Is your boiler in need of replacing? San Antonio Air Service Experts is here with some indicators to look for when choosing whether it’s time to buy a new boiler.
Age
If your condensing boiler has routine maintenance, you can expect it to operate about 15 years or so. Cast iron boilers can last a lot longer, even up to 50 years with proper maintenance. If your condensing boiler is almost 15 years or your cast iron boiler is coming up on 50 years, it may be time to think about an upgrade.
Bills
If your energy bills are increasing or you’re having to service your boiler more often, it could be because it’s time to buy 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 see these issues or have any concerns about carbon monoxide in your home, you should call San Antonio Air Service Experts or your gas company as soon as possible.
Comfort
If some of the areas 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 anymore and you may need to look into upgrade choices.
