When to Replace Your Boiler and Why Professional Boiler Replacement Matters
Your boiler is a key component of your home’s heating system, especially during the chilly winters in New Jersey. But how do you know when it’s time for a boiler replacement? Ignoring the signs of an aging or malfunctioning boiler can lead to higher energy bills, frequent repairs, and even unsafe conditions. At Peace of Mind Plumbing & Heating, we offer both boiler repairs and replacements, ensuring your home stays warm and efficient.

-
Uneven Heating: Struggling to keep certain rooms warm? An inefficient boiler might be the culprit.

Unusual Noises: Clanging, banging, or whistling sounds from your boiler could indicate severe issues requiring replacement.
-
Visible Corrosion or Leaks: Signs of rust or water pooling around your boiler are clear indicators it’s time for a new unit.
