  • How often should one replace a combi gas boiler? I know it's not a fixed time, just to get a sense of it. I inherited mine with the house so it's at least 7 years old and probably quite a bit older.

  • When it's costing you £3-400 to repair it.

  • I replaced mine when the repair cost came to half the price of a new one. Expensive repair with no guarantee of long-term fix/stability or a new boiler with a 10yr guarantee made it an easy decision.

    Have you had it regularly serviced? Have bills/fuel consumption increased recently relative to previous years?

  • In my old place the boiler was there for 11 years after I moved in, don't know how long before I moved in but a few years I reckon.

    Had one repair in that time and still going strong when I moved out.

  • They say the life of a boiler is about 10 ish years thats what we tell customers. 10-12 years ish but honestly just your luck.

  • How often should one replace a combi gas boiler?

    If it's working, don't bother. If it isn't working and can't be economically repaired, replace it.
