There are a lot of things you can do to make your heating bills decrease significantly. One of the best and easiest ways is to acquire a new efficient boiler.

A newer boiler can be installed quickly and if you find the most competitive quotes from local installers, then it will not break your bank when considering annual savings.

Why You Need To Upgrade Your Boiler

There are many ways to save money by updating your boiler system. One way is to install a more efficient boiler that will use less fuel and produce fewer emissions.

Another way to save money is to install a programmable thermostat. This will allow you to set the temperatures in your home for different times of the day and will help you to consume less energy overall.

What To Consider Before You Update Your Boiler?

A new boiler that’s around 30% more energy efficient can cut your heating bill by as much as £580 per year.

A new boiler lets you replace your older boiler with a new, energy-efficient one – a quick fix to rising bills, which is guaranteed even with installation from local installers if you compare quotes. Here is a Boilerguide quick reference to help you.

The Cost of Upgrading your Boiler

As far as the cost of the boiler itself goes, you can expect to pay anywhere from £500 to £2,000, depending on the type and size of boiler you choose.

Installation costs will vary depending on the complexity of the job, but you can expect to pay around £1,500 for a standard boiler installation.

Running costs will depend on a number of factors, including the size of your property, the number of people living in it, and your heating and hot water usage. A good rule of thumb is to expect to pay around £50 per year for a standard three-bedroom property.

Follow Regulations Around Boiler Replacements

It is important to note that boilers must be replaced in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. This means that if a boiler is more than 15 years old, you may need to replace it with a new one that meets the latest efficiency standards.

Replacing an old boiler with a new, more efficient model can save a significant amount of money on energy bills. Make sure that the new boiler is the right size for your property and that it is installed correctly in order to avoid any problems.

Take Advantage Of New Technologies

Energy costs in the UK have skyrocketed by 54% since 2016 due to various factors including inefficient heating systems and increased gas prices.

In order to protect yourself from increasing energy costs in the future, it’s a good idea to install renewable low-carbon heating technologies such as solar panelling or air source heat pumps while taking advantage of available grant funding.

This can help cover part of the costs associated with replacing them if you qualify.

Remember to go online today if you’d like to secure a grant and make your home adaptable to temperatures set for different times of the day.  

Finally, you can save money by regular maintenance of your boiler system. Regular maintenance will ensure that your system is running efficiently and will help prolong its lifespan. Read more about replacing your boiler
