Expert Answer from CANRO
Replace your boiler if it is over 15 years old and requires a major repair, if the heat exchanger is leaking or corroded, if repair costs exceed half the cost of replacement, if parts are becoming hard to find, or if your energy bills are rising significantly despite normal operation.
