Is your boiler in need of replacing? Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning is here with a few signs to look for when choosing whether it’s time to invest in a new boiler.
Age
If your condensing boiler receives standard maintenance, you can expect it to function about 15 years or so. Cast iron boilers can last decades, even up to 50 years with proper maintenance. If your condensing boiler is almost 15 years or your cast iron boiler is almost 50 years, it may be time to discuss an upgrade.
Bills
If your utility bills are going up or you’re having to call an expert about your boiler more often, it could be because it’s time to purchase a new, more efficient boiler.
Discoloration
If you notice 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 creating carbon monoxide. If you notice these issues or have any concerns surrounding carbon monoxide in your home, you should call Service Experts or your gas company immediately.
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 no longer effective and you could need to look into upgrade options.
