4 Signs it’s Time to Replace your Boiler
Should you replace your boiler? Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning is here with some signals to look for when determining whether it’s time to purchase a new boiler.
Age
If your condensing boiler gets standard maintenance, you can expect it to operate about 15 years or more. Cast iron boilers can last a lot longer, even up to 50 years with proper maintenance. If your condensing boiler is close to 15 years or your cast iron boiler is getting close to 50 years, it may be time to consider an upgrade.
Bills
If your utility bills are going up or you’re having to maintain your boiler more often, it could be because it’s time to invest in a new, more efficient boiler.
Discoloration
If you see yellow flames on the gas burners and black soot on oil burners it could be a sign that the fuel is not burning adequately and could be producing carbon monoxide. If you notice these issues or have any concerns surrounding carbon monoxide in your home, you should call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning or your gas company straightaway.
Comfort
If some of the areas in your home are too cool or too warm and you can’t seem to control them correctly or get them comfortable, it could be that your boiler is not effective and you might need to look into upgrade choices.
