Preventative Maintenance Best for Peace of Mind

More often than not a gas boiler that receives an annual checkup and maintenance will give you many years of reliable service. However, it’s important to remember that, just like an aging car, a boiler will require more extensive repairs as it gets older. Since you don’t want to be without heat on a cold winter night. And you definitely don’t want to expose your family to a dangerous condition it’s imperative that a qualified technician inspect your heating system and perform routine maintenance on at least an annual basis.

As your boiler ages there is more of a chance that your boiler could fail or malfunction. Here are four things Salem homeowners should be on the lookout for during heating season.

Before calling for heating system repairs be sure to check that your thermostat is set to the heat setting and that a circuit breaker or fuse has not blown

No Heat

If your boiler fails to produce heat or is not producing adequate heat it could be due to an accumulation of sludge at the bottom of the boiler. You would definitely need to call a boiler repair expert to diagnose and repair the problem.

Odor

An odor could indicate a malfunction of venting equipment or it might be a gas leak. In either case seek the advice of a qualified heating system repair technician. Keep in mind that Carbon Monoxide, an odorless, colorless, tasteless gas may be present.

Noises

Noises in your boiler can be a result of iron deposits causing an uneven distribution of water. This can cause your boiler to overheat or fail. If you hear noises coming from your boiler contact a qualified boiler technician immediately.

Leaking Water

Water leaking around your boiler is an obvious sign of a problem. Contact a qualified boiler technician ASAP. Besides the fact that the problem is likely to get worse operating a leaking boiler consumes much more fuel than it would otherwise.

A regular regimen of maintenance along with necessary repairs will prolong the life of your heating system.
