Boiler Installation 

One of the biggest factors to consider when replacing a boiler system is its age. Most boilers will last for around 15 to 25 years. If you are needing constant repairs and your boiler is nearing the end of its lifespan, rather than spending significantly more money, more frequently, trying to repair your current boiler system, consider replacing it all together. This will save you money in the long run as continuously spending to repair a boiler nearing the end of its life is likely wasteful considering the system will likely fail very soon anyways.

Corrosion is typically a dead giveaway that it is time to have Holt Plumbing & Heating replace your boiler. Corrosion occurs around your boiler when valves break and leaks occur allowing air to corrode the boiler. Additionally, the reaction between the boiler’s heat exchanger and burners can cause corrosion as well. Having Holt Plumbing & Heating perform yearly maintenance on your boiler system is the best way to help prevent this and prolong the lifespan of your boiler system. If you are seeing any corrosion at all on your boiler, you are best off replacing the entire system all together.
