Installing a central heating system or a boiler is one of the most lucrative home improvements in the UK. Research shows that a central heating system, new boiler and energy-saving features will add value to your home.

However, the expense of adding new flooring, a bathroom remodel, or a kitchen might outweigh the added value to your home. These tasks may increase the property's value, but the expense of the work will usually eliminate the possibility of making a profit.

Research shows that only 26% of home improvements will increase a property's value. Many homeowners could lose their home if they choose to concentrate on the wrong projects.

The research shows that the most profitable renovations are those that include a new boiler, central heating, or double glazing. These energy-saving measures add up to 4% value to your home. Contrary to this, solar panels actually decrease the value of your home by 2%.

Energy bills that are lower

Due to their high efficiency, a new condensing boiler A rating will have low running costs. A new owner will feel safe knowing that their heating bills are as low as they can be. With oil and gas prices rising, the potential savings could be substantial. According to your home's size, the Energy Saving Trust estimates that you could save as much as £580* annually by replacing an old G-rated boiler.

Peace of Mind

A quality manufacturer will often offer a 5-, 7- or 10-year warranty on a new boiler. The warranty ensures that the homeowner of the home won't be charged for unexpected repairs if the boiler needs to be repaired. A boiler that could fail at any moment is an issue to be worried about when buying a house.

Convenience and luxury

Many modern boilers can be connected to smart thermostats. They can also be controlled remotely from a smartphone or tablet using an app. An internet connection allows the new owner to remotely monitor and control his heating system from anywhere in the world. They can either turn the heating on as soon as they get home to warm the house, or delay the automatic timer to the office to save energy.

Smart thermostats

Smart TRVs (Thermostatic Radiator Valve) can also be installed to adjust the temperature in each room to turn your radiators off. Perhaps they prefer a cool bedroom or a warmer bathroom. This type of convenience and luxury can be the cherry on top.

There are many ways to increase the house's value

A new boiler isn't the only way to increase your home's value when you sell it. These are just a few of the other upgrades, renovations and improvements you should consider.

Energy Savings Measures to Improve
