There's nothing worse than an unexpected boiler breakdown leaving you dealing with the cold until it's repaired. Fortunately, there are some warning signs you can look out for that will indicate your boiler is on its last leg.

Our Buffalo boiler technicians recommend you invest in a new unit if:

• Your boiler is older: Older boilers are much less fuel efficient than modern ones, which could lead to increased energy bills because they have to work three to four times harder. Additionally, older boilers are more prone to wear and tear, meaning you will need frequent repairs that can add up quickly.
• Your boiler frequently makes odd noises: While it's normal to hear faint sounds as your boiler runs, you should never hear loud groaning, hissing, clanking, or creaking sounds emitting from it. This could mean you're dealing with a leak or a loose part somewhere and it's important to get it checked out as soon as possible.
• Your boiler is leaking: Water around your boiler is a telltale sign that something is wrong. Failure to get it repaired as soon as possible could result in a larger leak and the need for a replacement.

Additionally, installing a new boiler comes with many benefits. Modern units are more compact, taking up less space. They also will work more efficiently, decreasing energy bills and saving you money each month. One of the most important benefits of a new boiler is the fact that you'll have greater control over the temperature in your property.

As an added bonus, all of our installations and replacements come with worry-free warranties.
