As winter draws near, your boiler will soon become one of the hardest-working systems in your home. But how can you tell when it’s time to upgrade instead of just repair? At Forte Heating Services, we specialise in boiler installations across Farnham, Surrey, and Hampshire, helping homeowners stay safe, warm, and energy-efficient. Here are some clear signs that it might be time to invest in a new boiler installation before the temperatures drop.

 

1. Your Boiler Is 10–15 Years Old

Most boilers have a lifespan of 10–15 years. If yours is in that age range or older, it may be running inefficiently and could be prone to sudden breakdowns. Replacing an old system with a modern, energy-efficient boiler can significantly reduce heating costs.

 

2. Frequent Breakdowns and Repairs

If you’re constantly calling out a heating engineer to fix your boiler, it may be more economical to replace it. Not only are the repair bills adding up, but an unreliable boiler is a major inconvenience, especially during winter.

 

3. Increasing Energy Bills

Older or inefficient boilers use more fuel to heat your home. If you’ve noticed your energy bills creeping up, a new boiler installation could help reduce long-term costs by improving your home’s energy efficiency.

 

4. Uneven Heating or Hot Water Supply

Does your home heat unevenly, or does it take a long time to warm up? Are you running out of hot water faster than usual? These are all signs that your current boiler might not be working properly.

 

5. Strange Noises or Leaks

Boilers that make banging, whistling, or clunking noises may be suffering from internal wear or limescale build-up. If you’re also seeing leaks, it’s time to get an expert opinion. Our Gas Safe registered heating engineers can inspect your system and recommend whether repair or replacement is the best option.
