the Bay Area Boiler Installation

One of the biggest factors to consider when replacing your boiler is its age. Most boilers will last around 15 to 25 years. If you need constant repairs and your boiler is nearing the end of its lifespan, consider replacing it altogether. This will save you money in the long run as continuously repairing an older boiler is wasteful considering the system will likely fail soon anyways.

Corrosion is typically a dead giveaway that it’s time to replace your boiler. Corrosion occurs 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. Performing yearly maintenance is the best way to prevent this and prolong the lifespan of your system. If you see any corrosion on your boiler, it’s time to schedule a replacement with our team!

Generally speaking, if your boiler requires frequent repairs that are costing more and more money each time… it’s time to pull the plug and invest in a new system.

Once your boiler no longer works as efficiently as it once did, you may want to consider replacing it. If your boiler needs more fuel than in the past to run efficiently, this is a good indicator that it’s nearing the end of its life. Additionally, newer boiler models are generally more energy efficient than those of the past, which can help you save on your monthly utility bills!

When your boiler starts to fail, it will make a variety of foreign noises that you’ve probably never heard before. If you hear any type of clanging or banging noises, you should call us for help right away. These loud noises are usually a result of a blockage, leak, or pressure issue within the system.

Leaking from your boiler system is never a good sign. But don’t stress! Lean on our experienced professionals for help. Your boiler is probably beginning to fail and can actually cause catastrophic events like flooding, if neglected. As a rule of thumb, a leaking boiler means it’s time for a replacement!

A major sign that your boiler system should be replaced soon is improper heating. If you notice inconsistent temperatures throughout your home, such as one room being drastically warmer or cooler than another, the boiler’s controls are failing. In which case, you will need to have your system replaced.
