The Importance of Your Annual Boiler Inspection
The annual inspection of your boiler is an important maintenance step. During a boiler service, a professional heating contractor will open the unit up to brush and rinse the heat exchanger. Since boilers use water as a means of circulating heat, rust can occur if a boiler is neglected. Corrosion will cause components to need replacement, but a professional contractor will spot rust when it begins or prevent its formation in the first place.
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
When to Think About Replacing Your Boiler
A professional heating contractor will guide you through the decision-making process to help you choose between repairing the boiler you already own or investing in a new one.
Here are some signs that may indicate replacement is in order:
- Old age – With proper maintenance, high-efficiency condensing boilers are expected to last at least 15 years, while cast iron water boilers have an average lifespan of 20 or more years. No matter how well-maintained your boiler is, consider replacing it with a more efficient one if it is older than its average lifespan.
- It breaks down regularly – If you are calling for boiler repair more than once or twice a year, this is a clear indication that the unit is due for either a major overhaul or replacement. A new boiler will provide you with reliable heat and fewer service calls.
- Your energy bills are rising – As boilers age, they become less efficient and waste fuel. Energy bills that are rising for no apparent reason are a sign that you should consider upgrading to a unit with new, energy saving technology.
- It leaks often – Over time, boilers can develop leaks from cracks in the body (usually from corrosion or stress fractures in the metal), damaged seals, and high pressure. A boiler that leaks could be nearing the end of its lifecycle.
Keeping your boiler in good working order calls for dependable inspection, maintenance, repair, and installation services. For your home in Chicago, IL, find the right home heating professional by using the locating tool on the U.S. Boiler Company website.
