6 Actionable Boiler Maintenance Tips

Annual Service

Contact the experts at www.absoluteplumbingandboilers.com to have the boiler serviced each year. This annual service ensures the unit continues to run optimally while minimizing the potential for breakdowns.

In addition, service visits help to extend the lifespan of the unit and keep energy costs low. Many manufacturers will require annual service as part of the warranty agreement.

Choose an experienced individual who will inspect the entire unit to ensure all elements work as intended. This thorough examination identifies minor problems before they become major issues.

With this service, the homeowner reduces the risk of the unit breaking down when they need it most.

Radiator Care

Homeowners need to bleed the radiators yearly, if not more often. Air becomes trapped in these units and will prevent them from heating the home properly.

Furthermore, the radiators need to be balanced to ensure the home heats evenly. An experienced technician helps homeowners carry out this task.

Radiator Repairs

Homeowners must monitor the radiators to catch problems. For example, radiators build up dirt and debris, which can lead to the top of the radiator getting hot but not the bottom.

A power flush resolves this issue. A radiator that doesn’t heat often needs a valve replacement, which an experienced technician can handle.

Proper Ventilation

Certain boilers must remain well ventilated to operate properly. Modern boilers feature a balanced flue pipe responsible for removing waste gases while providing the air the boiler needs.

Non-condensing boilers, in contrast, feature an open flue responsible for removing waste gas. However, the flue doesn’t draw in oxygen, so the unit must remain well ventilated.

Make certain there is ample space around the boiler to prevent issues. If there are concerns regarding the ventilation, speak with the technician during the annual service.

Avoid Frozen Pipes

Frozen pipes can lead to the boiler breaking down. Fortunately, there are simple ways to prevent this issue. If the home has water supply lines in the garage, ensure the doors remain closed when the temperature drops outdoors.

Open cabinet doors within the home to allow warm air to circulate around exposed pipes and allow cold water to drip from faucets to prevent freezing.

Homeowners often turn the thermostat down at night, but doing so increases the risk of pipes freezing. Consider investing in pipe insulation or heat tape to reduce the risk of pipes freezing or bursting.

Call a Professional

Never attempt to repair a boiler. Call the professionals to handle this job. They will ensure the unit works effectively and efficiently.

If a repair is not done correctly, the boiler could cause a fire in the home, explode, or allow carbon monoxide to leak and endanger the health of those in the home. Leave this task to the professionals.

Boilers serve a vital role in many homes today. With proper maintenance, you can ensure this unit operates efficiently and provides the heat needed to keep the home at a comfortable temperature.

Call for a service and inspection today. You’ll sleep easy knowing the unit is working properly and won’t break down when the temperature drops.
