Pay off your new boiler with energy bill savings
And many are left with the dilemma of ‘eat or heat' when their boilers breakdown unexpectedly and they can't find the upfront payments for repairs. Essentially, replacing your boiler will ensure this doesn't happen to you and you'll cut your bills by as much as £300 every year.
This means you'll end up paying back your installation costs within five years through the savings on your energy bills.
Jodie Norgate experienced the problems with boiler faults first-hand, after her gas boiler broke down and she was left in the lurch for 12 months. She had to spend £60 a week on an electric heater just to stay warm and said: "Because of the cold, my bed went all rusty and my ceilings and bathroom went mouldy. It was either starve and be warm or eat and be freezing."
With a new boiler, you can escape these problems. Plus, low rate loans make it easy to replace your inefficient boilers. The Department of Energy and Climate Change say the average UK boiler only has an efficiency of 60%, which means thousands are paying out much more than they need to be.
When you take into account the costs of repairs and services for an old, inefficient boiler too, it's financially unviable to keep faith.
By replacing your old boiler with an efficient A-rated model you'll:
- Reduce your energy bills
- Lower the chance of a breakdown
- Warm your home efficiently
The Guardian also reported: "1m boilers are replaced each year in the UK. So this could be an opportunity to switch to a condensing boiler, which will reduce your CO2 emissions by 15 to 30 per cent."
When environmental issues are at the forefront of the news, it's important to do our bit and cut emissions. Replacing your old boiler will do just this and considering carbon emissions cause global warming, it's something that needs to be done.
With a new boiler you'll also improve your home's Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating. This EPC rating is extremely important as home buyers look at it to work out how much they're likely to be spending on energy bills.
The EPC rating levels range from A (the most efficient) to G (the least efficient). Other home improvements that affect the EPC are double glazing and wall cavity insulation.
