If you are looking to save money on your heating bills, consider replacing your old boiler. Boilers more than 10 years old do not run at peak efficiency, costing you up to 30% more money per year than a new model.
There are different options for heating your home, including gas, oil, and LPG boilers. There are also different types of boilers, each with its own advantages and disadvantages depending on the needs of your home. Look for an installer that specialises in boiler servicing in East Cornwall to choose the boiler that is best for you.
Gas Boilers
Current regulations require that old boilers be replaced with new condensing boilers. These newer models have efficiency ratings of 90% or more, saving you money and reducing the impact on the environment.
Oil Burners
Today’s oil burners are technologically advanced with monitoring and security features. Like gas boilers, new oil burners are more efficient and they help the homeowner save money compared to older models. For homes that do not already have a natural gas network, boiler services can install an onsite tank and fuel line with full certification.
LPG Boilers
Another option is to install an LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) condensing boiler, which again use the latest technology and can also be installed, even if you are not connected to a natural gas network.
Types of Boilers
There are different types of boilers, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, such as the ones listed below. Talk to your boiler service to determine which type is best for your home and situation.
- Combination
- System
- Conventional
Once your new boiler is installed, it should be serviced annually to find any problems that could be costly to repair or even result in carbon monoxide poisoning if let go. In addition, a boiler that is serviced regularly will continue to perform at a higher level of efficiency to minimise your heating bills.
