Signs You Need Boiler Replacement
The team at Lakes recommends a full boiler replacement for your home in the following instances:
- Your boiler is more than 15 years old: As your boiler ages, it can become less efficient and unreliable, making a replacement your best option.
- Your boiler needs frequent repair: Calling for repairs more than once per season is often a sign that repairs aren’t the most practical choice.
- Your energy bills are rising: If you notice an increase in your energy bills without added usage, it could be that your boiler is losing efficiency.
- Your home has uneven heat: A boiler that creates uneven heat in your home is struggling to keep up with your comfort needs and should be replaced.
What Happens During Installation
At Lakes, we’re proud to offer a thorough and streamlined installation process that ensures top-tier results. This includes:
- Evaluating your home’s heating needs to recommend the right boiler size and type.
- Draining, disconnecting, and safely removing your old unit.
- Preparing the installation site with proper piping, venting, and electrical.
- Setting and connecting your new boiler into place.
- Flushing the system and testing pressure, temperature control, and safety systems.

Choosing The Right Boiler
Selecting a boiler for your home requires you to consider budget, efficiency, sizing, and more. Luckily, Lakes is here to help you make the best choice. We work with homeowners to help them get the best system for their needs and can guide them in considering several factors, including:
- Fuel type: Boilers can be fueled by natural gas, propane, oil, or electricity. The most common and cost-effective in Ohio is typically natural gas.
- Boiler type: We offer a wide range of options, including combi boilers that provide heat and hot water for your home.
- Efficiency: Boilers with higher AFUE ratings may increase installation costs, but can offer long-term savings through reduced operating costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Know My Boiler Needs Replacement?
In general, a boiler that is old, inefficient, or unreliable should be replaced, as the cost to repair the system may not buy you much additional time in its lifespan. You can also use the rule of thumb that replacement is the best option if the cost to repair is more than 50% of the cost to replace.
How Long Does Boiler Installation Usually Take?
Boiler installation can take anywhere from 1 to 3 days depending on the condition of your existing piping and whether you are installing any upgrades.
Can You Replace A Boiler Without Changing Radiators?
Your radiators are separate from your boiler, meaning you can replace the boiler without getting new radiators. However, this is only recommended if your current radiators are properly sized, structurally sound, not leaking, and compatible with the new boiler.
