Is your boiler in need of replacing? Calverley Service Experts is here with a couple signals to look for when deciding whether it’s time to purchase a new boiler.
Age
If your condensing boiler receives standard maintenance, you can expect it to last about 15 years or so. Cast iron boilers can last decades, even up to 50 years with proper maintenance. If your condensing boiler is almost 15 years or your cast iron boiler is coming up on 50 years, it may be time to think about an upgrade.
Bills
If your utility bills are going up or you’re having to service your boiler more repeatedly, 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 signal that the fuel is not burning properly and could be generating carbon monoxide. If you notice these issues or have any concerns regarding carbon monoxide in your home, you should call Calverley or your gas company as soon as possible.
Comfort
If some of the sections in your home are too hot or too cold and you can’t seem to control them correctly or get them comfortable, it could be that your boiler is not effective and you may need to look into upgrade choices.
