Answer

Replacement is not automatically the right answer just because a boiler is old. If the fault is clear, parts remain available and the appliance has otherwise been reliable, a repair can be the sensible lower-cost option. Replacement becomes more attractive when breakdowns are repeating, important components are becoming difficult to source, the boiler is poorly matched to the property or the wider system needs significant improvement.

For a Glasgow homeowner, compare the cost and likely life of the repair with the total cost of a properly specified replacement. Also consider the condition of controls, radiators and pipework rather than assuming a new appliance alone will solve every heating problem.

Doherty's boiler service covers repairs as well as replacement, so the system can be diagnosed before a decision is made. That is a better approach than replacing a boiler without first confirming what has actually failed.
