We rely on boilers to keep our homes warm during cold rainy nights. So, when your boiler isn’t living up to the job, replacing it in a timely fashion is advisable. Here are 5 signs that you may need a brand-new boiler.

Leaks

A clear sign is when you start to notice small pools of water underneath the boiler or the piping. Leaking is a major concern because it means pressure is being lost in the boiler, it’s not going to be as efficient, which will cost you more money to run.

The bills

Every boiler has an efficiency rating along with how much it will cost to run it, per hour. If you find that your boiler costs more to run than it should, it’s having heating efficiency problems. We all want to make a saving on our heating bills, unexpected high costs are usually due to a boiler that’s no longer efficient.

Strange noises

A boiler should not be making any abnormal sounds. Pops, bangs and groaning are alarming. Your boiler could be on its last legs.

Smell

If the boiler begins to smell, it could be due to the components burning.

Parts no longer made

If the boiler has broken down and parts are needed, but they cannot be found, then it’s time to replace it. Parts no longer being made is a sign the model is obsolete.
