Do you have reasons to believe the boiler warming your home this winter is coming to the end of its long road? Not a pleasant realization to have, since replacing a boiler is a big investment. But if your current boiler isn’t going to last much longer or is costing you a small fortune to continue running, acting fast to replace it will reward you for many years.
Let’s talk about why you think your boiler needs to retire to the recycling center. There are a number of signs you may have already noticed, as well as others to watch out for.
Any heating system installed in a home is supposed to keep up with cold weather, no matter how far the outdoor thermometer drops. That is the baseline expectation for this type of equipment, and professional installers look for units to match the heat requirements for a house and which can deal with the coldest days and nights.
The question in the title is another way of asking if it’s time for you to have a new boiler installed in your house. For any residential heating system, the day will come—usually during the spring when it’s about to shut down—when the heater should be replaced by professionals.
