With winter approaching, your home’s heating system becomes increasingly important. A well-performing boiler keeps your home comfortable through the winter while also helping control energy costs. However, if your boiler is questionable in terms of age or reliability, you might want to consider scheduling a boiler replacement before winter arrives. Here are some signs that will help you avoid breakdowns, emergency repairs, and higher heating bills this winter.
-
Your boiler is over 15 years old
Most boilers for home heating last between 10-15 years with proper maintenance. If you have a boiler that is approaching or is past this lifespan, it may be operating with reduced efficiency and could fail you just when you need it to perform most.
-
High energy costs
With older gas boilers, you may find your heating bills rising regardless of no change in your usage. This is because your boiler is working harder than it needs to. A new gas boiler installation will significantly increase your energy efficiency and lower your monthly bills.
-
Frequent repairs
Are you calling the service technician for repairs every season? Trust us when we say that small repairs add up, and before you know it, spending that money on a new system is definitely going to make more sense. And if you get a more modern boiler put in place, you won’t have to bother with repairs for a long time. This also gives you peace of mind for many a winter.

Your home is heated unevenly
Are you noticing some rooms are warmer than others? Or does it take forever to heat up your home? If so, this could be an indication that your boiler is having trouble heating your home evenly, and that the end is near.
-
Your boiler creates strange noises or leaks
Boilers that bang, rattle, or leak water are telling you that something is wrong. Delaying these repairs will not only impact your comfort, but also lead to larger, more expensive problems to fix.
The importance of timely replacement
It is inconvenient to have your boiler break down in the middle of a freezing night, and also an expensive problem to resolve. Planning for a new gas boiler installation before the start of winter ensures that your family is ready for winter weather, while avoiding emergency service expenses.
Concluding thoughts
Although replacing your boiler may seem like a huge step, the advantages far outweigh the consequences of retaining an old, inefficient boiler. If you are noticing any of the above-listed signs, now may be the perfect moment to speak with a heating expert from Boyle Energy about new gas boiler installation options for your home heating.
