Benefits of Upgrading to a High-Efficiency Boiler

W.H. Riley & Son will help find the boiler that is right for you

As long as a boiler is well maintained it can last a homeowner anywhere between about 10 and 15 years. Professional boiler tune-ups, which should include a cleaning of the burners, thermostat calibration and a test of the burners and safety switches, are absolutely key to a boiler’s longevity.

When your boiler hits the 10 or 15-year mark it is best to start thinking about an upgrade. You may also want to consider an upgrade if your boiler is taking a long time to warm up, providing uneven heating or needing frequent repairs. Not only will these issues be fixed when you upgrade your equipment, but your home will also benefit in other ways as well. Let’s go ahead and take a look at what they are.

A boiler upgrade equates to a cost savings

Modern boilers are automatically energy-efficient and most of the energy they use goes towards warming a home. The fact that they are so energy-efficient can help a homeowner cut down on his or her energy use as well as his or her expenses by up to about 30%. This is a pretty nice cost savings!

A boiler upgrade can free up space in your home

Compared to older boilers, modern versions are smaller and more compact. This means you will have more room and space in your home when you upgrade.

New boilers are quieter

Old boilers tend to be clunky and noisy. Today’s models, on the other hand, are quieter thanks to modern engineering.

New boilers reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Thanks to the fact that they are so efficient and use less fuel to heat homes, modern boilers end up reducing the amount of greenhouse gases that are released into the air. Certain high-efficiency boilers can decrease emissions by up to 30%! Additionally, modern boiler models produce fewer pollutants such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide.

A boiler upgrade can improve your home’s air quality

Newer boilers are made with good filtration systems that trap more particles, dust and pollen than older models. Some modern boilers can even kill germs and remove harmful pollutants from your home’s air with electronic air cleaners and UV lights. All of this makes the air that you breathe while inside your home healthier and better for you.

New boilers are less likely to breakdown

When you have a boiler that is on the older side, you always face the risk of it breaking down. It becomes less and less reliable as the years go on. A broken boiler can cause water damage and that is something every homeowner wants to avoid. Upgrading to a new boiler reduces the chances of your equipment breaking down.
