Boiler Replacement
Is your old boiler on its last legs? Not sure what you can replace it with? Want to look into using an Environmetally friendly alternative? - then please contact Cooks Heating and Plumbing for a quote.
Boilers should last for a good long while, they usually come with 'expected lifespan' of up to ten years. But boilers are complex devices and even with care and annual servicing you can't expect it to last for ever. Part of this is due to the fact that it is dealing with water, heat, and hot gases (some of which are actually corrosive). While a boiler that has an annual service by a registered Gas Safe engineer will be safe to use, after a few years the efficiency of the boiler will drop.
THis is simply as the parts wear out, much like with any complicated machine, be it a car, a motorbike, a plane (or a human body for that matter). Time just takes it's toll and eventually it will be more cost-effective to replace the whole thing.
Various government schemes and programs are carried out from time to time, offering cash-back on having a new boiler, recycling your old boiler, or moving over to renewable heating technologies for part or all of your heating & hot water. Contact us for more information and we can discuss whether there are any ways that you can save some money on getting a new boiler that will save you money itself. |
