New Boiler vs. Boiler Repair: What’s the Right Choice?

When a Repair Makes Sense

If your boiler is relatively new and the problem is minor, such as a faulty valve or thermostat, a repair is often the most cost-effective choice.

When to Replace

Boilers over 12–15 years old, those with rising energy bills, or systems needing constant repairs usually cost more to maintain than replace. A new, efficient boiler pays for itself over time.

Making the Right Decision

Balancing upfront costs against long-term savings is key. An expert engineer can help assess whether repair or replacement is the smarter investment for your home.
