4 Signs it’s Time to Replace your Boiler
Should you replace your boiler? Stevenson Service Experts is here with a few signals to look for when choosing whether it’s time to purchase a new boiler.
Age
If your condensing boiler receives standard maintenance, you can expect it to last 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 almost 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 going up or you’re having to call an expert about your boiler more repeatedly, 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 signal that the fuel is not burning correctly and could be producing carbon monoxide. If you observe these issues or have any concerns regarding carbon monoxide in your home, you should call Stevenson 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 properly or get them comfortable, it could be that your boiler is no longer effective and you may need to look into upgrade options.
