Signs You Need to Replace Your Old Boiler
We are trained to handle any heating repair or boiler installation task. If our plumbers confirm that your current boiler is in good working condition and only needs a small repair, we won’t suggest a replacement.
However, if your boiler is older than ten years and requires frequent repairs, we will discuss new models and offer you quick and efficient installation.
Here are some of the common signs you need to replace your water heater:
- Strange noises (clanking or banging)
- Leaks (in the bathroom or basement)
- Strange odors
A boiler system is an essential component in every Fairbanks home that provides the ultimate relaxation and comfort, but the heater’s efficiency can deteriorate over time because of aging. When this happens, you will spend more on your energy costs and maintenance.

How to Take Care of Your New Boilers Installed in Your Property?
Whether you choose an electrical or natural gas boiler, it is essential to know how to take care of the system once we install it in your home or office.
We highly recommend considering our yearly maintenance services. Our skilled technician will perform a comprehensive inspection of your heating systems and air conditioning units to ensure they work properly. Next, we will open the systems to clean inside and check the flue. We inspect various components to make sure everything is secure and there are no potential issues.
Another thing you can do is talk to our contractors about insulation. Boilers in Fairbanks, AK function better when they maintain a consistent temperature. A boiler jacket can help improve the system’s efficiency and performance.
Our Furnace Installation Process
Boiler & furnace installation is a complex process, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Each water heater and furnace system installation requires specialized training, skills, and tools to do the job right.
You don’t have to purchase the tools or know the process behind the job. That is where Prospector Plumbing and Heating comes in.
Proper System Design
If you are replacing an older furnace, our contractors will run a full set of load calculations before selecting the new unit’s capacity.
Some of the most important metrics we consider include:
- Property size
- Insulation values
- Perimeter tightness
- Duck leakage
- Internal loads
A furnace installed without comprehensive calculations may not heat the air in the home and have a short life cycle.
Choosing The Furnace Type
- Propane
- Electric
- Oil-fired
- Gas
Most Alaska homes use natural gas furnaces. The systems running on natural gas provide reliable heat, and costs remain relatively stable and low compared to other options. However, if you don’t have a natural gas line in your area, you may consider an oil-fired furnace.
With proper maintenance, oil furnaces last twice as long as gas ones, but the prices vary a bit, making your fuel costs unpredictable.
Electric furnaces are smaller than others and are affordable. The only disadvantage is that they are not as efficient as oil and gas furnaces.
The Installation
Each installation starts with an analysis of the ductwork to check for gaps, breeches, or loose connections. If something is wrong, our technicians will repair it. Substandard ductwork may lower the performance of the new furnace and can be dangerous.
Our technicians will remove the old furnace and set the new system in place. We will:
- Align the furnace
- Connect the system to the return ductwork
- Seal the connections
- Check for any leaks
- Connect the pipe system
- Connect a thermostat to the unit
- Test the system throughout the heating cycle
Before leaving the property, our technicians will air balance the registers and ensure every room in your home or office receives the right amount of conditioned air necessary to maintain a comfortable temperature.
