Why should you replace your old boiler?

  1. Because you no longer require either a boiler or a fuel tank, you have a lot more room in your cellar for other things.
  2. You no longer need to register your chimney, which means that chimney sweep inspections are also no longer required and you can potentially use your chimney, for example, for that cosy tile stove you’ve always dreamt about.
  3. Purchasing oil (on credit) and that oil smell in your house are a thing of the past.
  4. The potential risk posed by oil tanks or overflow damage is minimized. This also often saves on insurance premiums as well.
  5. Older boilers and burners are susceptible to faults to error if runtimes are short or after long periods at a standstill. Especially on the few days when they are needed to supplement the air-to-water heat pump they are often difficult to put into operation.
