5 Signs Your Boiler Needs Replacing

As Thames Valley's trusted heating experts, we see many boilers that could have been replaced sooner, saving homeowners money and stress. Here are the key warning signs that your boiler needs replacing.

1. Age of Your Boiler

If your boiler is over 15 years old, it's likely operating at only 60-70% efficiency. Modern condensing boilers achieve 90%+ efficiency, meaning significant savings on your energy bills.

2. Rising Energy Bills

Have you noticed your gas bills increasing despite similar usage? This often indicates your boiler is working harder to heat your Thames Valley home.

3. Frequent Breakdowns

If you're calling for boiler repairs more than once a year, replacement often becomes more cost-effective than continued repairs.

4. Uneven Heating

Cold spots in your home or radiators that take ages to warm up indicate your boiler can't adequately heat your property.

5. Strange Noises

Banging, whistling, or gurgling sounds from your boiler often indicate internal component failure.
