While the upfront cost of replacing your boiler is quite high, replacing your boiler may save you more money in the future as the costs of repairing an old, inefficient boiler can add up. If you notice any of the following, it may be worth investing in a new boiler:
- Your boiler is more than 10 years old.
- It frequently breaks down.
- Your gas bills are high due to boiler inefficiency.
- Your boiler or radiators make odd noises.
- Your boiler is slow to heat up.
- Parts of your home are heated more than others.
Are There SEAI Grants for Boilers?
The SEAI no longer offer boiler grants to homeowners looking to replace their boilers with a more efficient model. The SEAI now only provides a Heating Controls Grant, which allows you to pay for upgrades that can indirectly improve your boiler’s efficiency.
What Is a Bord Gáis Power Flush?
If replacing your boiler is outside your budget, a power flush may be a more economical option to try and improve the efficiency of your boiler and heating system.
A power flush consists of draining the liquid from your heating systems before a cleaning agent is passed back through it. This cleaning agent removes sludge that has built up over time in your pipes and radiators and helps to improve the efficiency of both your boiler and radiators.
The advantages of flushing out your central heating system are:
- Your boiler will function more quietly.
- You’ll get more heat for less energy.
- Increase the efficiency of your home heating system.
- Extend the lifespan of your central heating system.
A power flush costs from €699. A 10% deposit is required on booking and payment can be made in full at that time, or spread out over 12 months.
Selectra's Radiator Tip
"Bleeding your radiators is an inexpensive and straightforward way to help improve the efficiency of your heating system. Simply open the valve on the side of the radiator to release the trapped air and instantly improve its efficiency"
Is Bord Gáis Boiler Service Worth It?
Given the costs involved in regular boiler maintenance, deciding if it is the right option for you may be difficult. While the benefits are obvious, the cost involved may be a disincentive for those who have recently purchased a modern gas boiler, which should require less maintenance over the course of its life.
On the other hand, not servicing your boiler can lead to an inefficient heating system, causing your home heating bills to increase while also leading to more mechanical and technical issue which will require some investment to remedy.
Ultimately, it depends on the individual to make this judgement, but we recommend that any short term investment that can lead to a long term reduction in home heating costs is worth considering.
