How to Choose The Right Boiler Brand and Model for Your Home
Once you know which brand you want, there are other considerations to help choose the right model. We’ve broken them down for you so you can be more confident in making the right choice for you and your home.
Consider your home’s heating needs and preferences
We recommend assessing the size of your home and its heating demands. Larger homes or those with multiple bathrooms may need a more powerful boiler.
The best boilers for large houses tend to be standard or system boilers, as they’re able to provide enough hot water for all of your bathrooms simultaneously as well as having enough power to heat your radiators, and underfloor heating systems.
Consult with a professional heating engineer
Heating engineers have in-depth knowledge of various boiler brands and models, so you should seek their advice before making your final decision. They can assess your specific heating needs, the size of your property, and your hot water demands to provide tailored recommendations that align with your requirements.
When you buy a boiler with Your Energy, we’ll provide recommendations of the most suitable boiler makes and models in minutes.
Once you’ve made your choice, it’s essential to have your boiler installed by an experienced Gas Safe registered engineer. Our engineers can deliver and install your new boiler in as little as 24 hours.
Find energy efficiency ratings
Energy-efficient boilers consume less fuel, leading to lower energy bills and more money in your pocket. Understanding the energy efficiency ratings of different models helps you choose a boiler that can provide significant long-term cost savings on your energy expenses.
Check for warranty
Consider the warranty offered by each brand. A longer warranty period can provide peace of mind and act as a testament to the brand’s durability.
We’d also recommend checking the availability of customer support. Knowing that reliable customer support is available can be crucial if you encounter issues with your boiler. A responsive and accessible customer support team can help address concerns, provide guidance, and facilitate repairs.
A brand that stands behind its products with strong warranties and excellent customer support is likely to have a positive reputation in the market.
Researching customer reviews can provide insights into how satisfied users are with a brand’s support services.
