The Average Lifespan of a Boiler — When is it Time for Boiler Replacement?
Our HVAC technicians have noticed something over the course of servicing boilers this winter: some homeowners in Cleveland own boilers that are well past their life expectancies! We’ve performed boiler maintenance on units that are 20, 30, and even 40 years old! It’s great to make the most out of a hardworking appliance, but there’s a point where not getting boiler replacement can be unwise…and even dangerous!
The average life expectancy of a boiler is about 10 to 15 years. That’s with regular maintenance and other safety precautions taken. Most boiler manufacturers expect you to replace your boiler after that time, so warranties are generally between 6 and 10 years.
Why is it so critical to replace a boiler before it gets too old?
Three Reasons for Boiler Replacement
Here are some reasons for homeowners not to delay on getting boiler replacement this year if their unit is past its original warranty:
Safety– Your family’s health is obviously the #1 priority. In order to produce heat, boilers burn fuel. Combustion creates byproduct
gasses like carbon monoxide that can be serious health risks in large quantities. Older boilers tend to be a major CO risk. CO levels become dangerous at approximately 70-100 ppm.
Risk of Failure– Technology for boilers is constantly increasing, and the standard for energy efficiency keeps rising. That means if your boiler fails or springs a leak, it may be difficult to get a direct replacement. Replacing your boiler in a timely fashion helps ensure you don’t have to worry about sudden heating failures and be forced into a major upgrade!
Efficiency– Over time, boilers (like all home appliances) tend to lose their efficiency. As heating efficiency decreases, not only does your house feel colder — you might also start to notice your monthly bills going up, since your furnace is working harder than ever to reach the thermostat pre-set.
Although the old boiler that came with your home may be operational, butit’s highly recommended that you look into boiler replacement every15 to 20 years — and definitely before 40! Call in the Cleveland, OH heating experts at Arco Comfort Air for boiler replacement today!

We originally called Acro for one issue but ended up with getting our very out dated breaker boxes replaced which was definitely needed. Shavine M. and Evan S. were both our electric technicians for our full job. Shavine M. was the first technicians on site and was very prompt. The gentlemen let us know before hand the amount of time the power was going to be out and we gave them the space to work. After the work was completed, Shavine gave a walk through of the work completed today and a explaination of the next steps after. We are very happy with the work completed and Shavine and Evan were a pleasure to have as technicians on the job.

Great experience! Quote and installation/service performed same day when others were weeks out just for quote appointment. We had an attic vent fan hooked up and some landscape lighting repaired, but seems they could really do any/all electrical projects you would need.

We had our AC serviced by Arco. The first day we had a technician. He said he had to order parts and would return the next day. The next day we got a new technician EUGENE and he was so professional, h shared what he was doing, he was friendly, and insightful. We had to replace our thermostat. He was quick and proficient. I highly recommend Arco but specifically Eugene. Thank you.
