To Repair or Replace That Is The Question!

Should You Repair or Replace Your Broken Boiler?

Your boiler. It’s been quietly working away, keeping your home warm, your showers hot, and your toes toasty. But one day… disaster strikes! No heat. No hot water. Just you, staring at a blinking red light, wondering if you should call for a repair or wave goodbye and get a brand-new boiler.

Well, don’t panic. We’ve got a simple way to help you decide. (Hint: It’s a super easy quiz that takes less time than making a cup of tea.) But before you take it, let’s look at the big questions:

1. How Old is Your Boiler?

If your boiler has been around since flip phones were cool, it might be time to say your goodbyes. Boilers usually last 10-15 years before they start showing their age—like an athlete with dodgy knees. If yours is getting on a bit, replacing it might be smarter than endless repairs.

2. Is It Still Under Warranty?

If your boiler is still under warranty, repairs could be free (and free is our favourite price). If not, you might end up forking out for costly fixes, and at some point, the repairs cost more than just getting a new one. A bit like keeping an old banger of a car running—it’s fine until you realise you’ve paid more in repairs than it’s actually worth!

3. How Much is the Repair?

A small fix? No problem. A repair that costs as much as a weekend away somewhere sunny? Hmmm. Boilers are a bit like old laptops—when the repair is almost as much as a new one, you start thinking: Maybe I should just get a new one…

4. Is Your Boiler an Energy Hog?

Older boilers can be as energy-efficient as a toaster heating a castle. Modern boilers, like those from Worcester Bosch, can be up to 94% efficient, meaning they use less gas and save you money on your bills. A new boiler could pay for itself over time just in savings.

5. Are You Constantly Calling for Repairs?

If your boiler is breaking down more than a reality TV contestant, it’s probably time to move on. One repair? Fine. Three repairs in a year? Time to think about upgrading. No one likes an unreliable boiler, especially on a cold Monday morning.

So… What’s the Verdict?

Still unsure? We’ve got you covered! Take our quick and easy quiz to find out whether you should repair or replace your boiler. It’s faster than calling an engineer and way more fun than watching your boiler play up again.

A warm, cosy home is just a click away. 🚀
