The Key Considerations When Installing a New Boiler

OK - so you’ve decided to have a brand new boiler installed in your home! Whilst this can deliver enormous and numerous benefits to your property, it also represents a significant investment that requires careful consideration. 

After all, the market is flooded with different types and makes of boiler, whilst there are also a number of accredited installers who can manage the project on your behalf. 

But what are the key considerations when installing a new boiler? Here’s our pick of the three most important!

The Size of your Boiler 

Not all boilers have been created equal, and the fact remains that the size of the unit should vary according to the nature of your home and the prevailing demand for hot water. 

As a general rule, larger properties with multiple bathrooms and residents require units that deliver a larger output, whereas smaller homes and apartments can make do with compact combi boilers. 

The number of radiators in your home is also a key consideration, and don’t be afraid to seek advice from an accredited engineer before making your decision.

The Benefits of an Energy Efficient Boiler

If you’re going to install a new boiler, you may as well upgrade to a modem, A-rated unit that boasts optimal efficiency levels and greater longevity. 

After all, this can increase your long-term savings by reducing your monthly energy bills, especially when upgrading from a non-condensing boiler that may be up to 35% less efficient that newer units. 

Sure, these boilers may cost a little more to buy and install, but the potential savings more than compensate for this over time.

The Advantages of Premium Boilers 

On a similar note, you should also consider the benefits of having a premium boiler from a market leading manufacturer installed in your home. 

More specifically, these units tend to boast the highest levels of performance and efficiency, whilst they often come with extended warranties when your work with accredited installers. 

This can provide coverage for 10 years or more, negating the long-term cost of repairs and helping you to achieve genuine value for money.
