Modern boiler systems work by circulating water or steam through pipes to radiators or radiant floor systems, which warms your home. U.S. Boiler Company designs, engineers, and manufactures energy-efficient residential boilers and provides a “Find a Contractor” tool on our website for when you need boiler installation and repair services in Milford, CT.
Boiler systems are generally less expensive to operate, more durable, and more comfortable than other home heating options. They will, however, require annual maintenance. Periodic boiler service catches possible problems before they arise, and extends the service life of the system.
The Necessity of Regular Maintenance
The most fundamental reasons to explain the need for regular boiler maintenance are comfort and safety during the cold winter months.
During a boiler service, a professional heating contractor will open the unit up to brush and rinse the heat exchanger. Spotting and remediating corrosion is another reason for regular maintenance and inspection. Since boilers use water as a means of circulating heat, rust can occur if the boiler is neglected. Corrosion will lead components to need to be replaced, but a professional contractor will spot rust when it begins or even prevent its formation in the first place.
Appropriate regular maintenance can keep your boiler system functioning well for many years.
A thorough inspection will be able to identify and remediate problems such as:
- Heat exchanger
- Leaking
- Scaling (mineral buildup)
- Circulator pump performance
- Other problems that affect performance
Finding the Right Contractor to Service Superior Products
Some of the best residential boilers in North America come from U.S. Boiler Company. We sell boilers, hot water heaters, and cast iron radiators to distributors in Canada and the US. These distributors then sell our products to independent installation contractors and dealers.
Doing your homework is an essential part of finding the right contractor. From installation to repair, the professional you select will have a direct effect on the longevity of your boiler.
Social media, neighbors, and friends in your area can provide useful information about the reputation and work quality of local contractors they have used. Other reliable sources include online resources such as Yelp, Angie’s List, Google Reviews, and other consumer review pages.
Ask about any industry-related certifications the contractor holds. NATE-certified technicians, for example, are well-trained and pass rigorous tests that demonstrate their knowledge of the installation, maintenance, and service requirements of modern heating and cooling systems.
You will also want to know if the contractor has insurance to cover accidents or injury on your property.
Ask contractors for references and call them. Find out if the installation or services were performed well and completed on time and within budget.
The boiler in your home is important to your family’s comfort. If you need boiler installation and repair services in Milford, CT, the “Find a Contractor” tool on the U.S. Boiler Company website will provide a starting list of professionals who are knowledgeable about our products.
