Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Boiler with a New System

There are many factors to consider when replacing your boiler system with a new one. When deciding whether or not to replace your current boiler, consider the following:

Age: One of the biggest factors to consider when replacing a boiler system, is its age. Most boilers will last for around fifteen to twenty-five years. If you are needing constant repairs and your boiler is nearing the end of its lifespan, rather than spending significantly more money, more frequently, trying to repair your current boiler system, consider replacing it all together. This will save you money in the long run as continuously spending to repair a boiler nearing the end of its life is likely wasteful considering the system will likely fail very soon.

Corrosion: Corrosion is typically a dead giveaway that it is time to have Apollo Heating Cooling and Plumbing replace your boiler. Corrosion occurs on your boiler when valves break and leaks occur allowing air to corrode the boiler. Additionally, the reaction between the boiler’s heat exchanger and burners can cause corrosion as well. Having Apollo Heating Cooling and Plumbing perform yearly maintenance on your boiler system is the best way to help prevent this and prolong the lifespan of your boiler system, but if you are seeing any corrosion at all on your boiler, you are best off replacing the entire system all together.

Frequent, Expensive Repairs: Generally speaking, if you find your boiler needing more and more frequent repairs, that are costing more and more money each time, your system is probably nearing the end of its lifespan, and rather than waste money on repairs, it is a good idea to invest in a new boiler installation all together.

Reduced Efficiency: Once you begin to notice your boiler not working as efficiently as it has in the past, you may want to start considering replacing it. If your boiler is needing more fuel than in the past to run efficiently, this is a good indicator that it may be nearing the end of its life. Additionally, newer models of boilers are generally more energy efficient than those of the past, which can help you save on your monthly utility bills.

Unfamiliar Noises: When your boiler is beginning to fail, it will likely make a variety of forgien noises that you have never heard before. If you hear any type of clanging or banging noises, you should call Apollo Heating Cooling and Plumbing right away. Banging or clanging noises are usually a result of a blockage, leak, pressure issue, or other problem within the system. If you hear odd noises from your boiler, call Apollo Heating Cooling and Plumbing to have it inspected and at the minimum repaired. It is still recommended in this situation to seriously consider replacing the unit all together though.

Leaking: Leaking from your boiler system is never a good sign! But don’t stress!

Inconsistent Temperatures: A major sign that your Kent, OH home’s boiler system will likely need to be replaced soon is if it is not heating your home correctly.
