How to choose the Best Boiler Brand for you

It’s best to consider several heating requirements when it comes to choosing the best boiler brand to keep your home warm.

Boiler Warranty

Boiler warranties are very important to inspect before committing to a purchase, as a longer warranty is usually a hallmark of the brand’s confidence in the quality of their product and its robustness.

Most big brands offer 10+ years of warranty on their boilers, meaning you can trust their engineering and the fact they are obliged to help you out if any relevant issues arise.

Independent Reviews

Consumer review sites such as Trustpilot or Yelp are often a good place to carry out due diligence before jumping in both feet first for an appliance you could have for over a decade.

Look for verified or unsolicited reviews, as these often provide the most accurate feedback on a company’s performance and products.

Customer Service

Another key indicator of brand’s reliability and their product longevity is the reputation and responsiveness of their customer service outlets. This boosts customer confidence that a boiler brand is with you every step of the way should issues occur.

A brand with no emphasis on customer experience or after care support is usually a red flag that translates to a company who are only interested in fobbing you off after taking your hard earned money.

Costs (Short term and Long term)

When purchasing top boilers, often it can be financially savvy to look beyond the initial outgoing fee, as the best boilers on the market will in time start to pay for themselves in reduced energy bills due to their superior efficiency.

Energy savings, especially these days, can quickly mount up and begin to make a new, efficient boiler look like a very smart investment.

It’s always better to buy a good boiler from a trusted and celebrated brand rather than cut corners and purchase a ‘budget’ option from a less reputable brand, as this could lead to a  more unsatisfactory heating performance and increased maintenance costs.

Summary

Choosing the best brand of boiler for your home is an important decision that could affect the comfort of you and your family (especially in the colder months) for years to come.

iHeat only stocks trusted and reputable brands, including Vaillant, Worcester Bosch, Alpha, Ideal and Viessmann.
