Should you replace your boiler? Stallion Heating Plumbing Air Conditioning is here with some signals to look for when choosing whether it’s time to buy a new boiler.
Age
If your condensing boiler receives routine 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 almost 15 years or your cast iron boiler is getting close to 50 years, it may be time to discuss an upgrade.
Bills
If your heating bills are rising 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 discover yellow flames on the gas burners and black soot on oil burners it could be a sign that the fuel is not burning correctly and could be producing carbon monoxide. If you see these issues or have any concerns surrounding carbon monoxide in your home, you should call Service Experts or your gas company straightaway.
Comfort
If some of the rooms 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 could need to look into upgrade alternatives.
