4 Signs it’s Time to Replace your Boiler
Should you replace your boiler? Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning is here with a couple signals to look for when choosing whether it’s time to purchase a new boiler.
Age
If your condensing boiler gets annual maintenance, you can expect it to operate about 15 years or so. 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 coming up on 50 years, it may be time to consider an upgrade.
Bills
If your energy bills are going up or you’re having to service your boiler more frequently, it could be because it’s time to purchase a new, more efficient boiler.
Discoloration
If you discover 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 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 properly or get them comfortable, it could be that your boiler is not effective anymore and you could need to look into upgrade options.
