Top 5 Signs You Need a New Boiler (Chorley, Preston, Leyland & Southport)
If your home isn’t heating up like it used to or your energy bills are soaring you might be dealing with a tired, outdated boiler. Whether you live in Chorley, Preston, Leyland, or Southport, a modern, energy efficient boiler could make a huge difference in comfort and cost.
Here are the top 5 signs it’s time to replace your boiler and how Croston Plumbing & Heating Ltd can help.
1. Rising Energy Bills
An inefficient boiler burns more fuel to provide the same heat. If you’ve noticed a steady increase in your gas or electric bill, your boiler could be to blame. Upgrading to a new A-rated boiler can save up to £580 a year on energy costs.
Local Tip: If you live in an older property around Chorley, Preston, Leyland or Southport, your boiler could be working overtime.
2. Frequent Breakdowns or Repairs
If you’ve called a heating engineer more than once in the last year, your boiler is becoming unreliable and expensive. Continual repairs often cost more in the long run than a full boiler replacement.
Solution: CPH offers expert boiler installation in Leyland, Preston, and beyond with trusted brands and full warranties.
3. Uneven Heating or Cold Radiators
Are some rooms warmer than others? Do your radiators take ages to heat up or never get fully hot? These are clear signs your boiler isn’t circulating hot water properly.
We also offer powerflushing to clear blocked pipes before recommending a replacement.
4. Strange Noises: Banging, Gurgling or Whistling
Old or faulty boilers often make strange sounds caused by issues like limescale, airlocks, or pump failure. If your boiler sounds more like a kettle than a heater, it’s time to get it checked.
5. It’s Over 10–15 Years Old
Boilers don’t last forever. If yours is over 10–15 years old, it likely lacks modern safety features and efficiency standards. Even if it’s working, it may be costing you far more to run than necessary.
Bonus: Newer boilers are compact, quieter, and offer smart thermostat compatibility.
