4 Signs it’s Time to Replace your Boiler
Should you replace your boiler? Stevenson Service Experts is here with some signs to look for when deciding whether it’s time to invest in a new boiler.
Age
If your condensing boiler receives routine maintenance, you can expect it to operate about 15 years or more. Cast iron boilers can last even 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 consider an upgrade.
Bills
If your energy bills are rising or you’re having to call an expert about your boiler more often, it could be because it’s time to buy 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 adequately and could be generating carbon monoxide. If you notice 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 warm or too cool and you can’t seem to control them correctly or get them comfortable, it could be that your boiler is not effective and you may need to look into upgrade choices.
