The average lifespan of a boiler in the UK is typically 10-15 years.

However, with proper maintenance and regular servicing, some boilers can last up to 20 years or even longer

While there’s no strict rule on when to replace a boiler, here are some signs that indicate it may be time for a replacement:

1. Age: If your boiler is over 15 years old, it’s likely time to consider a replacement

2. Efficiency: Older boilers become less efficient over time, leading to higher energy bills

3. Frequent repairs: If your boiler requires repairs more than once a year, it may be more cost-effective to replace it

4. Strange noises or smells: Unusual sounds or odors can indicate internal problems

5. Visible leaks or corrosion: These are signs of serious issues that may warrant replacement

6. Inconsistent heating or hot water supply: If your boiler struggles to provide consistent heat or hot water, it may be nearing the end of its life

Replacing an older boiler with a modern, energy-efficient model can lead to significant benefits:

• Improved energy efficiency, potentially saving up to £840 per year on energy bills
• Enhanced reliability and performance
• Access to the latest technology, including smart controls
• Longer warranty periods on new boilers
