Should you replace your boiler? A1 Chesney Service Experts is here with some signals to look for when choosing whether it’s time to purchase a new boiler.
Age
If your condensing boiler has standard maintenance, you can expect it to function 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 close to 15 years or your cast iron boiler is getting close to 50 years, it may be time to consider an upgrade.
Bills
If your heating bills are rising or you’re having to maintain your boiler more repeatedly, 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 properly and could be creating carbon monoxide. If you see these issues or have any concerns surrounding carbon monoxide in your home, you should call A1 Chesney or your gas company immediately.
Comfort
If some of the sections in your home are too hot or too cold and you can’t seem to control them correctly or get them comfortable, it could be that your boiler is not effective and you might need to look into upgrade options.
