4 Signs it’s Time to Replace your Boiler
Is your boiler in need of replacing? Stevenson Service Experts is here with a couple indicators to look for when choosing whether it’s time to invest in a new boiler.
Age
If your condensing boiler receives annual maintenance, you can expect it to operate about 15 years or longer. 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 coming up on 50 years, it may be time to think about an upgrade.
Bills
If your energy bills are increasing or you’re having to call an expert about your boiler more often, it could be because it’s time to invest in a new, more efficient boiler.
Discoloration
If you notice 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 about carbon monoxide in your home, you should call Stevenson Service Experts or your gas company immediately.
Comfort
If some of the sections 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 no longer effective and you may need to look into upgrade alternatives.
