Why Summer Is the Best Time to Upgrade Your Boiler

Why upgrade your old boiler in the summer? Does it make sense? Is it worth it?

It's warm outside. The sun is out. The last thing on your mind is your boiler.

If you've got an old boiler that has been causing problems, costing more to run than it should, or is simply getting on in years - summer is the smartest time to replace it. Here is why.

Avoid the Winter Rush

In winter, every heating engineer in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire is flat out. Boilers break down in the cold. Emergency call-outs stack up. Waiting times stretch to days, sometimes weeks. And homeowners who have been putting off a replacement suddenly find themselves without heating or hot water in the middle of January, scrambling to get someone out.

Summer is the opposite. Engineers are available. Appointments are easier to book. There's no rush, no panic and no pressure. You can take your time, get a proper survey done and have everything fitted at a time that suits you - not when you're desperate.

Start Saving Now

A new energy efficient boiler installed now means you go into winter ready for when you need it most.

Old boilers work harder and use more gas to produce the same amount of heat. Upgrading in summer means your new boiler is already running efficiently by the time heating costs rise and you're using it every day. The savings start from the moment it's installed - not from next year.

Waiting until winter means another full season of higher bills before you get there.

What Happens If You Wait

Most homeowners who need a new boiler know they need one. They just keep putting it off.

The problem is that old boilers are most likely to break down in winter - right when the system is working hardest and temperatures are at their lowest. When that happens you're not replacing on your terms. You're replacing in a panic, in the cold, with limited availability and no time to shop around.

Upgrading in summer means you're in control. No emergency. No rush. No days without heating.
