No. Boilers and water heaters are not interchangeable because they serve different purposes. A water heater will never be able to supply warm water or steam for your central heating system. In most homes, a boiler and a water heater may be combined to provide heating and daily use of hot water. Other homes may opt for a furnace over a boiler for their heating needs.

With proper maintenance, boilers last for around 15 years on average. A cast iron boiler may last longer, over 20 years, but you should always consider the efficiency of older boilers and opt to replace an old one if it’s significantly lower than newer, high-efficiency boilers. Otherwise, you’ll be spending more on your utility bills each month.

If you want a new boiler that’s going to help lower your fuel bills, you should buy one that has a high energy-efficiency rating. For example, a boiler that is rated “A” uses at least 90% of the energy created by the boiler. And in order to enjoy the best performance, it’s important to have it installed properly by a highly-rated tech.

Common problems include leaks, low pressure, and inefficient heating. Regular maintenance prevents many issues.
