You can only rely on your boiler to be as efficient as\npossible if you properly care for it, right? This starts with professional\ninstallation, continues on with calling for repairs when needed, and then also\nincludes making sure you stay on top of your annual boiler maintenance services\nfrom our professionals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, it\u2019s also important that you remember no matter\nhow well you care for your boiler, you\u2019ll eventually need repairs of some <\/em>kind. Also, you have to know that\neventually, the boiler will reach the end of its lifespan and you\u2019ll need a\nreplacement system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how do you know when it\u2019s time for the latter? Are there\nsigns to watch out for? Yes, there are! Read on to learn about them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Your Boiler Is Old<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The standard boiler, when properly maintained, can last about 15 years. Even if yours has not quite reached this age, it\u2019s worth looking into upgrading your boiler if you\u2019re experiencing any problems with a system that\u2019s 10 years old or older. In fact, even in the last five <\/em>years, these heating systems have become much more efficient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your boiler is in fact 15 years old, it\u2019s more than\nlikely going to start breaking down, if it hasn\u2019t started already. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Unfamiliar or unpleasant smells should never be ignored when\nthey\u2019re coming from your heating system, no matter what <\/em>type of heating system you have, but especially from your\nboiler. It could be the sign of a gas leak, which needs to be addressed ASAP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it\u2019s not a gas leak, it could still indicate a problem\nwith the ventilation system, which is a problem in its own right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You See or Suspect a Leak<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Leaks from any part of your plumbing system or home shouldn\u2019t be ignored under any circumstance, and your boiler is no exception. Leaks create significant property damage if given enough time to progress, plus a boiler leak indicates something might have gone wrong inside the system. Lastly, leaks mean your boiler can\u2019t possibly operate as efficiently as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temperature Issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your water is usually colder or hotter than what the\ntemperature is meant to be, then you may have a problem with your boiler!\nWhat\u2019s likely happening is that the water isn\u2019t circulating like it should be,\nand this means your boiler can\u2019t consistently heat your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Your energy bills are going to rise no matter what in the winter.\nBut if they are considerably higher than what they were last year, or much\nhigher than what your neighbors are paying for similar use, then you likely\nhave a boiler that isn\u2019t performing as efficiently as it once did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frequent Repair Needs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you find yourself calling for boiler repairs a few times a year? It\u2019s normal for a boiler to need a repair here or there. But if you\u2019re calling for repairs this often, it\u2019s going to quickly become too expensive to maintain your boiler. Generally speaking, if your next repair need or set of repairs will cost over half of what the system is worth, it simply makes more financial sense in the long run to upgrade now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
