Decreased Efficiency
Perhaps one of the more telling, if not discreet, indicators that it is time to replace your home’s boiler is a continued decrease in efficiency. What level decrease in efficiency will be tolerable is subjective to each homeowner. With a decrease in efficiency, you will notice lessened functionality from your boiler, meaning you’ll be less comfortable in your home as water will take a long time to warm up and your house won’t warm up properly. You’ll also notice an increase in cost on your energy bill, as your boiler has to work harder to heat your home and your home’s water when it is not operating at optimal efficiency.
