Should you replace your boiler? Matz-Rightway is here with some signs to look for when deciding whether it’s time to buy a new boiler.
Age
If your condensing boiler gets routine maintenance, you can expect it to last 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 almost 15 years or your cast iron boiler is coming up on 50 years, it may be time to consider an upgrade.
Bills
If your utility bills are going up or you’re having to call an expert about your boiler more often, it could be because it’s time to purchase a new, more efficient boiler.
Discoloration
If you notice 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 producing carbon monoxide. If you observe these issues or have any concerns regarding carbon monoxide in your home, you should call Service Experts or your gas company straightaway.
Comfort
If some of the sections in your home are too cool or too warm and you can’t seem to control them appropriately or get them comfortable, it could be that your boiler is not effective and you may need to look into upgrade choices.
