Is your boiler in need of replacing? Sunbeam Service Experts is here with some signals to look for when choosing whether it’s time to invest in a new boiler.
Age
If your condensing boiler has standard maintenance, you can expect it to operate about 15 years or so. Cast iron boilers can last even 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 discuss an upgrade.
Bills
If your utility bills are going up or you’re having to service your boiler more frequently, it could be because it’s time to purchase 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 creating carbon monoxide. If you observe these issues or have any concerns surrounding carbon monoxide in your home, you should call Sunbeam 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 may need to look into upgrade alternatives.
