How to Tell You Need to Replace Your Old Boiler

Monday, February 27th, 2023

We’ve got good news about your home’s boiler! If you take good care of it, scheduling annual maintenance and prompt repairs as necessary, you can expect your boiler to outlast most other heating systems. Where gas furnaces and heat pumps usually last for about 15 years, boilers can last for over 20 and may even reach 30 years of effective service. This is one of the reasons people still invest in boilers for home heating: they provide an excellent return on investment.

But no boiler can last forever, and it’s better for you to recognize early signs that your home’s boiler is reaching the end of its lifespan. You don’t want to get trapped with a dead boiler in the middle of the winter, nor do you want to spend extra money to keep a boiler going when it should’ve gone to the recycling yard years earlier. 

We’ll help you with our expert knowledge about boiler and water heater replacement in Rocky Mount, VA to detect the indications you need to replace your boiler.

Houses-Cold-Hot

The point of having a central heating system is to deliver heat to the entire home (or at least the living spaces). When you turn on your furnace or heat pump during a cold winter day, you expect to have heated air flow evenly to all the rooms. There may be some temperature differences from place to place, but there should be a general “comfort consensus.” 

However, you might be dealing with a heating system that isn’t living up to expectations. The center of the house feels warm enough, but other areas have cold spots or perhaps aren’t getting warm at all. What’s happening? Do you need to call us for heater repair in Roanoke, VA?

When Is a Furnace Too Old?

Monday, December 19th, 2022

It would be wonderful if you only had to purchase one furnace for your home (probably the furnace that came with it) and never had to worry about it again. It would work flawlessly for your family each winter season, providing you with warmth, comfort, and safety, and you’d never have to have it replaced.

This is a fantasy, of course. Any powerful mechanical system can run into malfunctions, and no heating system can run forever. But it’s easy to fall into thinking that your heating system is just going to run year after year—and then one day, it doesn’t, and you’re stuck trying to get it replaced.

The way to avoid this situation is to take stock of your furnace and know when to start considering a replacement. We’ll address the question of when a furnace is “too old” below.
