4 Signs it's Time to Replace your Boiler

Is it time to replace your new boiler? Strand Brothers Service Experts is here with some signs to look for when deciding whether it’s time to invest in 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 decades, 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 energy bills are increasing or you’re having to call an expert about your boiler more frequently, 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 an indicator that the fuel is not burning properly and could be creating carbon monoxide. If you notice these issues or have any concerns surrounding carbon monoxide in your home, you should call Strand Brothers or your gas company straightaway.

Comfort

If some of the areas in your home are too hot or too cold and you can’t seem to control them properly or get them comfortable, it could be that your boiler is no longer effective and you might need to look into upgrade choices.
