Your boiler is one of your home’s most critical components, but perhaps the most frustrating when beginning to age and lose efficiency! As your boiler does start to age, it is time to start considering replacing it. Some telltale signs that it’s time to install a new boiler system are:
Like anything else, with time, boilers begin to deteriorate. With the proper maintenance, boilers have a lifespan of upwards of 15 years. Once your boiler begins nearing 15 years of age or older and you start noticing signs of deterioration, it’s time to replace it altogether.
Perhaps one of the more telling, if not discreet, indicators that it’s time for a boiler replacement is a continued decrease in efficiency. What level decrease in efficiency will be tolerable is subjective to each homeowner. With decreased efficiency, you will notice lessened functionality; meaning you’ll be less comfortable in your home as your water and air supply take longer and longer to warm up. You may also notice an increase on your energy bills as your boiler is forced to work harder.
Discoloration on your boiler is a major sign that it’s time for a replacement. Discoloration typically signals that the fuel is not burning properly within your boiler.
A boiler that requires frequent repairs is a boiler that should be replaced! A total replacement is worth considering in this instance not only for functionality’s sake, but also for safety reasons. Plus, you’ll save on energy costs in the end as well!
A leaking boiler can be an annoyance and severe inconvenience for any homeowner. Unfortunately, if your boiler frequently leaks or needs make-up water, it is likely at the end of its lifespan. It’s important to consider that replacing an outdated boiler can actually save you on major restoration costs caused from boiler leak floods.
