Here are some signs you may need a new one&#8230;\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Age<\/h4>\n<p>The average life expectancy of a boiler is between 10-15 years.

If your bills are rising, it could be time to upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>Especially if you have a G ERP-rated boiler and it&#8217;s over 15 years old, it&#8217;s likely been overworked.
