Top Simple Things To Consider Before Purchasing A New Boiler

August 27, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

Buying and installing a new boiler can be extremely expensive, so it pays to be wise in choosing the right one for your home. You need to do your research before you finally select a boiler company. We’ve gathered the most important considerations you need to make before buying a boiler.

What type of boiler do you need?

There are various types of boilers. Hence, it can be extra confusing to pick one. They can either be floor-standing or wall-mounted. They might also be a traditional or a modern-type with an advanced condenser.

Floor-standing vs wall-mounted

When you look for a boiler quote comparison website, for example, you must first decide if you want a floor-standing or wall-mounted type. Boiler companies today usually install wall-mounted boilers for single-family houses. However, some homeowners prefer high-powered boilers, so they opt for a floor-standing model.

When you choose between the two variations, you must consider the amount of hot water you need in your household on a daily basis. You must also consider the available space. The floor-standing variety tends to take up more space because it’s bigger and heavier because of its high-volume capacity.

Conventional vs condensing

Conventional boilers use heat from fossil fuels. It produces too much latent heat, which is lost together with the vapour produced by the boiler via the chimney or exhausts. More advanced types of boilers come with a water vapour condensing feature, which allows greater production of heat without using too much energy. When it comes to energy efficiency, the condensing type of boiler is your best choice. While it’s more expensive compared to the traditional kind of boiler, it’s worth the investment.

You can also choose between a manual or an automatic boiler. Recently released models already come with adjustable controls. You can adjust the setting by pressing a few buttons. They also come with advanced safety features that prevent water pressure from becoming too high. When you select a boiler, you must also consider the size and its weight.

Compare the prices carefully

Once you have an ideal choice, you can start shopping around. When you look at a boiler quote compare both the features of the boiler and the price. Don’t settle for a cheap and low-quality boiler because they tend to wear out faster. You will eventually need to spend money on costly repair or worse – replacement. Consider which company can offer you a better deal. Study each option carefully.

Weigh in your boiler engineer’s opinion

Boiler engineers can give you valuable information about a product. However, you must take his advice with a pinch of salt. Some engineers are invested in marketing specific brands because they get sales incentives. While they may be promoting a good brand, the boiler may not be the right choice for you.

You must, at all time, ask the opinion from more than one engineer. This way, you can get a varied opinion about a product. You have more chances of identifying which brand or model will indeed work best for your home.

A boiler is a significant investment for any house. It’s important to weigh up your options, the opinions and recommendations of boiler engineers and the quote comparisons of authority sites. Never purchase a boiler without doing your research if you want to save money.

There are various types and brands of gas boilers, so it does help to know which model will work best for your home and personal needs. Make sure to consider the factors we have discussed above, so you can indeed make the most out of your investment.

Hi Friends!
I'm Fern and I have a love for travel, beauty, health and flowers! I went to school for nutrition, but wasn't really interested in being a nutritionist. So, I started to bartend and have since I graduated school a year ago.
I love talking to people, traveling and writing on my blog... and bartending allows me to do the things I love.

I can take off for a month to travel abroad and there will never be any shortage of bartending/serving jobs when I get home. I also love that I can work abroad bartending anywhere I want! So, I hope you enjoy my blog and if you have any questions, feel free to email me! :)
