4 Signs it’s Time to Replace your Boiler

Should you replace your boiler? A1 Chesney Service Experts is here with a few signals to look for when choosing whether it’s time to invest in a new boiler. 

Age 

If your condensing boiler gets annual maintenance, you can expect it to function about 15 years or so. Cast iron boilers can last a lot longer, even up to 50 years with proper maintenance. If your condensing boiler is coming up on 15 years or your cast iron boiler is getting close to 50 years, it may be time to discuss an upgrade. 

Bills 

If your utility bills are rising or you’re having to maintain your boiler more often, it could be because it’s time to invest in 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 adequately and could be creating carbon monoxide. If you notice these issues or have any concerns regarding carbon monoxide in your home, you should call A1 Chesney Service Experts or your gas company as soon as possible. 

Comfort 

If some of the sections in your home are too warm or too cool and you can’t seem to control them properly or get them comfortable, it could be that your boiler is not effective and you could need to look into upgrade options.
