If you have a boiler for your heating and hot water needs and you've noticed your bills get higher every year, it may be time to upgrade to a more efficient unit. The design, technology, and components of boilers have changed so much in the last 10-20 years, and a new boiler installation may be what you need to save.

You also don't want to end up with surprise repair needs, the need for replacement when the temperatures are low, or part or unit availability is low. Here are some of the benefits of getting a new boiler.

Efficiency Gains

Your current furnace may only be running around 60 percent efficiency or less, depending on the age of the unit and how it's been maintained over the years. Investing in a new unit could get you over 90 percent efficiency throughout the year. This means less energy wasted and more money saved while you're heating your home and using hot water. This is significant over time.

Safety Concerns

When heating units that use gas get to be decades old, they can become a safety concern inside the home. Replacing the unit and having all-new gas pipes and safety features will be a big relief. Also, let your insurance provider know that you replaced the unit. You want it covered if something happens to the home, and you may get a discount for lowering the risk of a hazard on the property.

Better Function

A new boiler is going to heat your home quickly and get the hot water that you need fast. If your current boiler was lacking with constant temperatures when using hot water throughout the house or struggling to keep the house warm at the temperature that you desired, you won't have to worry about these issues with the new unit.

Be sure to talk with the boiler installation company about the warranty that comes with the unit you choose. This way, you know what to expect if any problems come up while the machine is under warranty. You also need to know if the company has a service warranty and that they stand by the work that they have done with the installation.

High energy bills because of old and outdated heating appliances can be draining. Get quotes, find the best rate, and get a new boiler system installed in your home so you can get efficient heating needs today.
