Should you replace your boiler? Peitz Service Experts is here with a couple signs to look for when deciding whether it’s time to purchase a new boiler.
Age
If your condensing boiler gets routine maintenance, you can expect it to operate about 15 years or more. 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 getting close to 50 years, it may be time to discuss an upgrade.
Bills
If your heating bills are rising or you’re having to call an expert about your boiler more often, it could be because it’s time to buy a new, more efficient boiler.
Discoloration
If you see yellow flames on the gas burners and black soot on oil burners it could be an indicator that the fuel is not burning properly and could be producing carbon monoxide. If you see these issues or have any concerns surrounding carbon monoxide in your home, you should call Peitz or your gas company straightaway.
Comfort
If some of the sections in your home are too cool or too warm and you can’t seem to control them appropriately or get them comfortable, it could be that your boiler is no longer effective and you could need to look into upgrade choices.
