4 Signs it’s Time to Replace your Boiler
Should you replace your boiler? Stevenson Service Experts is here with a couple signs to look for when choosing whether it’s time to buy a new boiler.
Age
If your condensing boiler gets 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 almost 15 years or your cast iron boiler is coming up on 50 years, it may be time to consider an upgrade.
Bills
If your utility bills are rising or you’re having to service 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 a sign that the fuel is not burning properly and could be creating 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 straightaway.
Comfort
If some of the sections in your home are too hot or too cold and you can’t seem to control them appropriately or get them comfortable, it could be that your boiler is no longer effective and you might need to look into upgrade choices.
