Understanding Boiler Service
Our services covers all aspects of installation, repair, and maintenance. While less common than furnaces, they provide steady warmth without air ducts and a central fan. Hot water or steam circulates through piping and radiates heat throughout your home. It requires a slightly different skillset than for forced-air systems, which our experts at Burgess Plumbing Heating & Electrical Co Ltd have.
There are several signs that you need boiler maintenance or repair:
- Unusual noises
- Unpleasant odors
- Cold rooms
- Slow heating
- Water leaks
Boiler Installation: Getting It Right
Professional installation is crucial for safety and system efficiency. Proper installation reduces the risk of gas leaks, carbon monoxide buildup, and other hazards. Our certified HVAC technicians and plumbers follow strict safety codes and have the training to do the job right.
You may need a new boiler if yours is 15 to 20 years old. Other signs include rising energy bills, frequent breakdowns, and uneven heating. Choosing a new boiler involves several key decisions. Our recommendations will consider size, fuel type, and efficiency rating. The right combination provides reliable heat without wasting energy.
Installation begins with removing the old boiler and preparing for the new one. Steps include connecting the water and fuel lines and installing venting for safe exhaust. The technicians then fill the boiler, test for leaks, and prepare the pressure and temperature settings. A final inspection confirms the system runs safely and meets local codes.
Boiler Repair: Fixing Problems Promptly
Prompt boiler repair is a matter of safety and comfort. Small issues can quickly turn into serious problems if ignored. Acting quickly keeps your heating system efficient and reliable.
Common boiler problems often start small. Leaks may show up as condensation near the unit. Or, the boiler pressure might drop. And pressure problems might cause poor heating or weird noises from your pipes. If you notice these warning signs, it’s time to call for repair. Timely repairs prevent major breakdowns and save money.
Boiler Maintenance for Longevity
Boiler maintenance is the best way to keep your boiler running safely and efficiently. This helps prevent breakdowns, maintains energy efficiency, and extends the lifespan of the boiler.
Maintenance includes several steps that help keep your system in top shape. These include cleaning the burners, checking the heat exchanger, and testing safety controls. We also inspect the pressure, valves, and thermostat. If you have filters that need cleaning or changing, that’s done as well. These small steps make a big difference in how your boiler performs.
The benefits you get from maintenance go beyond just reliable heat. An efficient boiler uses less fuel, which helps lower your energy bills. It’s also less likely to stop working and need an expensive repair. Some manufacturers also require annual maintenance to keep your warranty valid.
