Should I Repair or Replace My Boiler?
Wondering if you should repair or replace your boiler? Here are some key factors to consider:
- Age. A well-maintained boiler generally lasts 10-20 years. If your boiler is nearing the 10-15 year mark, replacement is likely the most cost-effective route.
- Repair costs. Frequent repairs can add up quickly. If repair costs exceed 50% of the price of a new boiler, we recommend investing in a new boiler.
- Efficiency. Older boilers operate less efficiently. Upgrading to a new model can reduce operation costs, making it a worthwhile investment in the long run.
At Indianola Mechanical, we can inspect your current system and recommend suitable solutions to help you move forward with confidence!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Choosing the right furnace size depends on various factors, such as your home’s square footage, layout, insulation quality, and usage patterns. An undersized furnace may struggle to heat your entire property, while an oversized furnace can lead to frequent cycling and high energy costs.
As a general rule of thumb, most homes need between 30 and 60 BTUs per square foot. However, this may fluctuate based on local climate and seasonal fluctuations. At Indianola Mechanical, we conduct comprehensive load calculations to determine an appropriate furnace size and capacity for your residential needs!
-
If your boiler’s pilot light keeps going out, some potential causes include a dirty or faulty thermocouple, a blocked pilot orifice, strong drafts, or low gas pressure. These issues are especially common in older homes.
Persistent pilot light issues require prompt attention from a licensed professional to prevent gas supply problems. If your pilot light is going out repeatedly, give us a call at (515) 501-5648. Our office is available 24/7 to take your call!
-
If your boiler isn’t evenly heating your home, some possible culprits include a faulty thermostat, a faulty diverter valve, a clogged radiator, and blocked or frozen pipes. Uneven heating can also occur if your boiler isn’t the correct size. No matter the problem, our technicians can help you diagnose the cause and restore consistent heating.
