Boiler 101.

There may be far more interesting topics, but you need to know the signs when the boiler in your home is about to go out.  What is the average lifespan of a boiler.  For most homeowners it is between 10 and 15 years.  It has such a wide variable because of the amount of use it gets.  In the Coeur D’Alene and Spokane lean toward 10 years because of our climate.

Here are some signs that your boiler is about to fail –

1.  The most obvious sign is that there is NO hot water.

2.  Maybe the water is hot, but the water pressure is lower.

3.  Strange banging noises are coming from your boiler.

4.  The pilot light keeps going out.
