SIGNS TELLING YOU TO REPLACE YOUR BOILER

This article will tell you exactly when it is time to replace your boiler. We will cover everything from high energy bills to smelly leaks, so you can understand whether or not you should replace your boiler that has been around for the longest time. We understand that boilers are one of the most used gas appliances in the house, and it is easy for the signs to go unnoticed.

Radiators not working properly

If your radiator is taking longer than usual to heat up, then this is a sign that your boiler is not performing as efficiently as it used to. New boilers take almost no time to reach the actual heating temperatures and the radiators become warm quickly. This is also a potential sign of a problematic heating system which is why you should do a quick search on “heating engineers near me” if you don’t already have a go-to guy.

Smelly boiler

A good working boiler will always be odourless, and if you smell something sulphur then there is a high chance that there is a gas leak in your boiler which you should get checked as soon as possible. Other carbon monoxide signs include:

·         Boiler burning a yellow flame instead of blue

·         Soot stains around your boilers

·         Window condensation

High heating bills

If your bills are rising faster than usual, there is a very high chance it is time to get a new boiler because your current boiler is not working as efficiently as it used to. You can also check the rating on your boiler, if it is a G rated boiler then it is probably less than 70% efficient. If you are looking for a new boiler, then you should look for an A rated one this time.
