Does my boiler need to be replaced?

We believe in an transparent and honest approach with all our customers, so will always give you the best advice if your boiler needs replacing. There can be a variety of different reasons that will help identify that your boiler may need replacing. The pilot on your pilot light should burn blue, in the event that’s it’s a different colour, then please call us right away.

Additionally, if you notice strange noises from either the boiler or radiators. You may suddenly hear an increase in noise level, this indicates a problem and needs attention by a qualified gas engineer. Finally, and just as important as the other points, any evidence of any leaks or strange smells coming from your boiler, should be treated as urgent. If you ever smell gas, then you should immediately call 0800 111 999.

Combi boiler

A combination or ‘combi’ boiler is both a high efficiency water heater and a central heating boiler in a single compact unit. Combi boilers heat water directly from the mains when you turn on a tap, so you won’t need a hot water storage cylinder or a cold water storage tank in the roof space.

They are also very cost-effective and energy-efficient as water is heated instantly rather than being heated and then stored in a cylinder. An added benefit is that hot water is delivered at mains pressure, which means that you could get a powerful shower without the need for a separate pump.

System boiler

System boilers require a cylinder for storing hot water, however the major heating and hot water system components are built into the boiler itself, making it quicker and easier to install. In addition, there is no need for a tank in the loft, so it can be an option in a home with little or no loft space or where the space is earmarked for a conversion.

These boilers are also compatible with solar water heating systems, which deliver environmental benefits as well as lower energy bills.

Regular boiler

Regular boilers (sometimes known as traditional, conventional or heat only boilers) are ideally suited to homes that already have a traditional heating and hot water system which is linked to a separate hot water cylinder. These boilers also need a cold water storage tank in the loft to feed the hot water cylinder as well as a tank that maintains the water level of the central heating system.

A regular boiler may be the best option for replacing an existing boiler if the property has an older radiator system, as it might not be able to cope with the higher water pressure that is delivered by system or combi boilers.
