Should you repair or replace your Boiler?
Oggi with a Boiler

1.  If the Boiler is broken, fix it!

The first thing to consider when your boiler breaks down is whether or not it can be repaired. Often, heating systems can be repaired quite easily and cheaply. However, if your equipment is beyond repair, or if the repair costs are too high, then replacement may be the best option.

2.  Consider the age of your boiler

Another thing to consider when deciding whether to repair or replace your boiler is the age of the unit. If your equipment is relatively new, it may make more sense to repair it than to replace it. However, if your boiler is quite old, replacement may be the wiser choice.

3. Think about efficiency

When deciding whether to repair or replace your boiler, you should also think about efficiency. Older Equipment tends to be less efficient than newer models, so replacing an old system with a new, more efficient model could save you money in the long run.

4.  Get from reputable companies

Finally, when making a decision on whether to repair or replace your boiler, be sure to get quotes from qualified contractors. This will help you to compare costs, and options and make the best decision for your situation.
