Is your boiler in need of replacing? Comfort Masters Service Experts is here with some signs to look for when choosing whether it’s time to purchase a new boiler.
Age
If your condensing boiler gets annual maintenance, you can expect it to operate 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 coming up on 15 years or your cast iron boiler is coming up on 50 years, it may be time to consider an upgrade.
Bills
If your energy bills are increasing or you’re having to maintain your boiler more often, 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 adequately and could be generating carbon monoxide. If you notice these issues or have any concerns about carbon monoxide in your home, you should call Comfort Masters or your gas company as soon as possible.
Comfort
If some of the areas in your home are too cool or too warm and you can’t seem to control them properly or get them comfortable, it could be that your boiler is not effective and you could need to look into upgrade options.
