4 Signs it’s Time to Replace your Boiler
Should you replace your boiler? Stevenson Service Experts is here with a few indicators to look for when choosing whether it’s time to purchase a new boiler.
Age
If your condensing boiler has routine maintenance, you can expect it to operate about 15 years or more. Cast iron boilers can last decades, even up to 50 years with proper maintenance. If your condensing boiler is close to 15 years or your cast iron boiler is getting close to 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 frequently, 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 an indicator that the fuel is not burning adequately and could be creating carbon monoxide. If you observe these issues or have any concerns surrounding 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 correctly or get them comfortable, it could be that your boiler is not effective anymore and you might need to look into upgrade options.
