WARNING SIGNS
Signs it’s Time to Replace Your Home’s Boiler
The boiler in your home is one of its most important components, but perhaps one of the most frustrating when it begins to age and lose efficiency. As your boiler ages and loses efficiency, it is time to consider replacing it. Some telltale signs to keep an eye out for to determine if it’s time to replace your home’s boiler are:
Age
Like anything, with time boilers will deteriorate. With proper maintenance, boilers can have a lifespan of upwards to 15 years. Once your boiler nears 15 years old or even older, and you begin to notice signs of deterioration, it is time to start thinking about a replacement.
Decreased Efficiency
Perhaps one of the more telling, if not discreet, indicators that it is time to replace your home’s boiler is a continued decrease in efficiency. What level decrease in efficiency will be tolerable is subjective to each homeowner. With a decrease in efficiency, you will notice lessened functionality from your boiler, meaning you’ll be less comfortable in your home as water will take a long time to warm up and your house won’t warm up properly. You’ll also notice an increase in cost on your energy bill, as your boiler has to work harder to heat your home and your home’s water when it is not operating at optimal efficiency.
Discoloration
Discoloration on your home’s boiler is a sign that you may need a replacement. This is a sign that fuel is not burning properly within your boiler. If you notice discoloration on your home’s boiler, call Hero Home Services today to have an expert boiler technician take a look.
Frequent Repairs Needed
A boiler that is in need of frequent maintenance or repairs is a boiler where a replacement may be wise to consider. A replacement is worth considering in this instance not only for functionality sake, but for safety and to save costs for the homeowner as well.
Leaks
A leaking boiler can be a severe inconvenience for any homeowner. A boiler that frequently leaks or needs make-up water is likely at the end of its lifespan. Replacing an outdated boiler can save homeowners repair costs from home floods as a result of boiler leaks.
