Why Install a New Boiler in Edinburgh?
Edinburgh’s chilly winters (avg. 3-5°C) demand reliable heat. A new boiler:
-
Saves Cash:
Upgrading from a G-rated to A-rated cuts bills by £300–£400/year (Energy Saving Trust).
-
Boosts Efficiency:
92–94% vs. old 70% models—less gas, more warmth.
-
Avoids Breakdowns:
Repairs (£120–£750) dwarf £120 + VAT* servicing.
-
Warranty Win:
Worcester Bosch 12-year coverage (on premium models like the Greenstar 8000 range) needs annual checks along with a system filter. Other models can get up to 10 years.
Landlords? Scottish regs mandate 88%+ efficiency—new installs nail it.
