In general, a boiler should last up to 15
years, and if your old boiler is still working, you might think you have no
urgent need to replace it. There are compelling reasons to install a newer
boiler, though.
Modern boilers are more energy efficient
than those installed about 10 years ago. You can expect to use less gas for it,
too. Modern boilers also often have temperature control features that make it
easier to customise the temperature to your personal comfort level. If you’re
considering buying a new boiler, here are a few hints to help you determine
when to make the purchase and how to make the right choice.
