Question 5

Is it worth repairing my old boiler or should I replace it?

Accepted Answer

As a rough guide, if your boiler is over 12 to 15 years old and repair costs exceed a third of the cost of a new installation, replacement is usually more economical in the long run. On Tap Plumbing and Gas will always give you an honest assessment and will never recommend repair or replacement based on anything other than what is best for you.

Question 6

Can you repair a boiler that is making a loud banging or kettling noise?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kettling, banging or rumbling sounds from a boiler are typically caused by limescale or sludge build-up in the heat exchanger. On Tap Plumbing and Gas can diagnose the cause and carry out a powerflush or targeted heat exchanger clean to resolve the issue. This is common in Somerset's harder water areas.
