With proper maintenance, boilers last for around 15 years on average. A cast iron boiler may last longer, over 20 years, but you should always consider the efficiency of older boilers and opt to replace an old one if it’s significantly lower than newer, high-efficiency boilers. Otherwise, you’ll be spending more on your utility bills each month.

Costs range from $3,000 to $7,500, depending on system size and efficiency.

Modern boilers average around 20 years of use before failing, with some hitting 25 to 30 years. Older boilers, however, can last up to 50 years because they are often made from ultra-durable cast iron. Newer models are made from steel alloy and related components, which are great for withstanding high pressure levels and hot temperatures but offer a slightly lower life span.

In some cases, conversion kits are available, but not all boilers are compatible. Conversion may require significant modifications and should only be performed by a qualified professional. Before making a decision, compare conversion costs to the cost of a complete replacement to determine the most cost-effective and reliable option for your home.
