Boiler Repair | Heating System Warning Signs
While furnaces and boilers are very different animals, they exhibit similar warning signs when trouble is brewing. So be on the lookout for any of the following:
- Unusual noises or smells
- System cycling on and off
- Uneven heat distribution
- Water at the base of the unit
- Higher than normal utility bills
- Thermostat is unresponsive
- Excess dust from your forced air heating system (furnace)
A well-made and routinely maintained furnace has an expected equipment life of 12-15 years. A good boiler can last for 20 years. So, if you’re experiencing a consistent lack of indoor comfort and your system is closing in on its “expiration date,” think twice before having it repaired. As a rule of thumb, opt for system replacement if the estimated repair cost is at least half of the cost to replace it.

Looking Out for Your Safety
There’s more than family comfort at risk when a heating system goes bad. A crack in a furnace heat exchanger, for example, could result in a leak of carbon monoxide gas. For your own protection, have your heating system checked by a P.C. professional once a year and outfit your home with hard-wired carbon monoxide and smoke detectors on every level of your home and near all bedrooms.
Heating systems also consist of electrical wires – something else we look at during a system inspection. A loose connection here or a frayed wire there can be the harbinger of an electrical fire. We’ll take all necessary steps to prevent that.
