Signs That Indicate A Boiler Replacement

One of the best ways to care for your heating system is by scheduling regular maintenance for it. Heaters require an annual tune-up, preferably in the fall, right before the heating season begins. Professional maintenance helps increase your boiler lifespan because maintenance ensures that your system doesn’t have to work so hard.

Boilers can last 15 or more years. However, all systems have a lifespan, and inevitably, all boilers become old and outdated. Homeowners should be aware of some tell-tale signs that indicate the need for a boiler replacement.

Age: As mentioned above, boilers can last 15 or more years. With proper maintenance, you can increase the lifespan of your boiler. All experts will agree that an improperly maintained system will not last as long. However, if your boiler is reaching the 15 year mark, then it may be time to start saving for a new one.

Home Heating Costs: If you notice that your energy bills seem to be increasing for no logical explanation, then your boiler may need to be replaced. As a system ages, it loses its efficiency. Therefore, it is not worth paying astronomical energy bills when you can save money on heating costs by investing in a new one. It is actually costing you more to continue using an old one than to replace it with a more modern, energy efficient model.

Repairs: If you find yourself frequently resetting or needing to top up the pressure in your boiler, then it may be time to replace it. A boiler that requires constant repairs is one that should be replaced.

You are spending too much on repairs instead of investing your hard earned money on one that functions properly. Although a new boiler is a significant initial investment, the cost of one boiler repair after another, only to be left with the same malfunctioning boiler, is frustrating and expensive.

Discoloration: When a gas boiler has a yellow flame or an oil boiler has black soot, this is an indicator that the fuel is not burning the way that it should. If you ever notice this, be sure to contact Skylands Energy immediately. Regardless of what type of heating system you have, it is wise to have carbon monoxide detectors in your home.

Leaking Issues: When a boiler leaks or requires additional water, this is a sign that a replacement is near. Replacing a leaking boiler is a great way to prevent property damage caused by a flood or other issues that are associated with a leaky boiler.

Comfort Issues: One of the most obvious signs for the need of a boiler upgrade is decreasing comfort levels. You will notice that some rooms feel too hot, while others feel too cold.

Strange Noises: Whenever you notice that your boiler is making noises that you have not heard before, it is time to call in a professional. There are many reasons for a noisy boiler, however, only a professional will be able to properly diagnose what is causing them. In some cases, unusual noises indicates the need for a boiler replacement.
