What is a Boiler?

A boiler provides heat to the home by either producing steam or heating water, which it distributes to a radiation system of either baseboards, radiators, or hot water coils. Some systems are also able to produce domestic hot water to the home. With the proper upkeep and maintenance, certain types of boilers can last 15 to 25 years.

How Does a Boiler Work?

A boiler heats water to keep your home warm and some units also produce hot water for your faucets and showers. It works by circulating hot water or steam through pipes that lead to radiators or underfloor heating systems in your home. These radiators or floors give off heat, which warms the rooms.

Once the water has traveled through the system and given off its heat, it cools down and returns to the boiler to be heated again.

Age of the Boiler

The first thing we check is the boiler’s age. Boilers typically last 15 to 20 years, and if yours is reaching that age and frequently needs repairs, it may be time for a replacement.

Cost of Repairs

While a one-off boiler repair isn’t a big deal, a replacement may be more economical in the long run if you need frequent repairs.

Energy Efficiency

Older boilers are much less energy efficient than new models, meaning a boiler replacement could save you money on your energy bills.

Frequency of Breakdowns

A system that frequently breaks down is not only inconvenient but could also indicate that the boiler is reaching the end of its lifespan.

Safety Concerns

It is best to replace the boiler if you have safety concerns, such as a carbon monoxide leak.
