The idea of having a new boiler fitted can seem overwhelming. Many people dread the expense of a new electric, combi or gas boiler installation; perhaps you don’t have time to find reliable and reputable gas boiler fitters, and the search for new boiler deals can be more than a little daunting.
At Rapid Response Heating, we always reassure our customers a new boiler installation will save money in the long run
These are our Top 5 reasons it’s time to invest in a new boiler installation
Your energy bills are higher than expected
If your energy bills seem to be going up and up while your usage remains steady, your boiler isn’t working efficiently. It won’t take long for you to pay more in energy bills than you would have spent on a new, fully functioning boiler. So, save yourself some money, and reduce your environmental impact, by arranging a new boiler installation.

Your Boiler needs regular repairs
Your boiler’s yearly service should keep it running smoothly. If you find that you’re shelling out for repairs in between services, or tackling multiple issues with your boiler, it’s probably time to invest in a new boiler installation.
Your Boiler is making unusual noises
The familiar, low hum of a boiler kicking into action is no cause for concern. Clicking, banging, whirring, or other loud noises, however, are a sure sign that something is wrong, and your boiler isn’t working as it should. Arrange for someone to check on your boiler urgently and consider having a new boiler fitted.
Your Boiler is strugglling to heat your home
If it takes a long time for your water to heat up or your radiators to get hot, it could be time to invest in a new boiler. A handful of issues could be responsible, including air or sludge in your pipes and radiators. If you bleed your radiators and still have problems, it’s worth seeking a new boiler quote.
Over time, boilers can become inefficient. This is often a sign that a full boiler breakdown is looming. What’s more, living with an inefficient boiler can be costly, not to mention cold. You’re paying over the odds to live in a house that’s still cool, and to take lukewarm showers.
Your Boiler leaks
Boiler leaks are always a cause for concern. If your boiler is leaking water, it’s possible that it could also leak carbon monoxide. This can be deadly, and so we take leaking boilers very seriously.
What’s more, a leak could be a sign of damage within the boiler itself. Install a carbon monoxide alarm and have your boiler checked annually to stay safe. If your boiler leaks or has other regular issues, the safest thing to do is to replace it.
