Warning Signs That Your Boiler May Need Repairs
Boilers are durable and long-lasting. They seldom break down, but nothing lasts forever. Give your boiler the longest possible lifespan by providing yearly checkups and maintenance to prevent potential costly repairs.
Here are several issues that usually require boiler service.
Issues with Temperature
If the water in your boiler system is colder or hotter than it should be, you may have a problem with the circulation components of your heating system.
Unpleasant Odors
Unfamiliar or bad odors coming from your heating system are clear indicators that something is amiss. Whether the odor comes from a ventilation problem or fuel, the problem should be fixed as quickly as possible.
Leaks or Drips
Ignoring leaks or drips from your boiler system is a mistake. The water can damage your floors and boiler. The leak clearly indicates a problem with your heating system.
High Utility Costs
Utility costs naturally fluctuate through the year depending on the weather, so it’s always a good idea to compare your costs from one year to the next. If your heating costs are rising substantially, contact a professional heating contractor to identify the cause of the boiler or heating system inefficiency.
High Repair Costs
You will know the time has come to replace your boiler when repairs are becoming more frequent. You may save money in the end by upgrading your boiler. A trusted professional’s guidance is the best way to know the appropriate course of action.
Strange Sounds
Kettling is a sound that resembles a teapot that’s about to boil over, and it’s triggered by a build-up of pressure inside the boiler’s heat exchanger. Grumbling, banging, or kettling should never be ignored. These sounds are not a normal part of boiler operations.
Problems with the Pilot Light
When your pilot is having issues lighting or staying lit, you need a professional heating contractor to address the cause of the problem.
Lack of Heat
A boiler may stop providing heat for a variety of reasons. From ignition to fuel supply to problems with circulation, the causes are many. It could be as simple as a thermostat malfunction or as serious as a problem with the boiler or heating system. Either way, when your home is no longer warm, it’s important to have a dedicated HVAC professional upon whom you can rely.
