When your boiler is broken, it can be hard to know what the right thing to do is. While a repair may be cheaper, it is not always the best solution long term. Likewise, a replacement isn’t always the necessary option. To help you out, we have created a handy guide for you to follow.
Boiler repairs
Boiler repairs are the cheaper out of the two options, but they do not always have the same results. A repair is good for smaller issues but may not be enough for bigger issues. If you are unsure, our team can advise whether your boiler will be safe after a repair, or whether it needs a replacement.
If your boiler is new (for example only a year or two old) you will not benefit greatly from a boiler replacement, so a repair may be the better option. Similarly, if this is the first time your boiler has broken down then it is unnecessary to get a replacement and a repair may be the best option for the job.
A repair is usually better as a short-term solution, but it can solve the issue you are having with your boiler!
Boiler replacements
A boiler replacement is a much more long-term solution, as your new boiler can last for up to another decade. If your boiler regularly breaks down, you may find that you will save money by simply getting a new model, as it will be reliable and may come with a warranty, saving you from the cost of repairs.
If your boiler is older than ten years, it will definitely be worth getting it replaced. Boiler technology has advanced considerably so you will experience so many benefits to getting a new boiler. As well as this, a repair will be pricey on a boiler of this age, as spare parts will be harder to find.
