4 Signs it’s Time to Replace your Boiler
Is it time to replace your new boiler? Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing is here with a couple signs to look for when determining whether it’s time to invest in a new boiler.
Age
If your condensing boiler has standard maintenance, you can expect it to function 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 coming up on 15 years or your cast iron boiler is getting close to 50 years, it may be time to consider an upgrade.
Bills
If your energy bills are rising or you’re having to maintain your boiler more frequently, it could be because it’s time to buy a new, more efficient boiler.
Discoloration
If you notice yellow flames on the gas burners and black soot on oil burners it could be an indicator that the fuel is not burning properly and could be producing carbon monoxide. If you observe these issues or have any concerns about carbon monoxide in your home, you should call Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing or your gas company immediately.
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 not effective and you may need to look into upgrade alternatives.
