Energy Efficiency Ratings
Energy efficiency ratings play a significant role in determining boiler replacement costs. These ratings, often expressed in terms of star ratings or percentages, highlight a boiler's capacity to convert fuel into usable heat. High-efficiency boilers typically carry an Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) of 90% or more, meaning they use a greater portion of the fuel they consume. Investing in a boiler with a higher rating can lead to substantial savings on energy bills over time, although the initial outlay may be higher.
