Reasons to replace your current gas boiler
Upgrading your boiler can be a costly investment but there are multiple benefits of modernising and replacing your existing boiler:
- New boilers are often more energy efficient resulting in savings on household energy bills. Paired with a Vaillant heating control or thermostat, you can potentially make even greater savings on your bills without being wasteful. New boiler installations must comply with Boiler Plus Government legislation meaning they must have a temperature control fitted and the heating system must meet or exceed an ErP efficiency of 92% during operation.
- If you have an old boiler that is non-condensing, it will probably be classed as a band G boiler, with an energy efficiency of less than 70%. All Vaillant boilers are ErP 'A rated', meaning they have an energy efficiency of 90%.
- Energy savings will depend on your house size and type, and the current levels of energy efficiency your house has (EPC). The more insulated your home, the less energy your boiler has to use to maintain the right temperature for you. Find out more about heating tips and how to reduce monthly energy bills.
