Your Essential Guide
When you think of boiler repairs, one thing probably comes to mind: high costs. While having your boiler repaired is an expense, there are lots of things that can affect the final price that you pay. As a leading provider of boiler replacement services and repairs, we have seen firsthand what can drive costs up or down. Here is everything you need to know, along with some tips for saving money where you can!
The age of your boiler
First of all, how old is your boiler? As a boiler ages, parts may become discontinued or hard to find. This can make sourcing them for repairs more expensive. Newer boilers, on the other hand, tend to have parts that are readily available at lower prices. So if your boiler is on the older side, you can expect to pay a little more.
We are always looking for ways to improve value for money for our customers, and if we believe that replacing your boiler would be more cost-effective, we will tell you right away.
The severity of the issue
Next is how serious the issue is. A boiler that has broken down completely is more likely to be suffering from a serious fault that will take more time and money to deal with. That is why we always recommend that our customers invest in an annual boiler service. This allows us to spot issues at an early stage when they will cost much less to fix.
The team you choose
How much you pay for boiler repairs depends on the team you work with as well! Here at LKG Daughters, we are committed to fair pricing. Even if you call us out for an emergency boiler repair in the middle of the night, you can expect some of the best rates in Essex. We are also upfront and honest when it comes to our prices, so you will know how much you are going to pay.
The type of boiler you have
The type of boiler that you have can have an impact on repair costs as well. There are three main kinds of boiler, and you will likely have one of the following in your property:
- Combi boiler
- Conventional boiler
- System boiler
Repair costs for combi boilers tend to be higher, but then once you factor in their cheaper running costs, this can be cancelled out. The factors that we mentioned before tend to have more of an impact.
Your boiler’s warranty
Last but not least comes your boiler’s warranty! If it is still under warranty and work is carried out by a Gas Safe engineer using genuine parts, then the cost may be covered. This is why keeping up with serving is so important, as this tends to be one of the main terms of any boiler warranty.
