Western PA 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!
