Boiler Replacement in Hastings, Uckfield and the East Sussex Area
LOCATED IN EASTBOURNE
All boilers and gas appliances eventually reach the end of their serviceable and repairable lifespans, even with frequent maintenance. Annual boiler servicing will prolong the lifespan of your installation but, even then, average appliance lifespans of around 15 years are to be expected. Time and daily use impact pumps, burners, valves, expansion vessels, electrical components and pipework, all of which will begin to break down at different rates.
A responsive approach to boiler repairs will keep your appliance in working order for longer but, when repair work starts to become uneconomical, we suggest booking in for a boiler replacement with our company.
Forward Plumbing Services covers all surrounding East Sussex areas including:
Eastbourne | Hailsham | Hastings | Uckfield
A new energy-efficient boiler replacement will:
- See you upgrade from a G-rated to an A-rated appliance
- Be more economical and waste less energy
- Save you money on your annual heating costs
- Help you to manage your household bills with greater ease
- Potentially lead to overall savings of more than £800 annually
Our company only installs quality boilers from market-leading brands and undertakes all work in-house as a single team of contractors and trades.
The Importance of Boiler Efficiency
The efficiency of a new boiler replacement pertains to the amount of energy it uses when producing heat and hot water. For example, A-rated appliances that heat at efficiencies of 95% lose just 5% of their energy overall whereas a gas boiler with a lower rating might lose as much as 40% of its energy. Local homeowners in the East Sussex area must still pay for 100% of the energy they use, so it makes perfect sense to have a more efficient boiler.
When choosing a boiler replacement, we ask you to consider the following:
The Boiler Type
85% of homes connect directly to the UK’s main gas network. There are three main boiler replacements from which to choose. Combination boilers tend to work better in smaller homes whereas heat-only appliances function better in busy properties and can warm water for multiple rooms at the same time.
For larger homes with low water pressures, we recommend system boilers.
The Boiler Size
Our register Gas Safe engineers will survey your property to determine the size of the boiler it needs, and how much space is available to successfully install the appliance. In terms of power, we make an assessment based on the kWh output. This measures the total amount of energy output (in kW) in one hour.
The more heat an East Sussex property uses, the higher the kWh needs to be.
A Complete Supply, Replacement and Maintenance Service
Forward Plumbing Services understands that for many homeowners, a boiler replacement can be an unwelcome expense. Over time, boilers that don’t function as well as they should cost you more in energy whereas appliances coming towards the end of their lifespans will cost you more in repairs. A new boiler should prove to be a solid investment because it will suit the size of your property and can control the amount of heat generated more efficiently.
Because our team also goes on to service and maintain boiler replacements in Eastbourne and the surrounding Hailsham, Hastings, Uckfield and East Sussex areas, your new appliance will always be in the best possible hands.
