How much does a new Gas Boiler Replacement Cost?

Gas boiler replacement cost needs to be considered if you are one of the unfortunate souls to have your boiler breakdown, or the lucky one planning in advance to upgrade your gas boiler to try and save some money for you and your family. By planning the change (rather than it being forced on you in the depth of winter when it breaks down) you can get competitive quotations and reduce the gas boiler replacement cost.

If you are unfortunate to be in the position that you are left with no heat in your home or property and then you need to act fast. Sometimes when we act in haste we make mistakes and our judgment slips considerably. But remember that typically the boiler that you had when it was new had an efficiency of been less than 80%.

Given that efficiency, today, due to wear and tear is unlikely to be greater than 70%. (Based on a 15-year-old boiler) If you have a boiler older than 15 years then it is most likely during the next few years that you will have to replace it on reliability grounds. So why not consider the gas boiler replacement cost and start saving straight away.

Gas Boiler Replacement Cost – When shopping around for you should consider a number of options first.

Make sure you have asked family or friends for a recommendation on the type of boiler they had installed. If it was over the last few years, there would be a good chance the boiler would be an A rated condensing gas boiler. Ask them the gas boiler replacement cost, how long it took to have the boiler installed what warranty came with the boiler. Would they recommend the company that installed it?

When checking out prices of boilers the cheapest is not always best as the famous saying “ buy cheap buy twice” this is so true when shopping around for boilers. It seems so many companies have jumped on the boiler manufacturing wagon.

With big name brands creating their own line of boilers now, for example, Lamborghini makes amazing supercars, did you know there is a Lamborghini gas boiler on the market also? Of course, I am not knocking the name I am just making a comparison to the fact so many makes are on the market.

Shop Local for your Gas Boiler Replacement

You should also shop local to reduce the gas boiler replacement cost, there are some great named boilers manufactured here in Ireland like Vokera which is manufactured in Cork they have been around for decades and offer an excellent back up on their boilers? You have Grant boilers which have been around for decades also and have an excellent reputation for the quality and backup service.

You will come across comparison websites that mark up all of these boilers with scores, but how real are these scores. But if you really what to know about boilers about their backup services? Then ask a gas service engineer, they spend their days servicing gas boilers. They can tell you reliable boilers, the ones to stay away from, the ones hard to get parts for.

Some manufacturers offer the sun moon and stars with their warranty. They do not have sufficient engineers on the ground to respond quickly to warranty issues and you find yourself sitting in the cold for a few days waiting for them to respond.

The SEAI HARP (Home-heating Appliance Register of Performance) this is a database which maintains a list of all oil and gas boilers, and their efficiencies which are available on the Irish market. This list is available on their website which can be found at www.seai.ie/harp
You can look into some of these style boilers when looking for that gas boiler upgrade with efficiencies greater than 90% this represents an operational improvement in efficiency of up to 20%.

What does this represent to you?

• Significant savings on your fuel bills by 25% and in some cases over 30%.
•  Greater safety and reliability.
•  Added value to your property.
•  Better BER (Building Energy Rating) rating.

Should I have a condensing boiler installed?

When working out the gas boiler replacement cost, you should consider installing the highest efficiency boiler possible. As these condensing boilers have a much higher efficiency than non-condensing boilers. They will save you greatly in the long run.

Note* Since March 31st, 2008 when installing a replacement oil or gas boiler it is now a requirement that the boiler is condensing, where practical (Section L3, Building Regulations Part L amendment – S.I. No. 847 of 2007:- http://www.environ.ie/en/DevelopmentHousing/BuildingStandards/)

How does a condensing boiler function?

Condensing boilers are highly efficient. They use less fuel and have lower running costs than other boilers. Higher efficiency levels are made possible by extracting heat contained during the combustion process which would have normally been lost into the atmosphere. This water (as vapour) can be seen from condensing boiler flues on cold days.

The vapour you see coming from the flue is sometimes described as a smoking gun. But if you check it your hand you will find little or no heat. You will find your hand becomes wet with the vapour on it, This contains around 8% of the total fuel’s energy.

How does a heat only boiler function?

The standard style installed boiler found here in Ireland which heats the radiators via a sealed water circuit. By “sealed” it is meant that the water is contained within the system, going around the pipework between the radiators, cylinder and the boiler. This also heats the “domestic hot water” (i.e. the water you shower in or comes from the hot taps) the storage cylinder in the hot press has a coil in it through which the “radiator water” flows acting like another radiator in the house if you like.

The disadvantage with this style of heating system is that if the cylinder does not have hot water in it you have to wait some time for the coil to heat it up. But remember that the majority of houses are like this and that there is nothing wrong with the type of system.

How does a combi boiler or combination boiler function?

Unlike the heat only style boilers, combination boilers are capable of providing instant hot water and heating while saving space. A combi boiler as it is also known combines both a conventional boiler for heating radiators and instantaneous hot water together in the one unit. This dispenses with the hot water cylinder in the hot press. But better still, it means that hot water is always available instantly and for as long as you need it.

*Note you will need sufficient water pressure in your area or to install a water storage tank and booster pump if that water is not powerful enough. The boiler will not produce hot water if the water pressure drops below a certain level.

Who will install my boiler?

You should only have your boiler installed or serviced by a competent gas engineer registered to do so. Check to make sure that they have the correct public liability, insurance to carry out work at your home or property.

What type of warranty is available?

Make sure you confirm the warranty for your boiler, if the warranty sounds too good to be true then maybe it is. So many times I have heard of warranties of 15 years etc. on parts and labour. Can this be really true, I have yet to find something like this that does not have some hidden extras sewn into the contracts? Best of luck in your search.
