Is your boiler in need of replacing? Robinson Service Experts is here with a few signals to look for when deciding whether it’s time to invest in a new boiler.
Age
If your condensing boiler receives routine maintenance, you can expect it to function about 15 years or longer. Cast iron boilers can last even longer, even up to 50 years with proper maintenance. If your condensing boiler is close to 15 years or your cast iron boiler is coming up on 50 years, it may be time to discuss an upgrade.
Bills
If your utility bills are going up or you’re having to service your boiler more frequently, it could be because it’s time to invest in a new, more efficient boiler.
Discoloration
If you discover yellow flames on the gas burners and black soot on oil burners it could be a signal that the fuel is not burning correctly and could be creating carbon monoxide. If you notice these issues or have any concerns about carbon monoxide in your home, you should call Robinson Service Experts or your gas company immediately.
Comfort
If some of the areas in your home are too hot or too cold and you can’t seem to control them properly or get them comfortable, it could be that your boiler is no longer effective and you might need to look into upgrade alternatives.
