Boiler Installation Near Vancouver, BC

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

Corrosion is typically a dead giveaway that it is time to have your boiler replaced. 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. Having yearly maintenance performed is the best way to help prevent this and prolong the lifespan of your boiler system. If you are seeing any corrosion at all on your boiler, you are best off replacing the entire system all together.

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

Once your boiler no longer working as efficiently as it has in the past, you may want to start considering replacing it. If your boiler is needing more fuel than in the past to run efficiently, this is a good indicator that it may be nearing the end of its life. Additionally, newer models of boilers are generally more energy efficient than those of the past, which can help you save on your monthly utility bills.

When a boiler is beginning to fail, it will make a variety of foreign noises that you have never heard before. If you hear any type of clanging or banging noises, you should call for help right away. Banging or clanging noises are usually a result of a blockage, leak, or pressure issue within the system. If you hear odd noises from your boiler, call us to have it inspected and at minimum, repaired. It is still recommended to seriously consider replacing the unit entirely in this situation.

A major sign that your home’s boiler system will need to be replaced soon is if it is not heating your home correctly. If you notice inconsistent temperatures around your home, such as one room being drastically warmer or cooler than the others, your boiler’s controls are failing (meaning the boiler will fail indefinitely very soon). In which case, you will need to have your system replaced.
