With the chilly temperatures of winter quickly blowing into Wadsworth, OH, you’ve already started using your heater. Your furnace or boiler is essential to keeping your home comfortable until springtime rolls back around. Therefore, you need it to work properly. There are some telltale signs that you need a new boiler.
Strange Noises
When a heater begins to malfunction, the first signs are often audible. Banging, rumbling and whistling noises are all signs of boiler problems. Depending on the noise that’s coming from your boiler and how severe the problem, there’s a chance you’ll be better off with a new system.
Increasing Repair Costs
All appliances need occasional repairs. But when those repairs become more frequent and more expensive, it’s often smart to consider a new installation. During a repair or regular maintenance visit, one of our service technicians can let you know if your boiler is nearing the end of its lifespan. When the cost of annual repairs is more than half the cost of a new system, it’s typically recommended you have a new one installed.
Diminished Efficiency
Boilers receive grades based on their energy efficiency rating. They’re typically graded between A and G.
An A-rated boiler has an energy efficiency of 90%, while a G-rated system runs closer to 70%. If your boiler is older, it probably won’t have as high a grade as a newer system. It can be a worthwhile investment to upgrade to a newer, more efficient model. By doing so, you’ll improve efficiency, maximize comfort and save money on your heating bills.
