- Your boiler is over 10 years old
Most boilers have a lifespan of 10–15 years. If yours is approaching or past this age, it's likely losing efficiency and costing you more to run.
- Rising energy bills
An aging boiler works harder to heat your home, meaning higher gas bills. A new A-rated boiler can cut your bills by up to £350 a year.
- Strange noises
Banging, whistling or gurgling sounds (known as kettling) often mean limescale buildup or a failing pump.
- Frequent breakdowns
If you're calling an engineer more than once a year, the repair costs will quickly exceed the price of a new boiler.
- Yellow pilot flame
A healthy pilot light should burn blue. A yellow flame suggests incomplete combustion — call a Gas Safe engineer immediately.
