The Jackson’s Pennsauken, NJ home was not as comfortable as they were used to and could tell something was wrong. Their boiler was over 35 years old which is far past the lifespan of most boilers. Most experts recommend replacing your boiler every 10-15 years.

McAllister’s service tech, Rich, identified a cracked heat exchanger in the Jackson’s oil fired boiler and then helped the family find a solution that was perfect for their situation and one that would restore the comfort of their home they were used to.

Rich recommended that the Jacksons use an Energy Kinetics Accel 97% Modulating Boiler. He also let them know about a package deal that included an Energy Kinetics indirect hot water heater which they decided to purchase.

Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Boiler In Pennsauken, New Jersey

One of the things you should always keep in mind is the age of your boiler or other home heating system. How long your boiler lasts depends on a lot of different factors such as the brand, your home energy usage, and how well you kept up on maintenance and cleaning throughout the boiler’s lifespan. A good rule of thumb that most HVAC experts agree on is replacing your boiler every 10-15 years. While this may seem like a large time frame, it takes into account all the variables we just discussed.

The other most obvious sign that it may be time to replace your boiler or other home heating system is your energy bill. Normal fluctuations in your monthly energy costs are to be expected so don’t think just because one month is slightly higher than you have to all of the sudden go replace your boiler. However, if you do notice your bill to be over 15% higher than it normally is for that time of year, you may want to call a professional to come and take a look at your system.

Other Signs It’s Time For Boiler Replacement

There are many warning signs that your boiler will give you towards the end of its life. Some of the most common issues that come at the end of a boiler’s life include:

• Uneven Heating- A telltale sign that your boiler needs to be replaced is the uneven heating of rooms throughout your home. If you’re noticing hot/cold spots in your home or rooms are just not being heated at all, you should call the professionals at McAllister to come evaluate your system.
• Boiler Noise- A boiler operating in a normal manner should not be noisy or cause disruptions in your daily life. If you’re noticing any kind of hissing, cracking, bangs, or any other loud noises, call a heating professional immediately.
• Rust and Cracks- As your boiler ages, it’ll go through the normal wear and tear than any other machine goes through which includes rusting, cracking, and all the rest. Cracks in the system can be potentially dangerous but are, unfortunately, are a fairly common occurrence.
• Frequent Problems/Repairs- If you’re noticing you’re getting your boiler serviced multiple times per year, it’s definitely time to consider replacing. Other than preventative maintenance, you shouldn’t have to call for boiler repair more than once per year. Consistent problems in your home heating system are a sign that you need to upgrade to a new one.
