How To Choose The Right Boiler?

It is not always easy to find the right boiler for your home, and this is certainly not a decision that should be rushed. It needs some thought and consideration, as most boilers are likely to last you up to 15 years, so you need to make sure that you are getting the right fit for your home.

There are many things to consider, such as the brand, product and model of the boiler, which are all things that can only be explained to you by a professional who knows the industry and market well. Midwood Heating proudly install quality boilers from leading boiler brands Viessman and Worcester Bosch, who provide top of the range gas boilers throughout the UK.

It is extremely important that you choose the right boiler that is appropriate for the size of your property and is also able to satisfy the needs of all the people living at your home. For example, if you have multiple members of your household who need to shower at similar times before they head off to work or school, then you will need a boiler that is able to provide enough hot water throughout your house at one time.

The signs that your boiler may need to be replaced.

1

Age of the Boiler

One of the most important things to consider when deciding if your boiler needs to be replaced is its age. The average boiler's lifespan is between 10 and 15 years, depending on the kind and model. Your boiler may be more prone to malfunctions and inefficiencies as it gets closer to or past this age range, which is a sign that a replacement is necessary.
2

Frequent Breakdowns

Your boiler may be nearing the end of its useful life if you find yourself needing boiler repairs more regularly. Boiler components deteriorate with age, increasing the likelihood of malfunctions and breakdowns. In the long term, a new boiler is a more cost-effective and dependable alternative than ongoing repairs, which may easily become expensive and troublesome.
3

Rising Energy Bills

Due to their lower energy efficiency compared to more recent models, older boilers eventually result in greater energy costs. Your boiler may not be working as efficiently as it once did if your heating bills have been steadily rising despite your regular consumption habits. A more modern, energy-efficient boiler can help you cut costs on electricity and lessen your carbon footprint.
4

Uneven Heating

Your home's uneven heating or chilly spots may indicate that your boiler is becoming less efficient or performing poorly. Older boilers may find it more difficult to efficiently transfer heat around your house, which could lead to uncomfortable and uneven temperatures. It could be time to upgrade to a new boiler if you're finding yourself adjusting the thermostat frequently or if the temperature fluctuates.
5

Strange Noises

Unusual sounds emanating from your boiler, such as gurgling, whistling, or banging, may be signs of systemic problems. The accumulation of limescale, trapped air, or malfunctioning boiler parts could be the source of these noises. While some noises can be fixed with repairs, loud or continuous noises can indicate that the boiler has to be replaced completely.
6

Leaks or Drips

he integrity and function of your boiler may be jeopardised if leaks or drips surround it. These could be signs of internal component corrosion or damage. If left unchecked, even tiny leaks can cause mould growth and water damage. It's critical to have your boiler evaluated by a professional if you see any indications of water leaks around it.

Compare Different Boiler Types

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.

  • Compact sizes make combi boilers perfect for smaller properties
  • Ideal where there is little or no loft space
  • No need for a hot water cylinder allows increased living space
  • No cold water storage tank frees up a loft for conversion
  • No risk of loft pipework freezing
  • Less pipework in the home makes installation typically cheaper

Regular Boiler

Regular boilers (sometimes known as traditional, conventional, heat only or back 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.

Detailed below are the benefits:

  • Perfect for homes where a lot of hot water is used at the same time
  • Ideal where there are two or more bathrooms
  • A good option in areas where water pressure is low
  • Compatible with solar water heating systems for a lower carbon footprint and lower energy costs

Boiler Repairs

System Boiler

System boilers are a popular choice for homes with higher heating and hot water demands. Unlike conventional boilers, system boilers integrate the major components of the heating system within the boiler itself, removing the need for a separate feed and expansion tank. They deliver hot water at high pressure, ensuring a quick and consistent supply.

  • High Efficiency: Integrated components lead to better energy efficiency and lower running costs.
  • Space-Saving: No need for a separate feed and expansion tank, making it ideal for homes with limited space.
  • High Water Pressure: Provides strong water pressure, ideal for homes with multiple bathrooms.
  • Fast Hot Water: Quick and consistent supply of hot water to multiple taps simultaneously.
  • Quiet Operation: Generally quieter than other boiler types due to fewer external components.
