Is your home stuck in the heating dark ages, clinging to an inefficient old boiler? You're not alone. Millions of UK homes still rely on these outdated systems, guzzling energy and sending your bills soaring. But there's good news! Upgrading to a modern boiler under the free can slash your heating costs, improve your home's energy rating, and even earn you a tidy cashback. Berks Insulation is a back boiler removal and replacement expert to make your warmer, greener, and more affordable home. As an industry pioneer, we can seamlessly replace your outdated boilers and unlock those coveted grant funds. Additionally, we can answer any query you have the entire way of replacement.

Why Replace Your Back Boiler?

Back boilers, typically installed behind fireplaces, lose significant heat during operation, making them less efficient compared to modern heating systems. Replacing them with a condensing boiler or a renewable energy solution, such as a heat pump, offers several benefits:

  • Energy Efficiency: Modern condensing boilers can reach efficiencies of over 90%, while air source heat pumps are up to 300% more efficient than back boilers.
  • Lower Bills: Save £300-£1,000 on annual heating bills.
  • Eco-Friendly: Reduce your home’s carbon emissions, and help the UK meet its net-zero targets by 2050.

Better Heating Control: Enjoy consistent and reliable warmth throughout your home.
