Gas boiler technology has advanced rapidly in recent years, with big gains both in efficiency and in cleaning up exhaust emissions. So if you would like to run a greener household and save on running costs at the same time, then replacing an ageing boiler is a good way to do it. Modern condensing gas boilers can operate at over 90% efficiency, compared to as little as 50% efficiency for some older boilers that are still in use in the UK.
If your boiler is over 15 years old it's probably time to replace it. By law, new gas boilers in England and Wales must now be of the high efficiency condensing type, which can help you save up to a third on your heating bills and even more if you upgrade to modern controls as well (source: Energy Saving Trust).
