Should you replace your boiler? Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning is here with a few signs to look for when determining whether it’s time to purchase a new boiler.
Age
If your condensing boiler receives routine maintenance, you can expect it to function about 15 years or longer. Cast iron boilers can last decades, even up to 50 years with proper maintenance. If your condensing boiler is almost 15 years or your cast iron boiler is almost 50 years, it may be time to think about an upgrade.
Bills
If your energy bills are increasing or you’re having to maintain your boiler more repeatedly, it could be because it’s time to invest in a new, more efficient boiler.
Discoloration
If you discover yellow flames on the gas burners and black soot on oil burners it could be a signal that the fuel is not burning properly and could be generating carbon monoxide. If you see these issues or have any concerns about carbon monoxide in your home, you should call Service Experts or your gas company as soon as possible.
Comfort
If some of the areas in your home are too hot or too cold and you can’t seem to control them appropriately or get them comfortable, it could be that your boiler is no longer effective and you might need to look into upgrade options.
