Boiler Replacement

Types of Boilers

At B.I.M.S., Inc., we specialize in a variety of boilers to suit every client’s needs. Understanding the different types can help you make an informed decision when considering a boiler replacement.

Gas Boilers

Gas boilers are popular due to their efficiency and relative cost-effectiveness. They use natural gas to heat water, providing central heating through radiators and hot water to taps.

Oil Boilers

For locations without access to natural gas, oil boilers are an alternative. They operate similarly to gas boilers but use oil as the fuel source, which can be more expensive.

Electric Boilers

Electric boilers are an eco-friendly option, using electricity to heat water. They are typically smaller and quieter but can be more expensive to operate due to electricity prices.

Age of the Boiler

Most boilers have a lifespan of 10-15 years. Older models may not only be less efficient but also pose safety risks.

Increasing Energy Bills

If your energy bills are consistently rising, it might indicate that your boiler is losing efficiency.

Strange Noises or Leaks

Kettling, banging, or whistling sounds, as well as any signs of leakage, are clear indicators that your boiler needs attention.
