Old boiler replacement can be just as effective in conserving energy as installing cavity wall or loft insulation, but the payback time is shorter and the cash savings greater.
Boiler technology has changed significantly over the last ten years; if your boiler is older than this now might be a good time to change it for one that is more efficient. A new replacement boiler will lower your heating bills and also reduce your impact on the environment.
High efficiency replacement boilers
Every new or replacement boiler installed in the UK must now carry a SEDBUK (2009) >88% rating. A high efficiency boiler, such as the Baxi Platinum Combi HE A, Baxi Neta-tec Combi or Baxi Duo-tec Combi, will generate significant cost savings as well as delivering great reliability and performance.
In order to further improve the energy efficiency of a replacement boiler, it can be linked to a Multifit GasSaver heat recovery device. This will save you more money on your gas and water bills as energy is recovered from the flue gases that would otherwise be wasted.
Choosing a replacement boiler
Baxi has a wide range of energy efficient heating solutions including award winning condensing and combi replacement boilers as well as a range of renewable products, like the Baxi Ecogen dual energy system.
Every home and installation is unique; our interactive product selector will help you choose the most suitable replacement boiler for your home, based on a number of factors including the size and type of your property, as well as your specific hot water and heating needs.
Cost and savings of replacement boilers
The actual cost of a replacement boiler will vary according to where you buy it and who fits it. The typical cost of a fully installed, energy saving trust recommended combi or condensing boiler is around £2,000. If you currently have a SEDBUK (2005) Band G boiler - which is likely if it is over ten years old - you could see a saving of £600 per year, which means that a replacement boiler will pay for itself in less than four years.
As with new boilers, replacement boilers should only ever be fitted by a qualified Gas Safe registered installer. Our handy Find an Installer tool will help you find a local Gas Safe registered installer near you.
