How Much Could You Save With a New Energy Efficient Boiler?

With the cost of heating homes in the UK rising, many people are looking for ways to improve their energy efficiency and cut down on bills. You might think that having a new boiler installed is too expensive, but it’s surprising how much money you can save with an energy-efficient boiler.

Not to mention the likelihood of a costly breakdown is significantly lower. In this post, we’ll show you how much you could save with a new energy efficient boiler so you can decide if it’s the right choice for your home.

The stats on new boiler installations

With an energy-efficient boiler, you could save over £226 on your heating bills alone, depending on the size of your home and the age of your current boiler.

If you do have an older boiler and it breaks down, you could be looking at around £400 to get it repaired, depending on the extent of the issues.

A new boiler could be cheaper than you might think, especially with financing options available.

Boiler efficiency savings

The cost of heating the average home in the UK takes up around 60% of the total yearly energy bill. And the cost of gas and electricity take up between 4% and 10% of an average household’s total budget.

A new boiler can help you slash these figures considerably because they are super-efficient and so waste very little energy. Some older boilers can waste up to 40% of the fuel they use, which eats into a family’s budget.

Boilers are rated from A+++ all the way to G. An A-rated boiler will have an efficiency of over 90%, meaning it takes less money to run and will save you money on your bills.

How efficient is your boiler?

If your boiler has a sticker with its energy rating, you can Google the brand and energy rating to get an idea of the efficiency.

If you don’t know this, you can still have a rough idea based on the boiler’s age:

• 25 years+: 60-70% efficient (needs upgrading)
• 15-25 years: 70-80% efficient (should be upgraded)
• 10-15 years: 80-85% efficient (likely doesn’t need upgrading)

Regardless of the age, boilers will lose efficiency if they’re not regularly serviced. So if you can’t afford an upgrade, getting your boiler serviced is a cheap alternative that can help boost efficiency.
