Many people ask us about how often a boiler really needs to be serviced. Of course, the answer depends on you. You can choose whether or not to schedule annual boiler services—but we strongly recommend you do.
A boiler seems like a sturdy, reliable system. And it is—for the most part. But any system that uses combustion and electrical power, has moving parts, and has the potential to corrode requires routine maintenance. Period.
The furnace is a fixture in your home you rarely give much thought to. Typically, you care more about the thermostat settings and whether you’re getting the right amount of airflow throughout the home.
But it’s worth it to give some thought to your furnace before it starts to cool off significantly. That gives you more time to enjoy the winter and less time worrying about if and when your furnace will break down. You can save money and your family is safer too!
You have a major decision to make. Your boiler is in need of some big repairs, and it’s time to call in professionals. Should you have them make repairs to your boiler, or is it a better idea to replace the whole boiler tank at once?
If you’ve got problems with your heater, there’s no time to wait. What technicians call “heating season” is coming up fast. If you’ve noticed problems with your heating system—or even if you haven’t noticed any problems yet—it’s time to call in your local HVAC technicians! We explain more in the short guide below.
One of the most important things you can do for your heating system is to see to it that it gets the maintenance it needs. Part of this means that you should change your filter (if you have a forced-air heating system) and call for repairs as soon as you notice any issues. But it also means scheduling maintenance with annual technicians before the heating season starts.
