4 Signs it’s Time to Replace your Boiler
Is it time to replace your new boiler? Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning 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 receives routine maintenance, you can expect it to last 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 think about an upgrade.
Bills
If your utility bills are increasing or you’re having to maintain your boiler more repeatedly, it could be because it’s time to purchase 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 properly and could be generating carbon monoxide. If you see these issues or have any concerns regarding carbon monoxide in your home, you should call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning or your gas company straightaway.
Comfort
If some of the sections in your home are too hot or too cold 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 alternatives.
