So you need to replace your boiler…?

13th September 2016 Trusted Web Design

If it’s time for you to replace your boiler, then you should have a good think about what to do next rather than make any snap decisions. Why is this such an important step? Well for starters, your heating bills make up for around 60{5dfef5ee4bdb9e4ccd342f82740f8c4bc135a5cd1b195e83ba9a769acb7c5569} of what you spend annually on energy bills, so choosing the right boiler is crucial.

The correct choice of boiler can save you money in terms of fuel efficiency, but there are a number of vital factors to take into consideration before you decide. Here are a few helpful pointers to steer you in the right direction.

What type of boiler should I consider?

It all depends on the type of fuel that supplies your home. If you’re on a mains gas supply, it stands to reason that a gas boiler is likely to be the cheapest option available to you.

Even if you’re not yet connected to gas, the local gas network in your area may be able to arrange (and help with the cost of getting) a new connection. However, if mains gas is not readily available, you could consider a biomass boiler or a heat pump. There are renewable heat incentives available that could make this a cost-efficient option for you too.

You could also consider an oil heating boiler if gas is not an option, and while historically oil fuel has been a more expensive alternative, prices have improved of late.

Combi or not?

A combi (or combination) boiler is both a high-efficiency water heater and central heating boiler. Combined in one compact unit, it’s a great space saver for your home too. Most old gas and oil boilers heat up a separate tank or cylinder of hot water instead. So when you replace your boiler you have a choice – you can buy a new regular boiler and keep the tank/cylinder, or go to a combi boiler and save yourself some space.

Family home?

The number of people living in your house should have an influence on whether you decide to have a combi boiler or not. Larger families will use more hot water for bathing, showering and heating more rooms than a smaller number of occupants, so a regular boiler with a separate cylinder might make for a more sensible option. Smaller households using less hot water are likely to be better off with a combi boiler.

Make sure you use the right boiler installers

To ensure that you get the right boiler to suit you, your home and your circumstances while guaranteeing that it’s installed properly, you need a registered installer.

At Embers Heating Studio in Derby we have fully qualified and manufacturer trained Gas Safe engineers who are on hand to advise and install. You’ll be given the right information to ensure that you get the most energy efficient boiler and heating system possible for you and your family’s needs while minimising your carbon footprint too. You can find out more about our central heating and boiler swap service here.

  • Excellent.

    Mr and Mrs Lyons
  • Excellent. Good sales pitch, clear description of what would be provided, fair price, good and speedy installation.

    Mr & Mrs Robin Grapes
  • Great advice and service. Good choice of products and fireplace made bespoke to our requirements.

    Natalie Hannath
  • Our new Rais log burner looks fantastic and the fitters were very efficient and completely professional. We are so pleased with the finished stove, hearth, plastering and fitting. We decided on Embers having considered others and chose Embers on price and Jason’s patience and helpful approach. The fitters were exemplary and left everything clean and tidy- they weren’t even phased when they found a live electric wire in the chimney breast! Our final price was way below other quotes and It has been a pleasure to find such an excellent company. I would highly recommend using Embers as you will not be disappointed.

    Sue Bainborough
  • Very pleasing. Attentive service, delivery on time with full instruction.

    Mrs Gill Thorley
  • Thought I would send this e-mail to tell you what a complete difference the new fireplace and fire has made to our living room. Also I would like to thank you for your time and trouble in ensuring all our needs were met. A big thank you to your fitters who installed the fireplace. They were very professional and caused no mess whatsover. They did a great job. Once again thank you and I would have no hesitation in recommending you and your firm to anyone who requires a new fire and fireplace.

    Mr and Mrs Nicholson
  • We would like to thank you Jason and your teams for the work done on our new central heating system and our new fireplace and fire. We are thrilled with how it looks. We would recommend you to anyone looking for the same service.

    Cath and Ian Hardy
  • Thanks Jason – the fire and fireplace look great. What a feature it has made! The guys made a neat job fitting the Riva fire and limestone fireplace. Thank you for your patience while we took on board your ideas and I kept changing my mind! You have a wide selection of fires and fireplaces to chose from.

    John and Liz Hanford
  • Very good service.

    Mr Challenor
  • Just a quick note to say thank you for your help when we were looking for a fire to fit in our lounge a couple of months ago. We eventually decided to buy an "Evonic e1500gf3" from yourself and we are extremely happy with our decision. Thank you once again and please find the attached photograph of our completed installation. Kind regards,

    Chris and Pete Lane
  • From the moment we entered the showroom, Jason was extremely friendly & helpful. Whilst we had an idea of what type of fire we wanted, Jason spent time with us explaining our options and the features of different fires from each manufacturer. We did look at other local companies but, because of the service we first received from Jason, we came back to Embers with a view to purchase the fire. In addition to the service we received, Embers were also the most competitive price we could find. We are delighted with our fire and would certainly have no hesitation in recommending Embers to anyone. Thank you Jason for a great service. Ken Taylor

  • Overall I was pleased with the service from Embers. Had a slight problem with the finish at first but was quickly sorted.

    Mr Lewis Burley
  • Excellent. Helpful staff and good products.

    Kevin Halford
  • Were very helpful in helping us choose a fire compatible with our flue. The one we had was both illegal for the flue and ill fitted. The guys came round on time and proceeded to fit an immaculate fire and surround. Brilliant first class workmanship. I’d very highly recommend these guys.

    Mark
  • Just wanted to let you know how impressed we were with the service received during the recent installation of our new Sherbourne Marble Surround/Riven Slate Hearth & Panel/Montage NU Convertor Ultra HE. The installers were punctual, courteous and efficient and left no mess either. The finished job looks stunning (the double bonus being that we do not have to re-decorate the room either) and makes a real focal point to the living room and to say that we are ‘thrilled to bits’ with it, would be an understatement! We would not hesitate to recommend you, to anyone we know, should they be looking for a first class job. Once again, many thanks.

    Mr and Mrs Dawes
  • Excellent service.
