4 Signs it's Time to Replace your Boiler

Is your boiler in need of replacing? Midway Services is here with some signals to look for when deciding whether it’s time to invest in a new boiler.

Age

If your condensing boiler gets routine maintenance, you can expect it to function about 15 years or longer. Cast iron boilers can last a lot longer, even up to 50 years with proper maintenance. If your condensing boiler is close to 15 years or your cast iron boiler is almost 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 repeatedly, 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 signal that the fuel is not burning adequately and could be generating carbon monoxide. If you see these issues or have any concerns regarding carbon monoxide in your home, you should call Midway Services or your gas company immediately.

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 and you could need to look into upgrade choices.
