It\u2019s any homeowner\u2019s worst nightmare. You want hot water for your shower but discover the boiler has faulted and now won\u2019t work. Unfortunately this happens and often it can be unable to prevent. What\u2019s important though is to act quickly and deal with the situation with boiler repairs. <\/p>\n

First off, don\u2019t look to carry out repairs yourself. You\u2019ll need a Gas Safe registered engineer to complete boiler repairs and it\u2019s illegal to work on a gas boiler without the appropriate accreditation. <\/p>\n

What would be useful though is to know how much boiler parts are likely to cost before speaking with an engineer. <\/p>\n

Repair or replace?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course, sometimes it\u2019ll be more economical to replace a boiler rather than continue to carry out boiler repairs. Inefficient boilers will add up to \u00a3310 to your annual energy bills and when you add a repair charge you may decide a new boiler is more worthwhile. <\/p>\n

When it comes down to this, weigh up how much it\u2019ll cost to repair the boiler in comparison to paying for a new one. The amount you save with a new boiler will vary, mainly depending on the brand and type of boiler you choose. <\/p>\n
