4 Signs it’s Time to Replace your Boiler

Should you replace your boiler? Enercare Rob's Albertan is here with a couple signals to look for when determining whether it’s time to invest in a new boiler. 

Age 

If your condensing boiler gets annual maintenance, you can expect it to function about 15 years or more. 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 getting close to 50 years, it may be time to discuss an upgrade. 

Bills 

If your heating bills are increasing or you’re having to call an expert about your boiler more frequently, 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 a sign that the fuel is not burning properly and could be producing carbon monoxide. If you see these issues or have any concerns about carbon monoxide in your home, you should call Enercare Rob's Albertan or your gas company immediately. 

Comfort 

If some of the areas in your home are too cool or too warm and you can’t seem to control them correctly or get them comfortable, it could be that your boiler is not effective anymore and you could need to look into upgrade choices.
