If you have a boiler in your home or commercial property, you are probably well aware that this piece of equipment is critically important. Boilers are used to heat water for everyday activities like showering and washing dishes. But even more importantly, they keep homes warm in the winter by providing steam heat through radiators. Boilers provide a highly effective heating system as long as they are functioning optimally.
If there is something seriously wrong with your boiler, you will probably notice the symptoms right away. It’s important not to ignore even subtle signs of a potential boiler problem as this can jeopardize your energy efficiency, home comfort, and even your safety. Green Heating, Cooling, & Electric offers boiler replacement in Philadelphia and the surrounding areas so you have peace of mind in your residential or commercial property.

Unfortunately, not every boiler can be fixed, and few boilers last longer than a decade or two. Very old or damaged boilers are destined to break down eventually. The question is: Is your boiler at that point yet? The following signs indicate a boiler problem best left to a heating company in Philadelphia:
If you notice brown water coming from your faucets, this is a serious sign that your boiler may be failing. Technicians may perform a tank flush, which can help clear up minor sediment buildup
Any smell coming from your boiler is not ideal. But the smell of rotten eggs specifically could indicate bacteria buildup in the sacrificial anodes. This smell can also indicate a gas leak, so it’s critical not to ignore it
No homeowner wants to turn on the faucet and find that there is no hot water. However, this is one of the clearest indicators of boiler failure. If you do have hot water but it runs out very quickly, this is also a sign of a problem.
This is another alarming symptom to take action on right away. If your home feels cold even after you’ve checked the thermostat setting, something might be wrong with the boiler.
Your pilot light should stay lit and give off a blueish color. If it is not staying lit, this is a sign of a problem. Yellow or orange-colored pilot flames indicate inefficiency and a lack of oxygen.

A boiler is a type of heating system that uses hot water or steam to heat your home. Boilers are typically more energy-efficient than furnaces, and they can provide consistent heat throughout your home.
You should have your boiler serviced at least once a year to keep it running smoothly. However, if you notice any problems with your boiler, don’t hesitate to call for repairs. Fixing a smaller problem now will be much more cost-effective than waiting until it becomes a larger problem.
The average lifespan of a boiler is 15-20 years. However, properly maintained boilers can last even longer. The lifespan of your boiler will also depend on the type of boiler you have. If you’re not sure about the state of your boiler, we’ll be happy to take a look.
If your boiler is more than 15 years old, it’s likely time for a replacement. However, even if your boiler is newer, it may need to be replaced if it’s not running efficiently or if you’re constantly having to call for repairs. Other signs that you may need a new boiler include strange smells, large amounts of water around the boiler, or decreased performance. If you’re not sure whether you need a new boiler, our team can help you assess your options and choose the best course of action for your needs.
