How to choose the right boiler for your home
When choosing a new boiler for your home, as well as energy efficiency, there are a few other things you should take into consideration: Capacity is important as it determines the amount of hot water and heat that your boiler can produce, so you’ll need to think about the size of your home and the demand you will put on the boiler. Also, pay attention to the warranty offered, as warranties can range from 5-12 years depending on the make and model – warranties are often extended when the boiler is installed by brand-accredited engineers such as Prime Time Boilers. Finally, consider the boiler’s connectivity; it is becoming increasingly common for boilers to come with integrated wireless technology allowing your heating to be controlled by a smartphone. If you are considering a smart home, it could be worth choosing an option with this functionality already built in.
