Boilers typically last a long time, provided you choose the right boiler and have it professionally installed. But there comes a time when the only option is to get a boiler replacement. This may be after 10 years, or it may be less, depending on the condition of your boiler. At Icon Heating & Gas Services, we’re here to help you get the best new boiler for your home.
Repair or Replace Your Boiler?
It can sometimes be difficult to know when to repair your boiler and when it’s time to get a new one, but we can help you. We will never try to sell you a replacement boiler if your old one can be fixed safely. However, boilers do need replacing after all the wear and tear they face over the years.
As a general rule, when your boiler is 10 to 15 years old, it will normally need replacing. Sometimes it can cost more to repair than replace, especially if repairs become very frequent. You may also want a more efficient boiler to save on gas bills.
Rest assured that we offer our professional advice if you are unsure whether you should get your boiler repaired or replaced so that you can make the right decision.
Signs You May Need a Replacement Boiler:
– Constantly resetting your boiler – Water pressure keeps dropping – Hot water is not as hot as it should be – Boiler overheating – Pilot light keeps going out (on older boilers) – Yellow flame appearance – Stains on the appliance

When should I replace my boiler rather than repair it?
If your boiler is around 10–15 years old, needs frequent repairs, is becoming less efficient, or is no longer reliable, replacement may be more cost-effective than continuing to repair it. Our engineers can assess your boiler and explain whether repair or replacement is the better option.
What types of boiler can you install?
We can advise on and install suitable boiler systems based on your property, heating requirements and hot water demand. This can include combi, system and regular boilers where appropriate.
What boiler brands do you install?
We install boilers from leading manufacturers including Vaillant, Worcester and Glow-worm. We can recommend a suitable model based on your property’s heating and hot water requirements.
How do I choose the right boiler for my home?
The right boiler depends on factors such as the size of your property, number of bathrooms, hot water demand and existing heating system. Our engineers can assess your requirements and recommend a suitable option.
Can you replace my existing boiler with a different type?
Yes, depending on your property and existing heating system, we can advise whether changing the type of boiler is suitable. We’ll explain the options and any additional work that may be required.
How much does a boiler replacement cost?
The cost depends on the boiler selected, the existing heating system and the complexity of the installation. We can assess your requirements and provide a clear quote for the recommended work.
How long does a boiler replacement take?
The installation time depends on the type of replacement and the amount of work involved. A straightforward replacement is generally quicker than an installation requiring changes to pipework, controls or the position of the boiler.
Will I need new radiators or heating controls when replacing my boiler?
Not necessarily. Your existing radiators and controls may be suitable for the new boiler, but we’ll assess the system and advise if any upgrades would improve performance or efficiency.
Is a new boiler covered by a manufacturer’s warranty?
Boilers are supplied with a manufacturer’s warranty, with the terms depending on the particular make and model. We’ll be able to explain the applicable warranty when discussing your boiler options.
Do you remove my old boiler?
Yes, when carrying out a boiler replacement, the existing boiler can be removed as part of the installation where required.
