4 Signs it's Time to Replace your Boiler

Is it time to replace your new boiler? Becht/Givens Service Experts is here with a couple indicators to look for when determining whether it’s time to buy a new boiler.

Age

If your condensing boiler has routine maintenance, you can expect it to last about 15 years or more. 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 getting close to 50 years, it may be time to think about an upgrade.

Bills

If your energy bills are increasing or you’re having to service your boiler more frequently, it could be because it’s time to buy a new, more efficient boiler.

Discoloration

If you discover yellow flames on the gas burners and black soot on oil burners it could be an indicator that the fuel is not burning correctly and could be generating carbon monoxide. If you notice these issues or have any concerns about carbon monoxide in your home, you should call Becht/Givens or your gas company as soon as possible.

Comfort

If some of the areas in your home are too warm or too cool and you can’t seem to control them correctly or get them comfortable, it could be that your boiler is not effective and you could need to look into upgrade choices.
