Boilers tend to last 15-25 years depending on model, use, and regular maintenance. Since they have fewer moving parts than other heating systems, they generally last a bit longer. But even the most reliable of boilers will reach their end.
Here are some common signs that it may be time to replace your boiler.
Unsatisfactory heat: If your boiler is suddenly no longer heating your home the way it once was, it's probably time to replace it. Insufficient heat typically indicates the end of a boiler's life.
Uneven temperature control over time and between rooms: If you notice that your boiler is unable to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the day, or if walking from room to room has you constantly shedding or putting on layers, it may be time to call SAC Mechanical.
Age: If your boiler has hit the 15-25 year mark, depending on how much regular maintenance it has seen, it will begin to deteriorate.
Noise: When boilers start to make noises louder or stranger than usual, that means it's time to call in professional repair services. Our HVAC professionals here at SAC Mechanical will investigate the problem and offer you their solutions, whether that be a repair or replacement.
