Whether you’re ready for a new boiler installation or just wondering how often to service your current model, boilers can be confusing. But it doesn’t have to be. 

At SecureHeat we are always happy to answer your boiler questions, including: 

What Types Of Boiler Are There?

Lots! The most common types are combi boilers (A combined water heater and central heating system), system boilers (which require an extra heating tank) and standard boilers (which require both hot and cold water storage tanks). 

How Often Should I Replace It?

The average boiler has a lifespan of 10-15 years, but your boiler could last longer if you take care of it. But if your boiler repairs are getting too expensive, or it needs repairing more and more frequently, it might be time to replace it. 

How Do I Know It If Needs Repairing? 

There are a lot of warning signs for a faulty boiler, including strange smells or noises, cold water or your carbon monoxide alarm sounding. 

How Often Should I Get It Serviced? 

As a general rule, you should get your boiler serviced once a year. While it might seem unnecessary while there is nothing wrong, an annual service helps you avoid expensive repairs by fixing little problems while they are still little, and catching issues before they cause breakdown.
