Repair or Replace Your Boiler?
Boilers typically last 15 to 25 years with proper maintenance. When yours develops a problem, you may wonder whether to repair or replace it. Key factors include the age of your boiler, repair cost versus replacement cost, current efficiency rating (AFUE), availability of replacement parts, and how frequently repairs are needed. A boiler over 20 years old with a major component failure is usually a candidate for replacement with a new high-efficiency condensing model.
Key Factors to Consider
When deciding between repair and replacement for your boiler, consider the age of your current equipment, the cost of the repair versus the cost of replacement, the efficiency of your current system, how frequently repairs are needed, and your long-term plans for your home. CANRO Heating & Cooling provides honest assessments with transparent estimates for both repair and replacement options.
Professional Inspection and Assessment
The best way to decide between repair and replacement is a professional diagnostic inspection. A licensed technician can assess the condition of your equipment, test for efficiency and safety concerns, evaluate the cost and complexity of the repair, and provide a comparison of repair versus replacement costs.
