Signs Your Boiler is in Need of Servicing

Proper maintenance on your heating system is essential to keep your family safe, warm and comfortable through the winter months.

In order to keep your boiler unit in good working condition, and operating safely and efficiently, it is extremely important that basic system maintenance is performed at regular intervals. Our Vancouver boiler service technicians can perform an annual inspection of your unit to ensure it's properly functioning. The age of your boiler system is important, as over time your home's boiler system gets a lot of wear and tear. We recommend annual servicing for newer models and bi-annually for older systems, as they are prone to frequent repairs and issues. Failing to maintain your system can result in breakdown, higher energy bills, costly repairs and dangerous carbon monoxide leaks. Contact us at 778-227-1119 for prompt Vancouver boiler repair or maintenance.

Does my boiler need to be repaired? Call us today if you notice any of these symptoms:

Unusual odors: If you smell a strong metallic, or gas smell coming from your utility room there is a good chance your system has developed a leak. Carbon Monoxide leaks are harder to detect and can be fatal. It is critical that you call in a professional immediately if you notice anything unusual about the way your system is functioning.

You begin to notice cold spots in your home or lack of hot water: Over time your boiler can have issues with sludge and muck that builds-up causing your system to shut down.

Unusual noises: such as banging or clunking sounds is a definite sign your boiler is in need of repair. Iron deposits causes unequal dispersal of water causing the boiler to make unusual noises.

Things You Can Do at Home to Help Maintain Your Heating System

Bleeding your radiator and supply hoses: this helps to release air trapped in your system and makes your unit much more efficient. If you begin to notice that your rooms take an unusually long time to warm up, this may be the reason.

Turn the heat on! It is a good idea to turn your heat on at least once a month, even in the summer. Especially in older models, boilers can over time, clog up with sludge and grime. Running the system often will help to eliminate these types of issues and the need of costly repairs, especially if your boiler is more than 10 years old.

Understand what pressure your boiler needs to be running at: Every boiler is different. That is why it is a good idea to keep an eye on the pressure gauge. Read through your owner’s manual to find out what pressure your boiler need to running at to maintain efficiency.

Get an annual inspection from a certified technician. The best time to get an inspection is in early fall, September – October.

Clear objects away from the boiler: It is a good idea to keep your utility room clean and free from objects that could damage your boiler. These objects could potentially catch fire. (Note: Keeping the area clean will also be helpful in the event of a disaster as it will make it easier for a technician to get to your system).
