The fact that they use radiant heat and water to transfer heat throughout your home means that they don&#8217;t constantly have to cycle fans and deal with indoor air quality contaminants flooding the system. However, this is not a promise but more of a good omen. Boilers can and will fail prematurely when they&#8217;re not maintained, when they run into issues, or when they&#8217;ve just reached the end of their functional lifespan.<\/p>\n<p>It might seem like a great topic of conversation to be that homeowner who goes without <a href=\"\/service-areas\/syracuse-in-hvac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">boiler service in Syracuse, IN<\/a> because you&#8217;ve got the oldest system in the neighborhood. Some people wear that tag with a badge of honor. However, your ancient boiler system might be running up your monthly heating bill and actually causing you to waste money every year.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Your Boiler Might Be Running Inefficiently<\/h2>\n<p>Look, one important thing we&#8217;d like to get across to all of our readers is that boiler replacement isn&#8217;t just spurred on by a broken-down system. Many homeowners can actually replace their systems\u00a0<em>before<\/em> it&#8217;s completely out of commission and their homes are cold. One of those ways is by investigating the efficiency of the system.<\/p>\n<p>Boilers are designed to be some of the most efficient heating systems in the world. If yours is costing you\u00a0<em>way<\/em> more than you were promised when it was first installed (or when you first moved into your house), then it&#8217;s likely struggling to keep your home warm. This is a problem, and we&#8217;re trying to tell you that it&#8217;s likely to get\u00a0<em>worse, not better.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Let&#8217;s Find Out If You Need to Replace Your System<\/h3>\n<p>Here are a few more tips to help you figure out if your boiler has failed you.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Age.\u00a0<\/strong>Simply put, the age of your system is great information that will give us a sign as to whether it should be replaced or not. Boilers last between 15\u201320 years with yearly maintenance. Anything beyond this and you&#8217;re taking a gamble.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Frequent problems.\u00a0<\/strong>Are you calling our team on a yearly basis because there&#8217;s always something wrong with your boiler? It doesn&#8217;t have to be like that. Boiler systems are supposed to last years between every repair call.<\/li>\n<li><strong>It&#8217;s leaving much to be desired.\u00a0<\/strong>If you&#8217;re finding many cold spots throughout your home, especially in rooms with large windows, then you might have a boiler that&#8217;s starting to fail.<\/li>\n<li><strong>It&#8217;s noisy.\u00a0<\/strong>Boilers that are older can run into problems with water that&#8217;s too hot, too pressurized, and starting to evaporate into steam. This can cause loud and uncomfortable noises which usually point towards the system becoming unreliable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>It emits foul odors.\u00a0<\/strong>In the case of a gas boiler, foul odors could signal a gas leak, a carbon monoxide leak, or some other kind of emergency. With other kinds of boilers and foul odors, your system could be leaking and causing mold or mildew to grow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Collier&#8217;s Heating &amp; Air Conditioning can help you with your boiler replacement. <em><a href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Call\u00a0Colliers<\/a>\u2014A company you&#8217;ve grown to trust.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a problem, and we&#8217;re trying to tell you that it&#8217;s likely to get worse, not better.
