Should You Consider Replacing Your Boiler?
Even with consistent boiler maintenance, your boiler won’t last forever. The average life expectancy for a boiler is between 10 and 15 years. Some can last longer, but it is critical to recognize the signs that your boiler may need to be replaced.

Your Boiler’s Flame Is Not Blue
Your boiler’s flame should always be blue. This indicates your boiler is operating safely and efficiently. An orange or yellow flame could indicate incomplete combustion. If your boiler’s flame is orange or yellow, this could indicate incomplete combustion. This is not only bad for your boiler, but can also release harmful carbon monoxide. If your boiler flame is not blue, get your family and pets out of the home before calling Deljo immediately.
