A boiler system can only work as efficiently and effectively as it is meant to if it is properly cared for. This means it needs to be professionally installed and serviced by trained and experienced HVAC technicians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of these services is maintenance\u2014yearly maintenance will help keep your boiler performing at its best and save you money in repair costs, among other benefits. Of course, even the most well-cared-for boiler may still have repair needs and eventually will succumb to age. What\u2019s important for you to know is how to spot signs of a boiler in distress. We\u2019ve covered the most important signs below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Age<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The standard boiler system, when properly maintained, can\nlast about 15 years. Even if yours hasn\u2019t quite reached this age, it\u2019s worth\nconsidering an upgrade, since even in the last 5 years boilers have been\nmanufactured to be far more efficient. If your boiler is <\/em>15 years old or older then it\u2019s likely it will start showing\nsigns of distress soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foul Odors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course, your boiler doesn\u2019t have to be old to have symptoms of repair needs. Something like unfamiliar or unpleasant smells coming from the system can affect a boiler at any age, and it\u2019s a sign that should never be ignored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bad smells can be indicative of a gas leak\u2014particularly if\nthat smell resembles rotten eggs. This needs to be taken care of as soon as\npossible upon discovery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you aren\u2019t dealing with a gas leak, bad smells may\nbe the result of a problem with your ventilation system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A leak is something that should certainly never be ignored\nwhen it comes to your boiler. Not only can this create property damage in your\nhome, but it can be a sign of something going wrong inside your boiler. Plus,\nleakage will lead to boiler inefficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temperature Troubles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you notice your water is typically colder or hotter than what the temperature is supposed <\/em>to be, then you could certainly have a problem with your boiler. The water is likely not circulating as it should be, which means your boiler can\u2019t possibly heat your home consistently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Higher Than Average Utility Bills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course, your energy bills will rise the more you use your\nheating system over the winter months. But if your bills are significantly\nhigher than what they were last year, or compared to what your neighbors are\npaying for comparable use, then you likely have a boiler that\u2019s not performing\nas efficiently and effectively as it once was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat If I Have Frequent Repair Needs?\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The above-mentioned boiler problems might all be resolvable with repairs, and you should certainly call a pro if you do discover you have repair needs. However, if you find you are making calls like this a couple of times a year or more, and you have an aging boiler, it is probably time to consider an upgrade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new boiler system might seem like a big investment, but so\ntoo is the mounting cost of repairs you\u2019ll see if you keep trying to fix a\nfailing system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
