Is it time to replace your new boiler? Donelson Air Service Experts is here with some signs to look for when deciding whether it’s time to buy a new boiler.
Age
If your condensing boiler receives standard maintenance, you can expect it to operate 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 close to 15 years or your cast iron boiler is coming up on 50 years, it may be time to discuss an upgrade.
Bills
If your heating bills are rising or you’re having to service your boiler more often, it could be because it’s time to invest in 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 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 Donelson Air 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 appropriately or get them comfortable, it could be that your boiler is not effective and you might need to look into upgrade alternatives.
