Is it time to replace your new boiler? Roy Inch & Sons Home Services by Enercare is here with a couple signs to look for when determining whether it’s time to buy a new boiler.
Age
If your condensing boiler has routine maintenance, you can expect it to last about 15 years or longer. 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 coming up on 50 years, it may be time to discuss an upgrade.
Bills
If your utility bills are going up or you’re having to maintain your boiler more often, it could be because it’s time to buy a new, more efficient boiler.
Discoloration
If you see yellow flames on the gas burners and black soot on oil burners it could be an indicator that the fuel is not burning correctly and could be generating carbon monoxide. If you observe these issues or have any concerns surrounding carbon monoxide in your home, you should call Roy Inch & Sons 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 not effective anymore and you might need to look into upgrade options.
