Which is affordable: fix or replace a boiler?

A community college is planning to destroy halls due to a boiler in roough shape. I don't know what the person means, but which is cheaper?

Answer:

Have some one call King Coal, Bismarck, N.D. for an estimate.
We had our boiler replaced this time final twelve months and it replaced into under that We had our previous lower back boiler from the Nineteen Seventies bumped off and the warm water tank taken out, an 2 radiators outfitted in rooms the place there have been none and thermostatic valves suited for all our present radiators and it got here to slightly under ?2500. - British gas quoted us ?4700 for a similar artwork!!
Depends on the age of the existing boiler. If it is old, components may no longer be available for that model, and would have to be specially manufactured, increasing your cost for repair. When repairing a boiler, many parts can and have been damaged during the dis assembly process, they are old and brittle, easily damaged after years, also increases the cost and time factor involved in repairs. New boiler systems have improved for energy consumption etc, but may be VERY expensive to purchase new, and they you also have to pay for qualified installers. They may be very close in cost either way.
