What you get from Bonfe:
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 need constant repairs and your boiler is nearing the end of its lifespan, rather than spending significantly more money, more frequently, trying to repair it, consider replacing it instead. This will save you money in the long run as continuously repairing an older boiler is wasteful considering the system will likely fail very soon anyways.
Corrosion is typically a dead giveaway that it is time to have your boiler replaced. Corrosion occurs 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 yearly maintenance performed 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.
Generally speaking, if you find your boiler requiring more and more frequent repairs that are costing more and more money… it’s time to pull the plug and invest in a new boiler altogether.
Once your boiler no longer working as efficiently as it has in the past, you may want to start considering replacing it. If your boiler is needing more fuel than in the past to run efficiently, this is a good indicator that it may be nearing the end of its life. Additionally, newer models of boilers are generally more energy efficient than those of the past, which can help you save on your monthly utility bills.
When a boiler is beginning to fail, it will make a variety of foreign noises that you have never heard before. If you hear any type of clanging or banging noises, you should call for help right away. Banging or clanging noises are usually a result of a blockage, leak, or pressure issue within the system. If you hear odd noises from your boiler, call us to have it inspected and at minimum, repaired. It is still recommended to seriously consider replacing the unit entirely in this situation.
Leaking from your boiler system is never a good sign. But don’t stress! Call our experienced professionals for help if you notice your boiler is leaking. Your boiler is probably beginning to fail and can actually cause catastrophic events, like flooding, which can result in critical boiler and property damage. If your boiler is leaking, don’t wait! Call in our experts right away.
A major sign that your home’s boiler system will need to be replaced soon is if it is not heating your home correctly. If you notice inconsistent temperatures around your home, such as one room being drastically warmer or cooler than the others, your boiler’s controls are failing (meaning the boiler will fail indefinitely very soon). In which case, you will need to have your system replaced.
Boilers work by heating a liquid that is then pumped through the pipes. The liquid then enters devices like radiators, in-floor heating loops etc. to help keep your home comfortable and heated. In addition, combination boilers can also heat the water in your home, eliminating the need for a water heater.
Different types of boilers currently available include system boilers, standard boilers, and combination boilers. Combination boilers are most often the top choice as they heat your water as well as your house. If you are looking to install a boiler in your home but are not sure which type of boiler to use, have a heating expert from Bonfe Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, Electrical, & Sewer come to your home and assess your heating and water needs. Your Bonfe Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, Electrical, & Sewer heating professional can then recommend what system is best for your home and even offer you a free quote on the cost of the boiler and the install.
Most boilers typically last about 10 to 15 years. It’s important to note that having the proper maintenance done at least once a year by professionals at Bonfe Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, Electrical, & Sewer will greatly increase the lifespan of your boiler and further help prevent potential problems leading to unnecessary repairs and premature replacements.
A few indications that you may need to replace your boiler include frequent breakdowns, higher bills, your water and/or house not heating sufficiently, and/or unexplained noises. If you notice any of these problems with your boiler, you will probably benefit from replacing it with a new one as these are all indications that your boiler could fail soon, and the costly repairs will only continue. Call Bonfe Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, Electrical, & Sewer to have a heating expert consult with you on installing a new boiler and even provide you with an estimate before installing anything.
This will largely depend on the same factors previously outlined regarding the cost of installation, however as a guideline a like for like replacement that connects directly to the existing pipework could be fitted in a single day. If for any reason alterations to the existing system are required for the system needs power flushing, then the boiler installation may typically take between one to three days. Finally, if you have chosen to install an alternative system such as a heat pump, you may need to allow up to three to five days depending on your specific situation to allow for additional work such as drilling which may need to be carried out.
The difference between a water heater and a boiler is that a water heater generally heats the water in your home that can be used for showers, cleaning, cooking etc. while a boiler heats water to a much hotter temperature to keep your house warm. With modern advancements, a new type of boiler has been invented, known as a combination boiler, that does actually have the ability to heat both your house and your water.

We had a fantastic experience with Jalen, who came to repair our boiler on very short notice. He was professional, efficient, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was working perfectly. Not only did he fix our boiler quickly, but he also took the time to inspect the system thoroughly. During the visit, Jalen identified an issue with our backflow pipe that we weren't even aware of, spotting potential problems before they could escalate. His keen attention to detail and genuine care for his work saved us from a future headache. Highly recommend Jalen for any plumbing needs!
