous boiler installation and gain peace of mind that you will be getting your new boiler installed by a competent and safe engineer.
Do you need a new gas boiler?
Boilers that require constant maintenance, make strange noises, struggle to heat your home, or are generally unreliable are letting you know that it's time for them to be replaced. Your old boiler can become a burden on your central heating system and will undoubtedly be causing an increase in your energy bills.
Central heating system issues that may mean you need a new boiler :
-
Strange sounds
Parts of an older boiler can be replaced if they are worn out, but getting a new boiler may save you money in the long run. Also, If your boiler is making noises such as knocking or popping when it's on, you should contact an engineer to check it out -- these are not the signs of an efficient boiler working properly.
-
It's always broken
Ideally, you should have boiler maintenance carried out by an authorsed plumber or gas safety expert once per year. During a boiler service, the engineer can detect issues that are causing recurring faults and might suggest replacing the boiler if it is nearing the end of its useful life.
-
Your current boiler is old
If your boiler is more than ten years old, it's time to replace it. In boiler years, 10 years is getting on a bit, and even if you think your old boiler is in good working order, chances are it is actually struggling to provide you with the efficiency you and your family require.
Furthermore, a new boiler is quite likely to be much more energy efficient. Although purchasing a new boiler may appear expensive at first, over time it could save you money on your heating bills by reducing your gas usage.
-
It's leaking
You should always investigate potential water damage and carbon monoxide leaks immediately, as they can both lead to serious consequences.
-
Fluctuating water temperature
If your hot water takes a long time to heat up or is lukewarm while running a sink or bath, your boiler may need to be replaced.
Despite the fact that boilers come in a variety of shapes and sizes, they all fall into one of two categories. The type you require is determined by your current heating system and other factors.
Different types of boiler
All boilers available on the market can be classified into one of two categories, and which type you need is contingent upon your existing heating system and other conditions in your home.
Conventional Boiler
A standard boiler is linked to a storage tank that holds hot water. The hot water tank uses cold water from a separate, often loft-located cold water tank. There is always a delay after the initial use of hot water because the now-empty hot water tank must be refilled with cold water and heated again.
If you have the space for it, a conventional boiler may be a better option for you than a combination boiler. Conventional boilers are more difficult to install and thus more expensive, but they pack more power.
Combination Boiler
A combi boiler does not have a storage tank and instead heats water straight from the mains. They're ideal for smaller houses or flats because they take up less room. They are frequently placed in a kitchen or an airing cupboard, but they may also be put in any other convenient location.
In general, a combi boiler is easier to install than a traditional boiler because they don't require as much plumbing. This also makes them less expensive overall.
