Boiler Services for the Winter

Preventative maintenance helps heaters run throughout the entire winter. Without annual boiler repair and heating services, a boiler may not be able to provide enough steam to warm radiators in the home. A professional inspection includes examining the safety valves, checking ventilation, and testing flame detection devices. When each component is working correctly, households save money and energy. 

What Are the Boiler Basics?

Homeowners are usually aware of their heating system but may need help understanding the importance of a boiler. Boilers are essential because they provide steam that can be distributed throughout the piping system. This allows baseboard radiators and heating coils to warm a house efficiently.

The difference between a furnace and a boiler heating system comes down to mechanics. While a furnace uses warm air, a boiler uses steam from hot water. Both techniques will warm an entire house, but boilers are considered much more energy efficient. Although the initial price can be expensive, boilers save money in the long run.

Boilers can heat water from electricity, oil, or natural gas. From there, a small pump can heat cast iron radiators or baseboard radiators from the steam. Since a fan or blower is unnecessary, boilers are much quieter than furnaces. 

Common Issues With Boilersproblems

Boilers tend to leak without proper maintenance. Excess water surrounding the piping or boiler tank indicates that the pressure valve is too high. A professional will inspect the seal and individual components to see if all valves are working correctly. If one cannot make repairs due to the age of the boiler leaking water, replacements may need to be ordered.

One should fix a heating system immediately if the boiler is making a banging noise. This phenomenon is known as “kettling” because it sounds similar to a tea kettle. Typically this is due to a build-up of minerals from constant water usage. Professionals check for clogs inside the heat exchanger to reduce extreme heat.  

Inconsistent heating occurs when the boiler valves begin to malfunction. This could be due to a faulty airlock or diaphragm. This differs from the kind of component a homeowner can easily replace without experience and proper equipment. A qualified professional is best for handling boiler services.

How To Save Money With Boiler Maintenance

Trained technicians can help homeowners save money by providing quality inspections. Homeowners without the right tools and education will likely miss problem areas in the supply lines or circulator pump. Since boiler replacement is usually more expensive than boiler repair, one should examine the boiler annually to keep up with necessary maintenance.

There are a few household tips that can keep boilers running for longer. Turning the boiler off during summertime will reduce energy bills while the heating system takes a break. During the wintertime, it’s advised that homeowners leave the boiler on while vacationing. This will also prevent pipes from freezing.
