Our old boiler is 30 years old and has served us well with no problems whatsoever. Can we expect a new boiler to last as long?
Provided the boiler is installed properly and maintained well, it should last you a long time. Most boilers generally get changed before they encounter failures due to the escalating prices of fuels and the continuing advances in technology in building more efficient boilers. We have an older home with an unlined brick chimney and want to know if can be used with a new high efficiency gas boiler. Today's boilers are more efficient and have lower flue gas temperatures than ever before. It is strongly advisable to have an insulated liner installed in your chimney if you intend to use it to vent the new boiler. Gas boilers with AFUE Efficiencies at or above 85% must utilize a certified vent system such as AL29-4C Stainless Steel or Polypropylene that usually terminate through the sidewall of the building. Many can also terminate through the roof as well. These boilers utilize induced draft fans and sealed vent systems that can operate with the much lower flue gas temperatures and flue
