How do I know if I need a boiler repair service?

Even the best-built boiler will need a repair at some point. If yours is more than 15 years old or if you’re experiencing any of the issues below, it may be time to call a licensed technician.

Higher costs: A spike in your monthly energy bills may be a sign your boiler isn’t operating at peak efficiency.
Inconsistent temperature: A swing in temperature or lack of heat in some rooms could mean your unit is malfunctioning.
Leaks: When a boiler leaks, it’s likely reaching the end of its life. You may need to have it replaced to avoid a breakdown or prevent flooding.
Discolouration: If you see black soot or yellow flames on the burners, the fuel may not be burning properly. You may also be at risk of carbon monoxide exposure.

Want to replace your boiler instead?

If your boiler is at its end of life, you may want to consider buying a Boiler Maintenance Plan — or replacing your boiler altogether. Our Boiler Buyer’s Guide can help you understand the options available.
