A new analysis of historical boiler repair and replace decisions has revealed which make of boiler costs the least to repair.
Collaborating with the University of Surrey through a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) is allowing Sustainable Homes to draw upon knowledge and expertise that it would not otherwise have access to.
For each home, the repairs costs were predicted for the next 6 years. If the total of these costs added up to £1,500 or more, it was deemed it cheaper to replace the boiler in the event of a breakdown, instead of repair.
The real benefit in this study, came from step 2 of the process, which was to prepare the data into an analysable form. This made it easy to see which model of boiler cost the least to repair in the last 14 years.
