Is boiler maintenance really that important? There are several major reasons to stay on top of your routine boiler care, including:
Safety. A neglected boiler may develop cracks or leaks, which could become a serious hazard. A boiler technician will inspect pressure levels and safety controls to prevent household accidents.
Efficiency. All boiler systems accumulate sediments and mineral deposits, reducing your boiler’s performance over time. During a professional maintenance appointment, the tech will clean your boiler and ensure it runs efficiently.
Longevity. A well-maintained boiler will last longer and require fewer repairs since an annual inspection will help uncover any issues before they become major problems.
Savings. Boiler maintenance can save money by preventing expensive repairs and reducing energy waste.
Warranty. If you have a warranty for your boiler, the coverage terms typically require that a licensed technician service the unit at least once a year.
What To Expect During a Regular Boiler Check-Up
Our boiler maintenance services include a thorough inspection and an efficient boiler tune-up that covers all parts. During a typical service appointment, our hardworking technicians will:
Check your boiler for corrosion or leaks.
Check your system’s water pressure and adjust it if necessary.
Inspect and thoroughly clean your boiler system’s internal parts.
Look for fissures, cracks, and signs of wear and tear in the piping.
Check your boiler’s control panel settings.
Inspect the flue terminal to confirm that it’s properly sealed and free of obstructions.
Test your boiler’s feed valve.
Ensure your boiler’s electrical connections are in good condition.
For high-efficiency boilers, check the condensate drain and pump.
A standard annual boiler inspection takes between 20 and 40 minutes, but a tune-up could take an hour or more if you have an older boiler or your boiler system needs more work than usual. We’ll do our best to schedule your boiler maintenance for a time that works for you.
What If a Boiler Inspection Uncovers a Major Problem?
Sometimes, a boiler inspection will reveal a serious hidden issue with one of your system’s parts. In this case, our boiler technician will suggest timely repairs. If your boiler system is very old and worn down, you may also consider an upgrade.
