Gas Boiler

New A Rated Gas Boiler Benefits

Whilst replacing a worn out boiler with a new one certainly hits the bank balance, there are also some benefits to upgrading your central heating system, especially if you don’t currently have TRVs (Thermostatic Radiator Valves) or a room thermostat on your system.

Improved boiler efficiency

The energy saving trust estimates that a central heating boiler is responsible for 60% of your household energy bills, so having a more efficient boiler can make a sizeable difference to your bills. Most new condensing boilers are A rated which means their efficiency is 90% or more. The efficiency of your old boiler will depend on a number of factors but typically an old non-condensing boiler would be G rated which means it is less than 70% efficient and could well be 55% -70% efficient. Depending on your gas bill, moving to a more efficient condensing boiler could save £200-300 per year.

Improved heating control

Using a heating controller with TRVs and a room thermostat allows you to set the temperature in each room separately. Each TRV shuts off its radiator from the heating when the air around the valve reaches the desired temperature. Generally people prefer sleeping areas to be about 2 degrees C cooler than living areas so by using TRVs can improve comfort levels. Once each room is at the desired temperature and all the TRVs have shut off their radiators then a room thermostat, placed near one radiator without a TRV, can switch the entire boiler system off. This saves money as well as keeping the temperature at the right level. Also TRVs in rooms used only occasionally such as a spare room for guests, can be set at a low level so the room is not heated unnecessarily

Quieter boiler operation

Due to improved design and better use of materials, new boilers can be significantly quieter than older type boilers. This can make areal difference where a boiler is sited the other side of a bedroom wall.

Smaller size

Modern boilers tend to be smaller than their older counterparts and there are more options for siting them on walls rather than floors. They can even be hidden behind a kitchen cupboard. This can free up useful space for some householders.

Benefits of Regular Service

​Costly Breakdowns

Boilers suffer wear and tear over the years, which of course will increase the risk of it breaking down. The last thing you want is your boiler breaking down when it’s needed the most, this could not only result in a costly emergency call out, but you’ll also have to endure a chilly wait without any heating or hot water. Although minor faults can be inexpensive to fix, repair costs can be high and the longer a problem is left the worse it will get. A regular service will ensure such situations don’t arise.

Warranty

Your boiler’s warranty can become invalid if you do not get your boiler serviced regularly by a professional.

The Silent Killer

A regular service will ensure there are no leaks that may cause carbon poisoning. We hear more about the ‘silent killer’ at this time of the year than any other. Carbon monoxide can be difficult to detect and works pretty swiftly giving you and your family no warning of its presence. Keep your household safe this winter and get your boiler serviced.

Lower Bills

As a boiler functions, deposits build up over time which will reduce your boiler’s working capacity. This means that your boiler’s efficiency will decrease whilst your bills increase. A yearly service will see that your boiler is completely cleaned of deposits and blockages which could see your energy bills being lowered and your boiler becoming more environmentally friendly, and who doesn’t want lower bills before Christmas?

At this time of year it couldn’t be more important to check that your boiler is in full working order, after all a small pay out now could save you a whole heap of money and trouble in the future.
