Is it time to replace your new boiler? Norrell Service Experts is here with a few indicators to look for when deciding whether it’s time to purchase a new boiler.
Age
If your condensing boiler receives annual maintenance, you can expect it to operate about 15 years or longer. Cast iron boilers can last even longer, even up to 50 years with proper maintenance. If your condensing boiler is close to 15 years or your cast iron boiler is almost 50 years, it may be time to think about an upgrade.
Bills
If your heating bills are rising or you’re having to call an expert about your boiler more frequently, it could be because it’s time to purchase a new, more efficient boiler.
Discoloration
If you discover yellow flames on the gas burners and black soot on oil burners it could be a sign that the fuel is not burning properly and could be creating carbon monoxide. If you notice these issues or have any concerns about carbon monoxide in your home, you should call Norrell or your gas company straightaway.
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 no longer effective and you may need to look into upgrade options.
