5 Signs You Need A New Boiler:

• Large and/or multiple leaks: While small leaks can be repaired, larger leaks can affect the structural integrity of your boiler. Multiple leaks can indicate that your system may be suffering from corrosion.
• Your boiler is over 15 years old: Even the highest quality boilers won’t last forever, as wear and tear catches up to everything. This means that boilers past their prime are not only less efficient but also more likely to need repairs more often.
• You need boiler repairs more than once a year: The cost of frequent repairs can really add up. Not only are these repairs costly but eventually, they affect the structural integrity of your system.
• Unexplained energy bill increase: Spikes in your monthly boiler bill is a warning sign that your system is no longer as efficient as it used to be. Whether this is due to age or leaks, it is clear that your boiler isn’t serving you as well as it could be.
• Inconsistent or uneven heating: Are you experiencing hot and cold spots in your space? If so, your current system might not be able to support your heating needs. This can cause your system to overwork, causing spiked energy bills, more frequent repairs, and worst of all, an uncomfortable home.

Why Is My Boiler Making A Whistling Noise?

Typically, when a boiler starts to whistle, the culprit is your water pressure or even a damaged pump that is on its way out. However, whistling could also indicate the presence of air in the boiler. Regardless, it is best to bring in a professional heating technician who can evaluate your system to determine the source of the noise and what repair is needed. Other noises to look out for include rattling, gurgling, banging, or humming. While it is normal for boilers to make some level of noise, unusual or loud sounds emitting from the heating system are typically an indication that a repair is needed. However, noisy operation is not the only reason for a repair.

Common Boiler Problems, Include:

• Damaged or malfunctioning thermostats which can affect the system’s ability to heat your property
• Broken or faulty thermocouples which can cause the boiler’s pilot light to extinguish
• Frozen condensate pipes which can lead to a blockage caused by water buildup, resulting in a host of problems
• Large accumulation of sediment, or scaling, within the boiler, resulting in noisy operation, decreased efficiency, and even corrosion if severe enough
• Damaged pressure valve which can lead to changes in your water pressure or even a leak
